Perhaps the only upside to sports being put on hold has been the amount of honest, intelligent discussions dealing with race/justice issues in the wake of George Floyd's tragic death. These conversations have involved people of all races and positions in a variety of sports. Do you think they will continue as leagues resume competition, and will management or owners continue to allow people to speak as opposed to trying to stop or limit them?
Civil, productive conversations involving high-profile athletes and individuals can, in my opinion, help set an example of engagement in the process for change. I think the platform of the multi-racial and multi-ethnic sports world could be more important than ever right now.

Do you foresee the 2021 NFL Draft returning to format of the past or do you think the format will be similar to the 2020 virtual draft?
I'd be surprised if some aspects of the virtual draft are not incorporated in future, more traditional drafts.

Corey from Bethlehem's question on the Rams got me thinking about them selling out to win the Super Bowl. In my mind it was also selling out to win LA. They needed a big year to grow and capture as much of a fan base as they could before the Chargers or at the time Raiders moved to town. They might have lost the Super Bowl but that quick success won them a city. They were able to pack games while the Chargers hoped a handful of home team fans showed up each week.
Perhaps a valid point. If some data I dug up is accurate, the Rams saw their average attendance drop 20,000 per home game from their first year in LA (2016) to their second when the Chargers came to town, despite making the playoffs in '17. How much influence Kroenke had on the approach to '18 only a certain few really know. But they also had a playoff team with a young QB on a rookie contract, so they were in the right position to make the push regardless.

I believe the last team to go all-in to win a Super Bowl was the '94 49ers. It was the same year the salary cap was introduced which ended the one-uppsmanship between Jerry Jones and Ed DeBartolo. After two consecutive playoff losses in '92 and '93 to Dallas, the Niners added free agents Deion Sanders, Ken Norton Jr. and Rickey Jackson to an already star-studded team and beat San Diego in SB 29, giving them their fifth SB victory.
That's as good a call as any. Your note prompted me to do a little refresher on that team. How Carmen Policy built that roster worked because when free agency began in '93, he restructured a bunch of veteran contracts (and dumped some popular veterans like Tom Rathman and Bill Romanowski) to generate flexibility before the cap kicked in the following year, '94. In the transition to free agency and then the cap in back-to-back years, Policy stayed ahead of the curve and took advantage.

Due to a huge turnover on defense and a messed-up offseason, I predict the Vikings will sign Tramon Williams.
The Vikings currently have 10 cornerbacks on their roster, plus possibly another who's listed generically as a DB. All of them have spent two or fewer previous seasons in the league. I think if they felt the need for a veteran presence or stopgap player at the position, they would have made the investment by now. But we'll see.

The game of football appears to have evolved greatly over time in terms of rules and play, while other major sports have stayed relatively the same. If this is correct, why has football gone through more changes than other sports?
The inherent physical nature and potential for serious injury in the sport really have no peer within the other major sports. That means safety, equipment, technology, training methods and other aspects have a greater impact on how football is both played and watched than other sports. Styles and rules factor into that impact.

Speaking of laterals, I keep thinking about the Detroit game in 2015 when Aaron Rodgers got the ball before the facemask penalty. He had no one behind him to pass the ball to. Can players run back throughout the play so there's always somebody to receive the ball if it had to be thrown backwards?
Indubitably.
