Well one thing we've learned the past few years is rules only matter if someone is willing to enforce them with consequences. The NFL could easily claim extenuating circumstances.
Question: who conducts team Covid tests and who controls reporting of results? Is it fully independent of the teams?
I'm not suggesting that Bill Belichick would bury positive Covid results.....buuuuuuut, could he do it?
I can't believe they still haven't made a decision. I get the sense the league is going to plow ahead and are crossing their fingers there's no more positive tests. Is that safe?
Looks like they are moving forward despite the Covid positives among their athletes. I assume some will be on TV. If you have ESPN3/Plus you can get all the games. First three Wed/Thu, next three Sat. Alternating weeks away then home. #UBHornsUp!
Bills on in Boston third week in a row. Maybe we'll pick up some frontrunner fans? Story in the Globe today says Red Sox TV ratings down 54% this year.
Obviously if a game does not impact playoff seeding it probably wouldn't be made up. It makes more sense to pause the season a few weeks to get this outbreak under control. Maybe even lob off a few games, from 16 to 14 or 12.
