the nfl really should be lauded.tes well above 93% are absolutely great news to hear. while i'm not involved with the nfl directly, my gut tells me that they're going to carry this off in spectacular fashion and should be way different than last year where, as you know, covid played a big role with regards to teams and players and even in this current preseason we saw some very high profile players released from teams not only, obviously, because of going into covid protocol, but, you know, when you have a short preseason and you miss a week, inevitably that's going to have an effect on your performance and your ability to be evaluated. so, yes, i think we're looking at a model that could be easily applied to regular business. arthel: cam newton, as you well know, he got cut by the patriots, and it's not just about covid, but that's a whole other subject. we're not touching that, i'm not either. not at all. we're moving on. so, dr. williams, i just am wondering, quickly, if you think you'll see more professional athl
