Sean Payton said he suggested the idea of quarantining 50,000 Saints fans to create a scientifically-safe home-field advantage in the Superdome. … Doesn’t sound like he’ll get his wish, but those wheels are always turning.

Sean Payton is an absolute national treasure. He really thinks 50,000 fans are going to be able to quarantine ahead of the Sunday game?
I love bold plans, but that’s even too bold for my blood.

How the hell would this even be possible? How would you convince 50,000 people to quarantine for a football game and then make sure they actually all do it?
It’s just not possible at all.

I love the plan from Payton. Great enthusiasm. Can’t get enough of that kind of energy. It’s also absolutely not going to happen.
