Saints team captains have imposed several COVID-related guidelines on the team for the rest of the playoffs (1 Viewer)

This is from a paywall site from Jeff Duncan at that-who I know this board loves-, so I won't quote the whole article. But this is a pretty important tidbit for people who wake up everyday sweating about a "Saints player tests positive for COVID"

To underscore the importance of the month ahead, Saints team captains have imposed several COVID-related guidelines on the team for the rest of the playoffs. In lieu of a bubble, the players have instead agreed to several restrictions to their personal lives, like a ban on dining out and in-home visits from outsiders.

I personally wanted a bubble and still do, but I'm glad the team captains at least imposed some strict rules.

Can’t nix it. It’s more like a pact or agreement. Plus, it’s what they should be doing anyway

This is Drews Last Chance.

Team captains want EVERYONE to understand this and be 100% for gameday.

People have "nixed" the media altogether due to paysites and such. And if not for the Saints, I'd have "nixed" the current-day NFL by now.

But it's nice to see the title of team captain means something to some team out there. Might as well be our Saints!

can we have some banner on thread posts that indicates if a thread is chill or brain melting or somewhere in between?
i saw "captains" and "covid" and had a cute little heart attack before my brain read the whole thing

Great news. This is what I've been concerned about all along.

You can't nix this. This is basically what we should all be doing.

THE NFLPA can say what a player can or can't do that's legal in their every day lives? NFLPA: Players must dine out lol

Lol this. Another title could be, "Team Captains Agree To Try Not To Get Covid".

Did Lawn Mower Dave suggest this?

The NFLPA was they couldn’t be fined or disciplined for not participating in a bubble.
What they do own their own without penalty, doesn’t matter.

So do you really expect the single players to refrain from relieving their stress during this playoff run. Heck I’m worried this may give those guys an incentive to throw games. Lol

Deep down... I just know that somehow the NFL will find a way to take away a draft pick for this.
