PAC12 postpones virtual media days.

Odd unless more significant news is to come since there's no apparent downside to VMD.

My understanding is that the weight restriction is the only "rule" difference between sprint football and traditional football - is that so?

I've always wanted to check it out regardless, it sounds interesting.

Yes, that's so. https://twitter.com/i/status/1284340698939105281

It's an odd quirk of mine, but I have trouble watching leagues that don't resemble the NFL/NCAA - things like IFL/AFL/CFL don't do a whole lot for me (although I'm coming around). Just nice to know what to expect before I try watching it.

Then there's European Football which resembles soccer more than football, that one has always confused me.

That's what I thought too, not sure why they'd postpone it. Maybe they have some other announcement to make and wanted to push it out a little longer? Who knows.

It wouldn't surprise me if the NFL doesn't allow fans, but makes me wonder about artificial crowd noise in the stadiums. Both Kansas City and Seattle have the loudest stadiums, so I wonder if they'll allow either of them to have louder crowd noise based on how loud their crowds get. Seeing the MLS games, I know that they are allowing artificial crowd noise but not the sound of the chainsaw for Portland.

I don't know about the canned crowd noise, but I'm guessing all 32 NFL teams will end up playing without fans. Go Pack Go!

I went to a game they year Seattle won the Super Bowl. For the next two days my ears were ringing because of how loud the crowd was there, one day more than for a typical rock concert. I'm guessing KC is the same for fans that forget to bring ear plugs. I thought the crowd was loud at first and couldn't get louder, then a tip and an interception and it skyrocketed.
