    The NFL is not going into a bubble, so are they fucking this up too? 

    shorting the season with no inter-conference games would have solved the less travel.. Domes in Dallas, Atlanta, Indy & Houston could have hub'd bubbles to play in.. Same as Zona, Vegas & LA? 

     Thanks for the second thought? or is that the 5th?

    Not sure how it would work if the NFL went into a "bubble".  How many  bubbles, i.e.  stadiums would they need to use?  The NHL is using just 2 arenas...both in Canada at Toronto and in Edmonton.     I do think a "dome" would be necessary....as...you would need  16 games per week...and that many in one or two stadiums would not work  in an outdoor, grass stadium.  They would get torn up too badly.  

    The following cities have NFL Domes:   Atlanta,   Indy, Detroit, Minnesota, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, LA now,  Las Vegas now,  ...and maybe Seattle? (is that a dome?)  

    Maybe pick  4 locations....assigning two divisions to each locale based on the current schedule  (and, maybe giving no one "home field" "

    How about:   AFC North plays the NFC East this year....put them all in Indy (or to Detroit or  Minn.)

    AFC South plays  NFC North......put them in Atlanta

    The NFC South plays the AFC West  ....put them in Dallas

    NFC West plays AFCE.....put them in like  Las Vegas or Houston

    With each divisions  6 game interdivision round robin,  and the 4 games they play vs. the teams from the other conf.   that would give you 10 games.

    UNLESS you want to do the same, except putting the AFC or NFC conferences that play each other in one location. 

    The AFC North plays the AFC South this year.....put those divisions in Atlanta?

    AFCW plays AFCE.......put them in Dallas? 

    NFC North plays NFC South.  Put them in Indy?

    NFCW plays NFCE.   Put them in Vegas?

    There, again, you have almost your entire  Conference schedule in one place.   10 games.   Then you just have to figure out what to do with the games vs. the other Conf.....and that one straggler interconf. game. 

    Bubble those up as well....using the formula above for the 4 games?  Maybe use different domes.

    Someone came up with a novel idea for the NFL to "go to the bubble". (Sounds like a football version of 'Going to the mattresses')

    In this hypothetical, four teams would go to one location, a "bubble". They would play each other for three weeks, then leave that "bubble" and return home to quarantine for two weeks. Then they would go to a new location for three more weeks with three more teams. Rinse, repeat.

    Or, see my scheme above.  They would be in a bubble of 8 teams for 10 weeks for perhaps all Conf. games but one.    Then they could "re-bubble" when they go to play the other conference.

    Oh the lengths we will go for sports in particular football.

    I don't know.....it took me all of 5 minutes to figure the above out.    If the NFL really needed to do it,  they could figure it out easily.  They have high priced guys that can do that.   To get everything down logistically may take a bit longer than the 5 minutes I spent. 

    Let's put it this way....it would be better likely than to have a situation like baseball has now where so many games are having to be postponed because they lack the ability to quarantine that it may jeopardize the season.

    I was looking at the big picture of everything going on in all sports football might have the toughest road to get a season in.

    Not if they are not stupid about it.    But, OK, it may be more difficult....simply because of the size of the rosters.    Sure, it is easier to control a roster of like 15  basketball players than ...whatever,  55+?  the NFL rosters are going to be.  

    It would NOT surprise me if the situation that baseball is facing now  with so many guys testing positive  would not be doubled...simply because of the roster sizes and .....let's face it, sorry, but the average  maturity level of football players is far less than the average baseball player.  It is not atypical that an MLB player does not hit the big leagues until they are 24-25 years old.    Football players hit the bigs at 21-22.  (even less for NBA...but their much smaller rosters make things more controllable).

    your idea would work & it's been discussed on reddit for a while now...maybe Goodell should have hired you as part of his attorney group? take the 3 piece suit as Roger's first gift...

    QUESTION OF THE DAY Nano Nano: NaNO? NaYes? Why or Why Not ...

  • Here is this week's survey.    Give your opinions or answers:

    1.  Which positions on the Browns will be  "up for grabs", i.e. where will there be competition for the starting jobs?

    2. Cal   stated in a prior thread that  The Scottish Hammer  will be a "secret weapon".....which other player on the Browns do you think will prove to be a Secret Weapon, either on offense or defense?

    3. Pro Football Focus ranked the Browns Running Back Corps as the #1  unit in the NFL.   What say you to that? 

    4. It is speculated that Antonio Brown may sign with the Baltimore Ravens and be eligible to play for them after an 8 game suspension.   Do you think he would work out with them?

    5. Which NFL player...non Browns.....do you think will Surprise the league and come out and have a Superstar Season, though he may not be expected to. 

    6. What do you think about the different approaches that have been taken by the NBA (and NHL) being in their "Bubble", and MLB which did not "Bubble", and is now being thrown into chaos?

    A TE.  Made a great TD catch last season against the Steelers.  I think the kid has game.  One of those smart Princeton guys.
