I’m sure @GunnerBill is ashamed that our team has to work in such meager conditions! EDIT: Wait! I don’t see the Kegerator! Can you properly do a draft without that? My setup is almost identical @Augie.... honest The bit I am more interested in is will he still wear a suit. I had to brief a cabinet minister on video conference earlier this week and I couldn't bring myself to put a suit on at home for a video call. I went open neck shirt instead.

Why can’t Beane, McD, the other scouts sit at OBD and collaborate? They can sit 20 feet apart in that draft room from last year. This hits home how nonsensical this whole thing is. F&@$!, , take their temperatures when they walk in the room. Ridiculous. As someone who knows multiple people who have lost people to the virus. I can say beyond any doubt, it is not ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I work from home normally and have 4 (3+ I keep my laptop open as another screen) Draft night is usually a 4 screen scenario for me too. The TV has the live coverage, I have one laptop that just has my draftboard so I can record the guys coming off. I have another laptop I use to post on here and then my phone is buzzing almost constantly through the first round. Days 2 and 3 less activity on my phone tbh because most of my NFL fan friends are not draft nerds like me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t leave unless essential business. This is considered business that can be done remotely. beyond this standardizing to a worst case scenario meant even if the lockdown got more restrictive they’d be prepared and the playing field level. if was the right move to ensure the draft would go on.

Jumpsuit Jim Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 I dunno. A drop ceiling without Christmas tree lights strung through it seems like a waste.

TroutDog Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 OBL has a guest on yesterday or the day before who mentioned how the Bills were ahead of most others in preparing for this. If I recall correctly, they were planning on this two weeks before closures were announced and setting up their homes. This leadership group is light years ahead of anything we’ve had in the last 20 years. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Punching Bag Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 It is funny that all of these houses were upgraded in states with only "essential" people allowed to travel but they cannot travel to stadium where all of this work can be done with workmen appropriate distances apart. It shows NFL cares more about appearance than the actual rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted April 23, 2020 Share Posted April 23, 2020 Every time I see that video of Gronkowski shoulder slamming Tre it pisses me off. I still cannot believe that Gronkowski was not suspended for at least 5 games. I’m also expect a slap on the wrist for them video taping. Still waiting for that penalty to drop.

Could the bills have gone to OBD and taken the precautions of standing apart and wearing masks, probably, but that may not have been an option for every team so I think they just wanted it consistent across the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
