NY and NJ have a 14 day quarantine for people entering their state. Are they making an exception for teams?

Interesting point.

My work is sending me to NY sunday and the quarantine is definitely an issue. Not sure how that would work for NFL teams coming from states on the quarantine list like NC.

Why? Is there no one there that can do what you do?

There are 4 people in my company who do what I do. One is in his 70's in Florida and doesn't travel owing to health issues, one is in the process of switching roles within the company and is basically only still doing the role I do while a new guy is being trained to take his place, and the fourth is based out of St Louis and covers things west of there. Also the four of us have defined geographic regions and it's my region anyway.

Haha remember how we thought this would fall off in the summer and we'd worry about a second wave in the fall.

At this rate I'd be surprised if we have a season come September. poo might look really bleak by then.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
