Dang! No sports!

I am a huge sports fan-it's where I go when I can't take the news anymore. I guess it's gonna be up to Netflix and Law and Order reruns. After hours of following the coverage of the pandemic I need a break.

No college sports, no NBA, no NHL, maybe no MLB or MiLB. Right now they just seem to be showing Sportscenter on all their channels.

not the corporations, but the people who work there. Can you imagine having ONE story to cover for months on end?

Maybe for hardcore fans. The NFL is already cancelling pre-draft stuff and teams are not sending personnel to pro day workouts. We'll see how far it goes. Maybe they will have the draft by teleconference.

I hadn't heard that before. Maybe some plagiarizing sportswriter will pick it up.

I expect a whole lot of chatter on the talk shows about Tom Brady and free agency for the next week.

Undoubtedly the GOAT but I think he is on the decline. Ryan Tannehill did a great job getting the Titans to the AFC Playoff. A lot of the TN fans would love to have him here-especially the talk radio guys. He'd bring in lots of $$

Getting to see TB12 24/7 for next week is like the dentist's office calling to tell you they have a cancellation and can move you up. Oh boy.

strikes a little too close to home.
Also, the lead actress was horrible compared to the actors around her.
