Logical, but there was a definite time crunch, which affected both teams. Joel Send a noteboard - 29/11/2010 03:33:52 PM
I assume they don't practice more than 3 hours straight, which means the stadium can fit in at least 3 training sessions per day without issue. For example one team would practice 10am-1pm, the other 2-5pm and the first one again 6-9pm, switched around the next day.

And I'm not sure what home vs away team does in the context of closed practice session or not?

They both had about two thirds as much time as they normally would to practice, and I honestly don't know what effect, if any, that had on procedure. That and the availability of alternate fields (visiting teams often get permission and use nearby college fields to practice) are what makes the "away" team issue relevant: In this case the "home" team had to spend about three times longer in the air than any visiting team that week (except Denver, obviously).

Hopefully this will finally get McDaniels fired from the Broncos - 27/11/2010 06:45:12 PM 885 Views
Was the session closed? - 27/11/2010 08:06:28 PM 591 Views
The LEAGUE said no one could tape it, and virtually shouted it at the Cheatriots after Spygate. - 28/11/2010 12:05:00 AM 534 Views
So they were allowed to watch but not tape? - 28/11/2010 12:37:59 AM 525 Views
Well, I suppose they could spend all their time watching the '9ers practice if the skipped their own - 28/11/2010 01:00:38 AM 539 Views
Or just send an extra guy there - 28/11/2010 01:07:02 AM 534 Views
Probably would still be illegal, but I'm not sure it could be done so easily. - 28/11/2010 02:22:52 AM 695 Views
Then why not practice behind closed doors? - 28/11/2010 07:56:36 AM 599 Views
Normally they do, at least part of the time, but there were extenuating circumstances. - 28/11/2010 12:13:23 PM 520 Views
My point is that all they'd have to do is tell the people running Wembley - 29/11/2010 11:18:06 AM 500 Views
Closed practices are fairly common, but I'm not sure how it works when BOTH teams are "visitors". - 29/11/2010 12:51:33 PM 531 Views
I presume they staggered the practices - 29/11/2010 03:29:29 PM 466 Views

OMFG, someone must've dropped the boy genius on his head a few (dozen) times as a child. - 28/11/2010 12:20:03 AM 550 Views

*nods* I did exagerate slightly. - 28/11/2010 11:40:43 AM 543 Views
Someone at BF made up this little gem: - 28/11/2010 02:19:10 PM 676 Views

Well, John, here's hoping he doesn't get fired. - 28/11/2010 05:13:06 PM 568 Views
Thanks for the invite - 28/11/2010 07:19:08 PM 560 Views
Pretty sad when the Faders can tut tut Denver for poor sportsmanship though. - 29/11/2010 01:01:08 PM 590 Views
Really? - 29/11/2010 02:37:39 PM 569 Views
That's fine. - 29/11/2010 02:34:12 PM 579 Views
