Le Tigre Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 NFL just in time for the Brownies: On Friday, they received another surprise: The NFL gave the Browns and Raiders until 2 p.m. on Monday to activate players off COVID-19 reserve and make other roster moves, according to an NFL memo obtained by cleveland.com. Previously, it would’ve been Sunday at 4, so it gives Mayfield and some of the other 23 Browns players on various COVID lists a chance to make it back for the game, which has enormous playoff implications. The Browns can move into first place in the AFC North with a victory over the 6-7 Raiders and a loss by the Ravens against the Packers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted December 20, 2021 Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 5pm on a Monday in Cleveland will not be the marquee spot for NFL Network. The Shoreway will be jammed to the gills in traffic, so unless the attendees take a Monday off—or are unemployed anyway—a lot of Orange seats will be seen. Sunny and 39 at game time, so weather will be OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Le Tigre Posted December 23, 2021 Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Interesting insight into why the big push to play the postponed games, instead of simply cancelling them: NFL wanted to cancel Week 15 postponed games; NFLPA's pushback resulted in players getting paid The NFLPA successfully pushed the league into playing the games Had it not been for the NFLPA's executive committee, three of the NFL's Week 15 games would have been canceled instead of postponed. The cancellation of those games would have resulted in more than 18% of the league's players not getting paid that week, according to Browns center and NFLPA president JC Tretter. The Browns were one of six teams in jeopardy of having their Week 15 game canceled due to the recent spike in COVID-19 cases. The Browns-Raiders game was pushed back to Monday evening, while the Rams-Seahawks and Football Team-Eagles games were moved to Tuesday. "The issue wasn't about how many guys we got back," Tretter said on Wednesday, via Cleveland.com's May Kay Cabot. "Our position as a union is that we fight for wages, benefits, and working conditions. … The NFL's position last week was that those three games were going to be canceled. They weren't going to be played, and if they weren't played, than nobody on either team was going to be paid. That's obviously an issue for us as a union when over 18% of our player population was at risk of not getting paid last week. Our position was that we needed to make sure all games are played in order for our guys to get paid. And that was our position." With so many players at risk of not getting paid, the NFLPA's executive committee voted unanimously to postpone the games as opposed to cancel them. "We pushed the league for that resolution," Tretter said. The NFL informed teams prior to the start of the season that games could be forfeited in the event that an outbreak caused by unvaccinated players would lead to a cancellation. But given the rise of the new Omicron variant, many players and coaches who have tested positive in recent weeks have been vaccinated. The recent outbreak within the league led the NFL to revamp its COVID-19 protocols. The new guidelines include less testing for vaccinated players and changes in the return-to-play protocols that make it easier for a player to return to practice and games. While 18 games have been rescheduled over the past two seasons, no NFL games have been canceled, thanks in large part to Tretter and the rest of the NFLPA's executive committee.

Sounds like the guidelines are not very science-based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
