First; the devastation is terrible, and anything football is secondary to the 250,000 displaced people & lives lost.
I don’t mean to trivialize any of that by talking football.
But this is a football site, and also a footballl topic since the fires have an impact.
So I’ll say this: I work outside. I worked outside yesterday. It was brutal.
I’m heavily invested in chargers (Allen, Gordon, TyWill) & Rams (Gurley) between my 2 leagues.
Reportedly NFL consultants/air quality monitors gave the all-clear but I’m 300 miles from the fire standing at my market wearing a bandana over my face because when I take it off I start coughing within minutes.
the air quality here is brutal - everything is hazy & the sun is merely a blood red glow in the sky.
I cannot imagine how bad it is in LA.
While they’re going to play the games, I’m lowering expectations. I’m betting players will rotate in & out more frequently to get oxygen.
Obviously I’m not benching the players I listed. If I had a better option I’d bench Ty. BYE week makes that unrealistic for me. But If you have marginal players in those games, I’d recommend benching them.
A californian’s perspective, standing out in heavy, acrid, smokey air.
Good luck everyone, and bless those in SoCal - it’s a nightmare scenario & no one should have to suffer that kind of devastation. :(
