(S21) - PT3 - Quarantine

[Memento Mori]

I'm sure we'd all be very disappointed if the NSFL decided to suspend the season. Thankfully, it's currently 2036 in-universe, and COVID-19 is long behind us. Unfortunately, some NSFL players - such as Tom Sofa of the Myrtle Beach Buccaneers - have contracted COVID-36. While DSFL weeks 1 and 2 were suspended as a result of Sofa's announcement that he'd tested positive for COVID-36, the DSFL has continued following this brief suspension.

If COVID-36 shuts down the NSFL then I'm sure, as one of the most positive places I've ever been in, that the Buccaneers locker room would find a way to stay positive and we'd continue to practice self-improvement. In the absence of in-person practice, I'm sure we'd find a way to practice at home while connected through voice and video chat to keep the team spirit up.

The offensive linemen would be making pancakes, as that's what they do on the field and I'm sure making edible pancakes works the same way. It'd also help them to keep their weight up so that they aren't prone to being pushed out of the way by scrawny, inferior defensive linemen upon the resumption of NSFL action.

The quarterbacks on the roster could practice throwing relatively easily. Tom Sofa and Chris Ramos can stand at one side of their respective apartments and throw furniture at targets placed on the opposite wall. Dinner plates, glass bottles, anything with a curved element to simulate a football.

Personally, I spend most of my time chasing after receivers that have run past me and caught the ball while I'm just minding my own business defending the flat in zone coverage. I'm sure I can practice that by just running from one side of the apartment and back, over and over.
