So lots of things circulating the NFL currently but I really don’t care to talk about a lot of the controversial issues so I’m gonna talk about the fact that DeSean Jackson suggested putting mics on players during games this season.

With the possibility of the limited fans in stadiums the Philadelphia wide receiver made this remark a few days ago. Now this is something the XFL did a little bit of and it was very interesting and I think added a different level to watching the game. This may be problematic though because from my understanding there may be a lot of language not appropriate for children. This is not bashing the NFL players for this it’s just the way the game is and kids really look up to these guys.

Now I came up with a few solutions to these issues for example players having to have a mic in their uniform,when I heard there’s a potential of wearing a mask (there is very little chance of this but I heard the rumor.) So maybe we have mics on officials so that they pick up player voices but the players don’t have the extra weird bulk inside the uniform.

Another solution to players and the language they use is having like a 20 or 30 second TV delay. But that means it’s someone job to hammer that bleep button which is a lot of work and wouldn’t wish that job on anyone. Also with the way technology is we’d be seeing updates on our phones before we saw it on TV which would make people upset most likely. I mean I can say the same for me who doesn’t want to watch things in real time.

In my closing opinion here I’d have to say that it would be so cool to be able to hear the chatter between players and the hits on a different level. Although, I am not naive to the NFL and how much they love their image so I really can’t see this happening. I however do think they need something to make the game connect with people more if fans can’t come watch and I don’t have a solution for them but that’s not my job so I’m sure they’ll think of something.

As always thanks for reading and let me know if there’s anything you want me to write on!

Wow it really has been a while and there is so much to cover but right now I think I wanna talk towards my home state of Washington about this future NHL team.

I know hockey is kind of a foreign sport with it not being quite as big as baseball, football, basketball or even soccer really so I think this is a good chance for everyone to learn a little bit more about the sport including myself.

My biggest thing I want to mention is what is the name going to be? My prediction is the Kraken mostly because to start a game having the lights go dark and putting Davey Jones from Pirates KD the Caribbean up on the screen and having him say “release the kraken” and then the team skates out. Can you even imagine how epic that could be??? Another name in the running is the Metropolitans for some reason but I’m not a huge fan of that really. Kraken can keep those famous blue and green colors that those Seattle fans love so much.

Anyways amongst all this Covid-19 stuff I’m concerned for the team because what will it look like with getting players and putting a team together. I know it’s not for a while but still it’s never too early to start looking at young players that might be able to carry a franchise in 2 or 3 years.

In conclusion, they need to get some more information about the team released because now is the perfect time to bring some good news to the USA honestly. Also, imagine the amount of fan gear sales if season tickets sold out in like 10 minutes… I mean talk about some serious cash even I would be trying to order some form of gear.
