a couple of questions please, first is an obvious one I guess, this will be a weekly feature and so not updated daily? second, will the "why it matters" comments be different than the "our take" comments in the news blogger? I use the news blogger every chance I get throughout the season and look for those comments from the staff already, so can I expect this feature will add more takes or just broader coverage than what's there already?
It's a trial feature we're looking at. This is the first time we've done it.
It'll be once a week. It'll be in addition to the News Blogger and Daily Email Update that are constantly updated. Sigmund and Cecil do the "our take" and Sigmund is doing this so I'd expect the commentary to be very similar.
This is more a "cliff notes" condensed version of the News Blogger and Daily Email Update. It's more for the person who's busy and can't keep up every day. Which truthfully, probably isn't this audience here as you folks are by definition more on top of it daily.
It's a very similar thing to what we do with our Training Camp Reports. Each report is 38 pages of goodness. But it's too much for a lot of people. So I'll take the 38 pages and curate and condense it down to a much shorter article for the reader who just wants the most important stuff.
This is similar.
Any other thoughts on this?
It's a ton of work for Sigmund. If it's not a value we may need to reconsider doing it.

Interesting and good read. It would be of more value if the NFL was actually going to play this year. Personally I would be slashing your content right now in anticipation of the season being shortened, delayed, or cancelled and ramping it down the road. If they do play, a lot of stuff is going to happen in a short time and later content will be much more valuable than usual. I'd want to have my content producing budget backloaded.
Hi Joe. I think it’s good and it may be counter intuitive but maybe only need to do it in offseason (or at least part of). I think your existing season content covers this pretty well already!

I like it. It is as you said, a good cliff notes to the blogger and daily which I really sift through anyways for info pertinent to me and my leagues. But try as I might, I miss more than a little and something like this to help me catch up would be great.
You could dumb it down (and make Sig less work) by just doing a summary of the important stuff. This seems like more of a weekly do over.

Hi @BassNBrew
Thanks for the feedback there.
What percent chance to you say that the NFL is able to complete at least a 10 game regular season this year?
Thanks Folks. Much appreciated.
That's hard to say. it's going to be a train wreck unless something drastic is put in place. Given the short career span of the average player and the relative short season, it would seem to me the players/coaches/owners should treat it like a 6 month military service commitment. Bring everyone in mid August and test them all. Then lock them down for 6 months. No family, no going out, nothing but football and your dorm. Players can opt out and their contract just moves back a year. Schedule games 4 games on Friday/Saturday/Sunday/Monday each week. I think they could get close to 100% revenue by doing this. Doing anything short of this and if one player ends up positive, then the whole team will be quarantined for 2 weeks. Business as usual, no chance at a 10 game season. Think out of the box and it's easily doable.
Thanks. I don't disagree and that's why I asked.
