Also, this is the problem without a bubble. You have no idea what players, coaches, or staff is doing before/after games. Have no idea who they're with or if they're being reckless.

I don't see why they couldn't do a bubble if they're playing a 60 game season. That is the same amount of time as the NBA/NHL will be in the bubble.

Too many players and personnel is what I heard.

Plus, a baseball field takes up a lot more space than a basketball court or hockey rink.

They easily could have had 3 separate bubbles.

Just the parties involved didn’t want to.

I heard a conspiracy theory that they intentionally agreed on a bad plan because they wanted to look like they tried. But really had no intention of completing this season.

Not sure I buy that, but it wouldn’t shock me.

The way the schedule is set up though, they would only need 10 teams in each bubble. That is very feasible.

They just didn’t want to.

It doesn't look very promising for pro sports.

I would like to seriously debate the NFL network top 100 list.

How the heck did all those QBs end up ahead of Wentz?
Cannot say I remember much of it......who is ahead of him you think should not be? Gotta think NFL players are gonna downgrade guys who cannot stay healthy and team does as well or better without him.

Mainly Josh Allen and Tannehill. Not big on Cousins ahead of him either

Okay, got an NFL conspiracy theory for you:

With all these Patriots opting out, and chance BB now wants his top players to sit? Punt a season and get a top draft choice?

Anyone put that past the hoody?
wouldn't put it past him, but the guy is old....depends on how many more years he plans to coach.

I could see that. The next QB class is supposed to be a good one.
But if no CFB season what a mess that would be. I mean, if last college season doesn't happen, Burrow is a 5th rounder at best IMO.

Yeah, since they can't create a "bubble" like the NBA and NHL, their chances of finishing the season are already a good bit less than the NBA or NHL.

And that's if every member of every organization follows the strictest of protocols.

So, when you have dumbasses like all of those folks from the Marlins who decided to go out somewhere...

may as well save everyone the trouble and just shut it down now.
agree about the dumbasses, but seems it's really just the Marlins that have caused issues for everyone. Either their team sitting out or team that just played them. They are only team with a very high number of cases right? I guess Cards, too.

I wonder if they are overreacting some. sure, a Marlins case should cause a stop for them, but I would have thought a few or a handful might have been expected occasionally....that's why they have reserves I'd have thought.

No doubt all comes down to players behavior off the field. If they want all the money they fought to get might want to stop being selfish dumbasses off the field.

where are they going with all those fields so close in proximity (like NBA has courts), a resort type atmosphere in which to stay, where outsiders cannot get in?

for 6 out of 30 and a 20 man reserve squad? I mean it could happen but seems a bit premature.

The number is likely going to keep increasing as it did with the Marlins.

don't love any of those guys. all have flaws. But so does Wentz. Health being a major issue I'd think to other players.

Problem with MLB trying to finish the season is you can't PPD an entire series due to a positive test if you're serious about completing the season.
