Rachel Nichols sat down for a Q & A with the league creator:
Rachel: So what is a bubble for these Offensive lines and Defenses?
Faceless person with computer voice (FPWCV): The bubble allows you to select lets say the 1998 Broncos. You are allowed up-to 11 years around your dream year in mind. You could select 1995-2005 Broncos. You don't have to designate what year you will use. This gives you salary cap flexibility and you can block anyone from having those years. You also can claim less years if you chose such as the 2019-2025 Ravens.
Rachel: Novel concept.
FPWCV: Um, not really. You state specifically what it is.
Rachel: Does the bubble burst?
FPWCV: No, you could just think of it as a calligram. But it doesn't burst sweetie.
Rachel. Darn. But I like those telegrams that we used to see on Bonanza.
FPWCV: I like western style shows of that era. But that's a completely different thing, but an image I suppose.
Camera man: Someone is having a case of the Mondays.
Rachel: so when you ban a great Defense? do you just pick the years you want? Is it also 11 years?
FPWCV: Now, that is a good question. No, you must ban an Offensive Line or Defense only by decade, 10 years total. Otherwise no ban votes would match up with other owners. Say you want to ban the 50s Rams. You would submit 1950-59 Rams OL as your ban.
Rachel: We gotta wrap this up.
FPWCV: yes indeed.
