Didn't take long for Covid-19 to impact the NFL, or as I like to think of it now, the National FUBARed League.
FUBARed? Well, that's a military term from World War II. Unfamiliar? Check out the movie "Saving Private Ryan" which summed it up nicely.
After this past weekend, it's musical chairs with the NFL schedule makers. When the music stops, all teams have to have a week to play. Can't follow baseball's leads and play doubleheaders, you know.
So far, we've had two games on Mondays and games on Tuesdays. This week, no game on Thursday because the scheduled tilt (Kansas City at Buffalo) was moved to be an additional Monday game next week. And weeks 7, 8, 10 and 11 have also seen changes.
Covid Football, whether it's professional, college or high school, is a challenge that, frankly, we're just not prepared to deal with. Numbers going up-up-up in many states, especially here in Wisconsin, and that's forced games to be cancelled.
At least, at this point, the NFL has flexibility to move games around.
But for how long?
