1. It is impossible to put the NFL in a bubble

I think it is also impossible for MLB even with the shortened season.

Maybe the NBA playoffs will happen (far fewer participants).

The only way it is going to happen is if the sports teams decide to roll the dice. Minimize exposure during competition (possible for MLB - unlikely for NBA and NFL) and keep vulnerable adults (ie the older coaches and other support staff) in a bubble and communicate via radio with the younger coaches having body cameras with audio feed. They might even go as far as allowing players who test positive still play so long as they are healthy enough to compete.
