Well don't really care if you disagree plus network ratings on games means nothing to me. Announce the game mix in commentary but don't talk through plays. Your not bigger than the game.
But if I want to know his 40 time I may seek you out. [Reply]

1. Participation is entirely voluntary. Don't want to play, fine sit out. Your contract is on pause, but either you don't get paid or get paid a subsidence wage.
2. Define a bubble that includes everyone who has close contact with the show. Players, coaches, refs, film crews, production people, owners, media that have contact with players/coaches, etc. The bubble also includes their tribe: wife/gf/bf/children/special exceptions.
3. Anyone who wants to enter the bubble must wear a tracking device. Also to enter the bubble requires a 2 week isolation lockdown prior to entering the bubble. During the lockdown they see no one but people in their tribe. Sit in your dwelling and have anything needed delivered. Anything that is delivered is disinfected before entering the isolation lockdown. Any tribes with individuals showing symptoms don't enter the bubble.
4. Those passing through isolation lockdown are eligible to enter the bubble. The bubble has 32+ sub-bubbles one for each team, plus any additional sub-bubbles for refs, media etc. But since every sub-bubble is COVID free, it is okay to mix all of the sub-bubbles together.
5. Every sub-bubble is self-sustaining. It has doctors, cooks, teachers, and other basic services. Any material good that enters the bubble is disinfected before entering.
5. People inside the bubble (from July through early February) need to receive hardship pay if they make below some threshold. Maybe 50% bonus for those making under $200K, with the percent ramping down to 0% if you make more than $500K.
6. Anyone can leave the bubble at any time. Once you step out, if you want to re-enter you go into isolation lockdown again. Anyone detaching their tracking device is assumed to have left the bubble. No exceptions.
7. The NFL offsets the cost of this in two ways. 1. Would you not watch "Life inside the bubble?" Best reality show ever. I promise. 2. By fall, all programming will be 6 months old. The NFL would be the only new programming anywhere. People would watch like mad.
Big data and A.I. can pull this off easily and cheaply. But, and this is a big but........ There is going to be some seriously deep personal data being collected. Once they have it, its forever. Even if you built the best lock box ever created, its still possible to get compromised, used by someone or another entity for reasons other than health. [Reply]

You are on your own on this, because Romo is literally the best analyst in football right now. [Reply]
