I was thinking 12, you schedule a bye every month and then shift them around as needed. Also lol, they can’t get in shape for a 16 game season either if they have to cancel every practice.

1) They have the resources to pull off a league wide bubble. They have all the money in the world, which is exactly the problem. They got greedy and thought they could pull off the season while ignoring the pandemic and ramping up attendance. Now they’re scrambling to control variables they should’ve accounted for MONTHS ago.
2) Yeah, at least copy the MLB model of a bubble for each team. It’s the only way you’re going to ensure some degree of safety AND play out the whole season.
