I removed the part about spending time around pro athletes (before I saw you replied) because I thought it came off rather unfair and personal. (Partly because I having a lot of experience in this arena and also because I thought it was an unnecessary comment that could come across in a way not intended.) But since I neither claimed that all players would be on best behavior, nor am naive, I'll leave it at that so as to avoid being getting in trouble with the mods.I actually spent a lot of time with Colorado Rockies players when I lived out in Denver working at the bars downtown. Some Bronco’s players as well.
(I see you edited the part about me not having spent a lot of time around pro athletes and now this above sentence makes me sound like a bragger)
But you need 100% compliance in this situation. You cant have individuals breaking quarantine to go out and party. It doesn’t matter what the 48 homebody’s do when 4 players that cant go without going to the club for 3 months are doing what they’re not supposed to be doing. If you think all 2,000 NFL players/personnel/coaches etc. are going to be on their best behavior without a strict bubble, then you’re being a little naive.
Just 1 player with urges could potentially ruin it all.
Ha. In a less potentially tense disagreement, no way am I giving up either of the Giants' SB titles. Two Patriots losses needs to stay. I might be willing to trade one of the Yankees' titles for a Knicks championship, however.I’d trade 1 of the Giants recent SB titles, and 2 of the Yankees World Series titles for 1 Rangers cup, and 1 Knicks title.

NFL would never do a bubble season. MLB would have if they didn’t have other disputes with the owners and how much they would get paid.
NFL just have more chaotic personalities. How many football players have been caught having party’s during quarantine? Elliot and Prescott had a huge house party in April right in the middle of things really getting bad and had no remorse. You’d have a “Magic City Wings” story out of the NFL like every night in a bubble.
There’s also no city that they could go to where there would be enough football stadiums to accommodate them. I can’t imagine the NFLPA allowing the league to have their players in High School fields. The College fields will be used by those teams. It just wouldnt work. I dont see the NFL season happening. And personally I think if theres no NFL season, people that have been pro-stay at home/quarantine will question why its being done. Football fans are crazy. You take it away from them for an entire season? It’ll get nasty
You can’t say footballs fans are crazy when people are flying to COVID capital to get a dole whip
I can say both are
Cards/Brewers are playing tomorrow, and 2 games on Sunday.
Marlins will make their games up in August now that the 7 inning double headers are approved.
With the NFL, you’re talking 2,500 moving pieces. That’s a lot of kids to babysit in a bubble. I just don’t think players would approve a bubble. NBA, NHL, MLB are pretty much every day sports. For the most part the NFL you have 6 days off a week. Who wants to be in charge of making sure the NFL players aren’t sneaking out of the bubble on off days?
Not the thread to discuss baseball itself. Conversion on prospective bubble format is fine.So at what point does the game not become the game anymore? Runner on second, 7 innings...whats next? 2 outs per inning? Foul on strike 3 is an out? They are grasping at straws for whats essentially an exhibition season to begin with. Its clear they could care less if the players get sick,die or infect others...too much money at stake. Manfried has been terrible.
I haven’t seen a single Disney commercial in months here in Tampa. Usually we get them almost every other commercial break on almost every channel. Universal just started commercials a couple weeks ago (the come back to UO campaign) but even those have died off significantly this week.If Disney were trying to advertise their parks and wanting people to come down and visit, the NBA games on ESPN/ABC would be the time to do it, especially given they’re playing on Disney property. I havent seen a single Disney Parks commercial or advertisement tonight. Usually when theyre hurting for guests, they always air ad’s during NBA games on their channels

Racing, both nascar and indycar have been doing just fine. They've had one positive and within a week he had the two negatives. I haven't heard about any others testing. It again is about the people involved being responsible just as much as the bubble. There's plenty of MLB teams were there's been no issue so hopefully a few bad decisions don't ruin it for everyone. But the single bubbles just are feasible for an entire season of any sport.
