Oh for sure...but i'm assuming that the money juggernaut the NFL is, will be able to deal with all constraints imposed on them by authorities.

Whether it be everyone who will be in that stadium on gameday has to to test on wednesday and be cleared as negative by Saturday (doable now) and be in a hotel/facility from that testing day forward to game completion. Maybe limit where games are played to a dozen sites or so. Or maybe two sites per division and structure games to be played saturday and sunday if the ncaa isnt going to be going.


They just have so many more resources that other leagues dont (sans the NBA) and dont rely on in game attendance nearly s much as others...that they will find a way. They would own the airwaves with the most ridiculous ratings ever if it gets to that point.

Its funny though because usually training camp starts in late July and Im not convinced that will be doable safely at this point. Not sure how that affects things down the line. Maybe a 12 game schedule? Its why i dont believe we see NHL hockey again until very late this calendar year, if at all.

All guesses at this point cause thats all anyone has.
