That could be 1 week from the date or 3 weeks. Yep. Will any players try to get Covid before the season starts so they don't miss three weeks? I sure hope not, but we're living in the stupidest timeline.

It’s football...many people are going to be in that proximity and teams will quickly be out of players should someone be positive. I’m also not sure the 6’ rule should apply outdoors. I really don’t see how this happens...particularly with fans. yea think of a linebacker or running back? They’d be heavy contact with front 7 on both teams as well as pass catchers/secondary.
LabattBlue Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 I was reading earlier about NBA players caught sneaking out of the bubble at WDW. Just forget sports for 2020.
Doc Posted July 16, 2020 Posted July 16, 2020 There needs to be some skin in the game for players, like if you test positive and it was because you deviated from the guidelines, you don't get paid. And then further penalties if you infect others because of your behavior. 1 1

They could probably get a 12 game season that way. Letting fans in the stadium should be decided by State/local health departments — which is how they’re handling that so far. Playing every other week is not a bad idea. Gives you time to test and know.

You can justify the full TV payment by stretching the season. You still pay players what their contact says. Doesn't matter over how many weeks. Plus an extra week makes it more likely you'll catch a player developing symptoms before they play another game. That'll reduce the spread.

I feel that if we start as it’s scheduled, things will get shut down and might not restart for awhile, if at all. If we give it some time, maybe aloe can find a vaccine and we can salvage something. 1

Not everyone has a WFH option and are usually making way less than NFL minimum salaries. Edited July 17, 2020 by SCBills 1

Players with incentive based contracts 2. Players on the bubble who are only going to be rostered because of the Covid 19 cases

I don't have a high opinion of Chao. He's got some good analogies in here. I agree with him that banning jersey swaps is silly, asking players to mask before meeting up after the game makes sense. Where I don't understand his assessment is in talking about the contacts during game play as "tackling a player and coming into direct contact for a brief period of time". Sometimes same DB is assigned to cover the same WR all game. The OL is going against the same DL and LB all game, and often those are the same players facing off. So each contact may be brief, but the sum of the contacts adds up. Or so it seems to me.
