Slouched on the couch for the weekend slate of games, it was so good to see live, professional football again!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alas, as you may have expected, we have a few random questions\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it weird to see Tom Brady no longer donning any blue in his uniform?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And Philip Rivers is a Colt?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But really, can Bill Belichick and Tom Brady win without each other?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does not having fans in the stands affect the players and change the game?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Without the fans, is there such a thing as \u201chome field advantage\u201d?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the on-field, promotional signs to \u201cvote,\u201d are we being encouraged to \u201cvote\u201d or to \u201cvote a certain way?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What? The Jaguars, Raiders, and Washington Football Team all won?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Were those boos during the moment of silence when the Chiefs and Texans stood arm and arm? Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would we be a wiser to seek understanding before judgment?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is Colin Kaepernick still not signed and playing? Is it a racist, economic, or performance decision? Is the decision that simple?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are all athletes role models?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What determines who is a role model?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could someone please get Kansas City coach, Andy Reid, a new, not-so-foggy mask?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How exciting is the talent of youthful quarterbacks such as Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and Lamar Jackson?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Could this finally be the year for \u2014 dare-I-say \u2014 the Buffalo Bills?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do we really have to watch all these political ads? \u2026 and for another 49 days?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How do the announcers decide what they\u2019ll say and what they won\u2019t about our country\u2019s current cultural issues? Is it a lose-lose situation, in the sense that they will never be able to appease all?

Is \u201csilence equivalent to compliance\u201d or is that me applying my behavioral standards to someone else? Is that ok?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When will Tua Tagovailoa get to play?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is Cam Newton back?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Does kneeling matter? Or does it depend why one does it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What efforts are creating unity and what are not?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why are the ratings significantly down?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will they keep playing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What will happen next?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until next week…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

… when we slouch in the couch once more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Respectfully\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
