tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 29, 2020 Allegedly. Texans already debunked a batch of phony positive tests. These guys who tested positive should demand further tests. If they aren’t sick, chances are they aren’t sick. Crazy I know, wild logic. If their follow up tests with a non agenda driven testing facility come back positive, they should simply stay away, test the rest and play as normal if they come back negative.

Testing facilities that rely on positive tests to keep their business going (Many have been proven as fraudulent already). People who want the nfl shut down to further their fear monger it and keep the gravy train going for the people making billions off COVID. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted September 29, 2020 This is a minor hiccup and all games should be just fine. A few guys got positive results back, let them sit and play with the rest after they test negative. Not a big deal and I’ll bet the players who are positive feel fine anyway.

Otherwise it's just a waste of $40. I think this exemplifies what I was saying in the post from July--don't invest a lot in this cartoon of a season. GET WELL SOON, TYROD, DREW AND RAHEEM!

stonewall 647 Posted September 30, 2020 Wednesday or, less commonly, Thursday mornings, are the days most leagues have the first waivers of the week. Only leagues that run on Tuesday will be impacted by this issue, as it stands now. Of course, commissioners in those leagues could adjust league settings for this upcoming week to run first waivers later, I assume. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,460 Posted September 30, 2020 So if I own Henry, I can count his points this weekend and add them up with his next game also? That just wouldn’t make any sense. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AxeElf 787 Posted September 30, 2020 On most platforms, the Commish has the ability to go in and modify lineups and scores after the fact, so whenever the game is played--even if it's in November--the Commish can go back and edit those lineups and scores that were affected. Hopefully it will just be an isolated incident, 'cause editing all the lineups and scores from multiple games a week could get to be a pain. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AintNoStoppinMeNow 68 Posted September 30, 2020 If I'm remembering right I do believe there was a Tuesday night game before when the old Vikings stadium roof caved in from a ton of snow and they ended up playing on a Tuesday night in Detroit so Tuesday night wouldn't be completely out of the question if it came down to it. I don't remember any major issues so I believe most major fantasy platforms would be able to handle a Tuesday night game without it causing havoc. I read a tweet that the CBS crew was told to be prepared for a Monday broadcast so I would assume as long as there are no more positive tests and the Titans can get back in their building on Saturday that this game will be played on Monday.

The Metrodome axually collapsed five times, including one time in 1981 before it officially opened in 1982. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
