Next, Scott talks about former Utah quarterback and current NFL quarterback Alex Smith who made a miraculous comeback from a terrible leg injury and played in his first game last week.

We are all NFL this week on Helmets Off.  First, Scott talks about the biggest story in the NFL, which is the first game postponement of the season due to players testing positive for COVID-19. He talks about this could snowball and impact the rest of the season, because the NFL schedule is a very large, very complicated puzzle. He also talks about how having games postponed like this could throw off guys and their routine, he said it would have likely thrown him off. The NFLPA has asked that all fields be changed to natural grass, not turf. Scott 100% supports this idea. He believes if the NFL really wants to get serious about player safety, which they say they do, they MUST change to all natural grass as soon as possible.

NFL Football is finally back. Scott Mitchell, former NFL quarterback gives his week 1 takeaways. From Tom Brady being lackluster for former Utah Football RB Zack Moss' touchdown. All in all, we are just happy football is back. Next, Scott discusses the disaster that is Pac-12 football. The Big Ten was the only other conference to move their football season to spring, but they have since reversed course. Now, the Pac-12 has a lot to figure out. Scott explains the chaos, and tries to come up with a solution. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

The Pac-12 already had an image problem before they decided to cancel fall football along with the Big Ten, now, the problem will grow. Not playing a season when other conferences are will hurt their image and their name, according to Scott, especially since the College Football Playoff is happening and the Rose Bowl is one of the featured games.  Since we don't have Utah Utes football to watch, Scott talks about which defensive Ute he is most excited to watch in the NFL this season. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

The Pac-12 and the Big Ten pulled the plug on fall sports, including football, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Both conferences said there is a possibility of spring football. Scott explains why is initial reaction to that was that it will never work but he then explains how he thought it through and that it might benefit some teams - including the University of Utah Utes.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Today's episode of Helmets Off with Scott Mitchell is all about what sports leagues will look like during the time of the COVID-19 pandemic.  First - The NBA.  In the Orlando Bubble, the league had zero positive coronavirus tests and starts games this week. They are a true model for what a comeback should look like. Next - The NFL No one really knows for sure how the NFL season will look other than certain teams playing with zero fans and others requiring social distancing and face coverings.  Finally - College Football Maybe the league with the most at stake. Some conferences announced they will play conference-only schedules and delay the start, while others are in wait and see mode. Scott gives his thoughts on what sports may look like this season and what changes may carry over and become "normal". See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

The Washington NFL announced they would be changing their name due to it being a racial slur. Scott offers his thoughts.  The Big Ten and the Pac-12 announced they would only be playing conference football schedules in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Other conferences may follow suit if there is even a season at all.  The switch to the conference only schedules really hurts independent teams like BYU who lost 5 games in two days from their 2020 slate.  Scott offers his perspective on what the 2020 college football season may look like and provides some silver lining about things that may change for the better in college football.  See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Tennessee tried to hire Greg Schiano (Rutgers, Penn State, Tampa Bay, Ohio State) as head coach.  The students freaked out and accused him of covering up Jerry Sandusky's crimes.   Helmets Off host Scott Mitchell talks about how Tennesse should not have bowed to student demands.  Social media is killing aspects of our society.   There's something similar with Roy Moore, candidate for US Senate from Alabama.  The allegations are different, but they're still just allegations.  Is it right to end people's careers over things like this?

Helmets Off host Scott Mitchell talks about a number of subjects He cheered for the LA Dodgers, but is glad the Houston Astros won the World Series.

Dak Prescott thinks he is worth $40 million. Scott recalls the first year of NFL Free Agency when the salary cap per team was $32 million. That means the team had to spread $32 million across the ENTIRE TEAM. Scott doesn’t think Dak Prescott is worth $40 million. He isn’t even a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. We have a list of quarterbacks worth $40 million dollars: Tom Brady, Russell Wilson, Aaron Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes. Dak Prescott is not on the list. He should have took the offer of $30 million.

Believe it or not there are some really smart Buffalo Bills fans. The NFL has granted some money to a group of mathematicians in order to help them figure out the unfair scheduling in the NFL. The mathematicians were tired of the Bills playing teams after a bye week or Thursday game. The group of researchers said this is one of the most complicated problems they have ever faced.
