If this were something that couldn't be made up, I'd assume they'd

hold the OTA indoors. Of course, looking for logic in the NFL practice rules is like looking for birdshit in a cuckoo clock.

Heard its not a good idea to use air conditioners, although I'm sure Mara can afford new filters.

Does anyone have more info on air conditioner use with this smog? I hear on TV to use them but I don't understand the logic. I always though they took the hot outside air cooled it and forced into the house. If so that just forces more smog into your house. I could be 100% wrong. Those knowledgeable please set me straight.

If you have central air, you normally have some form of split AC system with refrigerant piping connecting the outdoor condensing unit (rejects heat to outdoor) and indoor evaporator (removes heat from the air stream). There is typically no bringing outside air in on smaller residential systems. However some may have a system that brings in some outside air in which you might want to look at closing.
I wasn't aware of the indoor scheduling.

I think the rain we are having will greatly improve the air quality.

The addition of games to the regular season and the reduction of training camp and preseason games is still wrong in every way except revenue.

Most (all?) a/c units do not bring in air from the outside, they recirculate the air inside. It would be inefficient to be constantly cooling really warm air if the air in the house is already cooled. And they have air filters that can catch particulates in the air.
