On the NFL podcast with J Hawkes:

#1 Joe looks like the NFL is serious about any players will get fined over $14,650 for unvaccinated players who break Covid-19 protocols. Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Brian Arians is said that he will fine a player on the spot if that player is breaking protocols or not wearing a mask.

#2 There was also questions as to the policy was it from the Buccaneers or was it from the NFL and Arians said “NFL policy, League rules.” Brian McCarthy who is the league spokesman said that it was a league policy. Violating the policy comes with a big price tag.

#3 Speaking of league enforcement Minnesota Vikings offensive line coach Rick Dennison is out as of now because he is refusing to get the vaccine. The Vikings said they were still in talks with Dennison about getting the vaccine and made clear to Dennison about league’s Covid-19 protocols policy.

#4 You got respect a guy like Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott who says he’s all in and want to play as much of the pre season and also said his dislocated right ankle is feeling much better which he injured last October. Prescott said he wants to get out there and get some reps before facing the real deal.

#5 Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Pat Mahomes is coming off season turf toe surgery and says he’s worked on a lot of things in the off season to get ready for three day camp and he’s been running, throwing, and doing his everyday routine.
