Hey there, boys and girls. Welcome to another edition of the Business of Sports with

Andrew Brand. I'm Andrew Brand. That music underscoring me is from the one and only Sam Brandt.

Happy to have you here. It's going to be a Brant's Rance edition. Just get right into it with what's

figure out what happens with the Titans. You know, here we go. Listen, all offseason, you know what

I was saying in terms of how we're going to do this. You know, I really was talking about,

are we really doing this, playing through a pandemic? And again, we talked about a lot of other sports,

and we talked about ways that other sports are handling it, primarily the bubble. And of course,

the NFL not being able to bubble with such

incredible staffs and so many people and ways to do it which would not be feasible.

Well, we have data, and before we get to the NFL, here's the data.

Bubbles work in an incredible way, an extraordinarily successful way.

MLS, bubble, no infections.

NHL, bubble, no infections.

WNBA, no infections, bubble.
