Max is 100% right on the money. Saying people need money is a lazy reason why the NFL should have a season. Max Kellerman has been on point with some of the stuff he's been saying for a little while now.

“The defense wants social closeness” 🤣

Unless the NFL gets an island or two, theres no way they wont have massive covid outbreaks

[yyyremix]

it's easy for Stephen A to say when his job that gets him paid allows him to work remotely

[Harun-cdjz]

Stephen A Smith is talking about NFL football like it's an essential job.

[Geeandrezzi]

As soon as somebody gets sick DURING the season, everything will be shutdown

[MP-pgcm]

I just don’t see how the NFL can pull this off. It so many moving parts in the nfl to pull this off safely.

Players sweating and breathing on each other scares me for the lives that can be lost.

[chrisray]

The season needs to be moved back to Nov or possibly even Dec it’s not gonna go well if they stick with the current time frame.

[jaleru]

Stephen A is bought. All we have left is Barnes and Stack.

[cloudfreedom]

Cancel the season and save lives . Football can wait another year.

There’s gotta be a bubble for players and coaches to not enter the stadium if they have tested positive for covid

[GeneralBiggs]

Stephen A. cares about his money, lol. If it was up to him, all sports would be playing right now 😂😂🤣🤣.

It's up to our leaders and elected officials Stephen A. This is unprecedented time. If the pandemic gets worse. The economy will suffer anyway. Our elected officials need to have a plan like weeks ago.

[johncena]

I hope there’s a widespread outbreak on teams. It will be hilarious

[jasonau]

People’s lives are at risk. Stop talking about money. That’s disgusting.

[lamonthicks]

You cant have an nfl season.
60.000 people in one stadium at the same time.
I don't think so

[emanjoshua]

I’m with Stephen A on this. Max is so off... people are suffering due to the lockdown and less due to the virus. If the cure is more harmful than the sickness, the cure needs to change!

[Smiley]

Lets be honest, there shouldn’t be any sports this year besides maybe golf or tennis. This is coming from a die hard NFL and NBA fan.

[Justin-scdv]

Imagine playing football just to get sick, just to get paid and then die anyways
