1. Apologies in advance, but I need to kick things off today by stroking my own ego.
Three weeks ago, on the SI Media Podcast, I said that when training camps opened, the biggest story in the NFL would be about the number of players who wouldn’t get vaccinated.
Cut to yesterday and all hell broke loose when the NFL announced severe consequences for teams who have a COVID-19 outbreak involving nonvaccinated players.
This story is only going to get bigger and bigger as the season approaches and more big-name players reveal that they refuse to get the vaccine.
