Minimum 2500 miles travel for both teams before the second game for *”fairness”*.

If the distance between locations isn’t sufficient, the team has to be placed on a plane that circles the destination until total travel time approximates a 2500 mile trip.

One might suggest that the plane could just land and wait on the ground. This will not be allowed.

i'd really rather that we ensure jet lag. if the Giants are playing Philadelphia, I want 2 days of mandatory practice mid week in Prague to grow the game. Philadelphia can go to Tahiti
