Midnight, August 21, 2019. A hooded figure strolls confidently through the empty Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts. The field turf is pristine, at least for a preseason game. The figure is holding a shovel and a rake. This is his chance to alter the course of the NFL. He’s familiar with “bending the rules.” This will be no different. Cam Newton, the only one the figure has never vanquished, will be right on this spot in less than 24 hours. It’d be a real shame if he were to misstep. The figure, happy with his work, stalks off the field and returns the lawn maintenance tools to the groundskeeper’s office.
