I think it is systematically impossible for either of these sports to have bubbles like the NBA has provided.

Thought I read that the Marlins had an additional 4 players test positive today.

Probably yes due to a 17 week schedule and the number of players/staff involved. But without a bubble the season won’t happen.

Wild World of Disney can accomodate the amount of games with the amount of courts they have on site.  You can't find a centralized site anywhere in the country where you can concurrently run 6-7 games, twice a Sunday......let alone a venue that can accomodate roughly 3,000 people that meets the a formentioned logistical demand.  Baseball would probably be a bit easier than Football.

they play on saturday, sunday, monday, and thursday. two afternoon and two evening games each weekend day with two apiece on monday and thursday makes a full schedule with two fields.

or they could have two or three sites with limited travel between them

the logistics aren't the issue. people just don't want to be stuck in a bubble for 4+ months. i don't blame them, but having a conventional season is irresponsible.

[Erbes]

these are some of the wealthiest organizations in the world. they can figure out a bubble. they just don't want to.

[the original michael]

There’s no way one venue can House the NFL. They’ll have to split it up into four bubbles

Just combine the AFC NFC divisions into four bubbles
AFC East and west, etc.

play each team twice for a 14 game schedule

[Erbes]

nfl could easily do bubbles in texas, CA, florida using pro stadiums and college stadiums. but its hard coordination work and they don't want to do it.

[the original michael]

Or even a 10 game season ... 2x game vs divisional opp and 1 vs counter conference opponents

If they don’t , they are bound to lose a lot of money and we know how much these guys care about money!

Your run into broadcasting issues with NCAAF.  Saturday games in the NFL don't come into play until the NCAA is over.  The coordination amongst the two entities would be tough as NCAAF is on the fence as well.  Even if you figure out the media issues you're going to have NCAAF running games against the NFL which is going to be bad for business for both parties.

Logistics are definitley an issue, but you're right with the bubble for 4+ months.  I wouldn't want to do that.

[the original michael]

I'd say there is a .0001% chance we see a 17 week season.

it just comes down to people thinking this virus is going to magically go away in a few months. that was this country's mindset in february and it continues to be our mindset in july. 'oh just stay inside for a month and it'll go away'. nahhhhhh. the fact that we're even trying to play sports with cases and deaths still rising just shows how dumb this country is/ how little value rich people not only think of the middle class, but also their players.

[the original michael]

This isn't going away soon. Work just announced the office will be closed until 12/31/2020 with a goal of July 2021.

[Erbes]

yeah we aren't going back until after busy next year so like april at the earliest

[JR]

There could be like 4-5 spots where they play. And are in a bubble and only tea ale to the 4-5 spots. It’s possible a little harder because of the NFL schedule but possible.

[Von]

Mets Sox tonight is going to be a slugfest.

[Von]

I am throwing as many Mets and Red Sox batters as humanly possible on my FanDuel 7:30 Express slate.
