That's right about the bridge, forgot about that. Really close to the HHH Dome, had to be jarring for fans at the game that had just crossed the same bridge.
Whomever was in his ear was providing bad intel.
Why do they need to add an 8th play-off team? Just seed by by winning %. This isn't that complicated.
Make up for the money lost due to the cancelled game? I don't know. Seems odd.
What $ lost? ESPN's ratings on Monday were probably higher than any game all year. I doubt they'll ask for any adjustment. As for the Bengals, the league can surely make them whole if they give fans a refund. I doubt they actually alter the play-offs this late in the game.
It was just a guess. Did ESPN still run commercials? I know they did for a little while, just don't remember if they did through when SportsCenter was supposed to air.
Something is not adding up with an 8th team or I'm just not getting it. If the Top 2 got byes, then it would be:
True. I haven't seen details. I can't imagine giving anyone a buy to the Championship game, so you'd have to add a round and have #5/8 and #6/7 play to get down to 6.
It would be 8 teams, no byes.
The original article mentioned Top 2 in each conference would get byes. It has since been updated, there's no mention of an 8th playoff team even.
Seems like the solution will be a disadvantage to the Bengals.
