My Weekend Sports Observations for Oct 12, 2020

Like this one: “According to NFL chief medical officer Dr. Allen Sills, in the nine weeks since the start of training camps, there have been a number of “isolated, new positive cases of Covid among players and other personnel across nearly two-thirds of NFL clubs and one outbreak among the Tennessee Titans.
