Monday should have been a rough day for anyone who loves the NFL, let alone the sport of football.
The body blows started early, too, beginning with the sobering news of the COVID-19 outbreak that swept through the Miami Marlins’ clubhouse and caused two teams, the Marlins and the Philadelphia Phillies, to cancel their games for the day.
While that news, an ominous sign for every sports league that’s operating without a centralized bubble, was the topic du jour Monday, it wasn’t the only warning signal about the NFL’s ability to have a complete season.
