- And it's all coming apart for the NFL. Three more Tennessee Titans club members have tested positive for the coronavirus... Another player (up to 8 now) and two more staffers.
- As, sources report, has New England's CAM NEWTON!! Latest word is they will try to play Chiefs-Patriots on Tuesday if he's the only one. It is confirmed that there is a positive for the virus on the Patriots, it's "sources" that are saying it's Cam.
- So has Kansas City's Jordan Ta'amu -- their practice squad scout quarterback, who, ironically, simulated Newton all week.
- As of about 7:30 PM Pacific, the NFL has announced that all other New England Patriot coronavirus tests have, for the time being, come back negative. We'll see if that holds up over the next week or so.
- The police at SMU have expelled the entire student section from the stadium tonight -- for not wearing masks nor social-distancing! And, ironically, they were playing Memphis -- a school widely impacted by the coronavirus.
- Pregame coronavirus testing has now nailed at least one member of the Saints with a positive while they're in Detroit, preparing to face the Lions. The player was on the team flight, so the entire team is exposed....
- So, just in the last 24 hours or so: The Titans, Patriots, Saints, and Chiefs...
- Ron Johnson is now the fourth Republican US Senator to test positive for the coronavirus. A Trump personal "Body Guy" aide has also announced he is positive.
- And very late news, less than 12 hours before kickoff for Week 4:
Multiple coaches have suggested this weekend the possibility of pressing pause on the season, reconfiguring the schedule to have 12 total regular-season games, and putting teams in hotels for the nine games left to be played.

If the games are played, fan breakdown:
- Tennessee WAS to have 7000 at the game before all Hell broke loose.
- Tampa Bay will, for an undetermined number of people who have had season tickets since 1998 or before. 25% planned for October 18, if we get that far. (their first fans of the season this week)
- Miami will allow 13000.
- So will Houston (their first fans of the season).
- Cincinnati will allow 6000 (their first fans of the season).
- Carolina will have an undetermined number. (their first fans of the season)
- Chiefs will have 16000 if/when the New England game is played, unless that changes due to Newton's positive.
- Dallas is actually planning more than the 21000 who showed up for their first home game.
As for the rest:
- Washington and Las Vegas are still saying no fans for the season.
- The Jets didn't (not that anybody wants to watch that train wreck!).
- Detroit, Chicago, and Green Bay not for this week, at least.
- The Rams are still Until Further Notice, but the word is no fans for 2020.
- And the 49ers aren't either.
