The games are fun, but what happens between the games keeps our interest all week.
None of us want to talk about this so let's acknowledge it now and get it out of the way. There will be players or coaches who aren't vaccinated and subjected to the NFL's protocols, perhaps missing key games or even causing a forfeiture. We're already seeing it with Dallas Cowboys star guard Zack Martin likely out of the season opener. The social media arguments that will start after that happens will be equally baffling and circular. Just be warned: It's nearly impossible for COVID-19 to not be a story of the NFL season.
Jerry Jones has figured out something the rest of the NFL hasn't: Controversy sells, and it's good for business.
