Texas is already allowing fans to attend professional sports (even though there's not really sports to attend). If the NFL defers to states, could this lead to the most unbalanced home-field advantage in NFL history? Say every Cowboys home game they are allowed 50/75% capacity, whereas the Giants are forced to go fanless every week. I think the NFL will make a decision based on fairness, but it would definitely be an interesting story.
The NFL won't defer to the states. It'll be all 32 or nothing.

Is it too much for me to request that questions about what the league is doing with COVID and how they will handle games this season be ignored? When the league has answers for us, I'm sure we'll hear from them. Until then, those questions are just wasting time and space.
Some of the best questions in Inbox right now don't have an answer. The NFL and NFLPA are still working through a lot of these issues.

Wes, you said you get why Paul Hornung's No. 5 is not retired. Can you elaborate as to why it never became official?
For a question like this, we need to go back to the source. Cliff tackled this question during his mailbag in September 2015. Vince Lombardi announced the number had been retired but it never formally happened. One thing Cliff points out in his column is times were very different, even 40 years ago. Retired numbers weren't even recognized in the media guide until 1988. Other than Forrest Gregg passing out No. 5 a few times in the '80s, Hornung's number has been shelved in a regular-season setting.

Can't the Packers players and coaches be tested and when cleared, stay at St. Norbert during training camp as they traditionally do? They would be quarantined as long as they maintained only tested and cleared personnel between the dorms and the practice field. Unfortunately, they wouldn't be allowed to ride the kid's bikes to and from the field.
Sure, but they also could just stay at their own houses, apartments or team hotel, too. Finding the best course of action is what the Packers have to figure out.

I don't think a helmet camera will give the true picture of what Rodgers is looking at. We need contact lens cameras to see if he is looking off the safety. That would be epic.
Remember the Google glasses? Those things were wild. Just make all the players wear goggles with that technology.

Camera angles: For the preseason, any preseason I would love to see the camera behind the offense or defense. With 90 roster spots, it is nearly impossible to track individuals from the sideline view. Let's see those numbers!
That's tough to do because the major networks aren't broadcasting preseason games. The Packers, in partnership with WTMJ, handle those for the regional TV networks.

In response to Lori from Costa Rica, I got the chickenpox at age 35. Many of the neighborhood moms sent their children over to give me "get well hugs."
I wish I would've. I proposed to my wife and then got chickenpox the following day at 23 years old.

There were a couple questions/comments about fans standing at a big play. It's OK. I get it. I jump up, too. But after please sit down again and wait to jump up at the next big play. I'm older with a bad knee so I can't keep standing to try to look around the big tall guy in front of me. Thanks. And II, keep up the good work!
Thank you Ed…and all the best to your knee.

Dear Wes, do you feel the video department with player, coach and management input could develop an excellent public service video statement that supports racial injustices for game day that gives players a platform several times during pregame and game time? The Packers always seem to be trendsetters for the league and maybe be the nation. Thanks!
I'm excited to see what ideas the locker room and the organization come up with. Both Mark Murphy and LaFleur want to make sure their actions match their words, and I could definitely see a pregame video package being part of the Packers' growing commitment to social-justice reform.

Mike, I wonder if you also consider movies to be more than escapist entertainment, and a part of the fabric of our society? If not, why not? And if so, do you think all movies should contain some protest of social injustice?
Hi, I'm not Mike but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. I absolutely consider movies to be much more than escapist entertainment. The ones that matter, at least. I could name dozens of films that helped me gain a deeper understanding of an issue and provided a viewpoint I hadn't before considered. Everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion but what I've learned is don't be afraid to challenge yourself or your pre-established beliefs. That's how you grow as a human being.
