Before shooting the messenger, hear the message. Would Bengals fans be OK not being able to watch Joe Burrow, a bevy of talent from free agency, and a promising team from the stands at Paul Brown Stadium? What if your only opportunity was to see the 2020 version of the home team from the cozy confines of home, with no one else around.
If you think that is a crazy idea, think again. While the National Football League might find a way to play the upcoming season, the thought that no fans allowed in would make for an interesting watch.
