NFL Facilities officially close down 6pm Wednesday

Saquads26 : 3/24/2020 9:24 pm
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sent a memo to clubs tonight, saying all club facilities will close at 6 p.m. Wednesday, with limited exceptions, per sources. The league will reassess April 8 with advice from experts.

So NFL teams, like many others, will now #stayathome.

Goodell is insane.

The draft can be moved back 2 weeks to a month with minimal impact.
I can also be moved back two weeks

Two weeks from now. No reason to do it right now.
Why move the draft back? They can do it over Slack

Or conference call if they need to. Who cares about the show? Just get it over with. Better having rookies with playbooks, etc for an additional month.

By the way, anyone want to bet the “limited exceptions” for facilities access include all football personnel? I find it hard to believe coaches and GM’s will stop going to the building at this point. Those coaches live insanely unhealthy lives under normal conditions, what’s different now? Virus isn’t gonna get them while they’re watching tape in a dark room 25 hours a day.
Hopefully Dave is properly set up back at his home

With necessary telecommunication equipment to work with his staff, ownership, and coaches.
Its the right call

Both from a public health standpoint and from a competitive balance standpoint. It puts all 32 teams on an even keel.
