McDermott backs Josh Allen, Bills camp position battles, the NFL has a COVID scare, MLB Notes plus LUKA ain't no "bitch ass white boy"!
Join Carl Falk for 'Falkin' Around', as Carl begins this week looking at the recent COVID scare in the NFL (00:54 - 11:56). The tests may have been 'false positives', but the NFL's reaction gives us a look at how things may go down in the regular season, should an actual outbreak occur.
How about Earl Thomas? (11:57 - 20:52) The Ravens cut him loose, as his off-the-field problems became very much on the field, and in camp.
Sean McDermott came out in support of Josh Allen (20:53 - 27:03), and compared him to Donovan McNabb and Cam Newton, two QB's who followed a similiar start, and worked with McDermott. But does this just add to the pressure facing Allen?
Bills camp notes: The Wide Receiver position (27:04 - 31:23) has a new face in the battle for the 4th receiver role... Brandon Beane (31:24 - 34:44) has a good history with picking in the later rounds of the NFL Draft... and Carl looks at the position battles in camp (34:45 - 36:56) namely at Fullback, Tight End and Defensive End.

The Mets had a positive case of Coronavirus this week (38:09 - 40:07), but Carl thinks it's the least of their problems...
MLB notes - The San Diego Padres (40:08 - 42:42) are a team to watch this year, and not just because Fernando Tatis Jr. broke an "unwritten rule"... Pitching injuries (42:43 - 45:16) continue to mount around MLB, including James Paxton of the Yankees... The Reds (45:17 - 47:03) are a dark horse in the National League, thanks to two of the best starting pitchers in baseball... and what's not to love about Freddie Freeman? (47:04 - 48:51)
Carl looks at the NBA, and the emergence of Luka Doncic (48:52 - 56:21) as a primetime player in the playoffs. Carl breaks down his spot, and looks back at the draft that led to him becoming a Maverick. Plus, the Lakers (56:22 - 58:20) are just as good as everyone thought they'd be... maybe even better than that.
Dustin Johnson (58:21 - 59:17) picks up another PGA tour win - is he on a path to the Hall of Fame?
And finally, Carl talks High School Sports (59:18 - 1:02:43) and the decision in NYS to have football teams practice, but not actually play games...
