That is both too sensible and cares about competitive integrity too much instead of focusing on revenue so the league will just ignore it.

Good deal.

While I don't believe COVID is the magic bullet/death sentence foisted upon us by the CDC and the media, I'm glad for the league's handling of it.

I'm sure that will be responsibly reported by the media...

I watched the end of the Pats/Chiefs AFC title game last night and the ticker had something along the lines of "Patriots QB Cam Newton has tested positive Covid 19 along with KC practice squad QB"

LOL... er. shouldn't they have to do best of 3? I mean, as I recall, it's equally likely to return a false neg as a false pos. Erring on the side of "oh thank God we can play!" is not the best policy for containing spread and (to the extent possible) extending this misbegotten season. Err on the side of caution and give him a best-of-three re-re-test.
