An NBA team has 12 players, by far the smallest amount on a major team sport. Much easier logistically.
This is exactly it. Much more of a manageable situation. I wonder if the NFL has thought about 4 bubbles in the United States. Perhaps something like California, Texas, Florida, and New York. 8 teams per bubble...winners of Cali and Texas play each other, winners of Florida and New York play each other. Winner of those plays in the super bowl?
Based on how things have gone so far, it doesn't seem like a lot of creative thinking has occurred haha
its funny that you picked the 4 of the worst states for outbreaks of covid as your bubble states. =)
Yeahhhhhhhhh defintely put that together as I was typing so that would be why. Purely example of course as an idea on how to bubble and create a solution. Wouldnt really matter where the bubble is because there will be no fans
I have my doubts that a bubble would work for the nfl, you are talking about 53 man rosters and coaching staffs and support personnel of likely nearly that many again.
Well yeah, there's going to be doubts with whatever is presented...I just think it would work better than how a normal season is structured which seems to be how they're moving forward. There's no perfect solution with 53 guys and a contact sport, but that doesn't mean you cant try an alternative
i just think the facilities requirements for football are so much greater than the other sports it would be much harder to find 1 location that could accommodate 8 NFL teams in a controlled area.
not saying it couldnt be done or shouldnt be tried, just that the logistics of a bubble of that scope and size is monumentally greater than that of the NBA.
No disagreements there. They must, however, come up with a strategy/theory that could work, and then establish logistics and procedures after that. A controlled area is the way to go IMO...how it gets done and if it gets done is up to Roger as he's getting $40MM a year in compensation for a reason

I would guess they have a plan in place, just dont want to release the details to soon in case something happens prior to week 1 that would force them to change their plan and make them look unprepared.
My guess is the NFL will use a bubble in 2021.
Some form of 8 rotational bubbles, that start with division opponents.
From all that I have a read, an rNA vaccine, with necessary efficacy rate won't be in place by 2022.
There is a long way to go before I think we declare anyone a success yet. All things considered I think MLB is doing better than expected. 30 players on each team, plus large coaching and training staffs. 28 of the 30 teams have not had an issue. MLB has also done a really great job of creating a regular game experience. The NBA seems like the NBA summer league. Hopefully, the MLB teams who have been clean will learn from those who have had issues and will have a successful remainder of the season.
