Today, we've got an interesting episode as it's Wednesday, June 24th.

Mike Thomas, have a lot to say to the media, namely naming off two players that will be presumed starters heading into training camp

for two positions that were left vacant to people who parting in the pet after the 2019 season.

We'll get into that. Then we'll get into other statements he had in the press conference where he was addressing certain situations, both with COVID-19 and potential protests, moving forward.
