Summary

Vacation is over and Florio & Simms are back together! With training camp fast approaching, the players coordinated on Twitter to blast the NFL for their lack of health protocols. How much pressure will this put on the owners? Why wasn't Tom Brady included? The NFL is taking a hardline stance on players opting out of this season. Is it fair? Is it realistic? On an NBC "Race and Sports in America" special, Chargers coach Anthony Lynn spoke about how football broke down racial barriers for him. Breaking news from this morning: the NFL has proposed just 1 preseason game. Is delaying the start of the regular season inevitable? In a "Sports Uncovered" podcast, Rob Ninkovich talks about the time Bill Belichick started a snowball fight with him. Florio reveals his PFT 2020 Preseason Power Rankings. Does he have the Pats too high?
