Close to stupidest thing I’ve ever heard sequestering them near the Quarter and Bourbon Street. Hey Coach, might want to take them OUTSIDE the city!

This. Good idea but bad execution for choosing a hotel within shouting distance of the FQ.

I imagine players who choose to stay at the hotel won't be allowed to just freely leave the hotel to go sight see the FQ.

Like wearing 7/8ths of a condom

Statistically speaking, most guys are using 5/8ths of the condom at most.

I consider that a style choice - like baggy jeans

As long as they handle it properly, being where they are right now is fine. There are restaurants that can be booked for the team or cater.

Ummm...they all live in the New Orleans area...it is not like they can't leave their house & get to those areas. I think if they choose to stay in the hotel, they know the expectations of them & will abide by it. The ones who don't intend to abide by it will probably not choose to stay there.

The trouble is the team will have to be around other teams eventually, and if brees gets it later in the year it could ruin the season. Though i guess we should worry about that if and when that happens.

Good point Corey. And that's kinda the SB question for every team. If their star QB goes down or defensive stars go down in the latter part of the season, is that team's SB chances over. If this season actually plays out, my guess is that it will be determined by attrition, or lack of

Need everyone of the players and staff to be on board. The bubble can get contaminated and be rendered useless if there’s a few folks who test positive

I agree. Being locked up together only worsens things when the bubble does what bubble’s do. They burst.
