2020 has been a cluster. Nothing seems quite the same. And yesterday while we all watched as the Ravens hosted their divisional rival the Browns, we wondered what it might look like – what it might feel like. Clearly it wasn’t the same.
The stadium was devoid of fans. The scene was solemn by NFL standards. On a personal level, it reminded me that September 13, 2020 was the first time since 1981 when I didn’t attend an NFL home opener in Baltimore. Energy was lacking and as John Harbaugh and Calais Campbell later said, it was a BYOE event – Bring Your Own Energy.
