COVID runs our lives now

Quite a hoax, huh?

The sports world has come to a near standstill. 

There had been little bits of virus-related sports news in recent days, but today the dam broke. 

The NCAA tournament (both men and women) will be played without fans in the arena. Just essential game personnel and family. The conference tournaments will also all finish with no fans at the games. 

And now the NBA is suspending their entire season. It was likely headed that way anyway, but then we had the first player test positive, and the league quickly shut the whole thing down.

This will not be the end of this. It's a safe bet the NHL will be disrupted in a similar way, and MLB may also be in jeopardy. 

Frankly, at the moment we look headed to a situation where no sporting events get played at all, and certainly nothing with fans in attendance.

And with dipshit Trump "leading" us through this, who knows how bad this will get. It might wind up being a total country lockdown soon. Guess it's a good thing I got such a big list of stuff on Netflix and Hulu (cause oh yeah, movie theaters are getting shut down soon too).

Remember when the 2010s were fucking horrible and we thought the 2020s would surely be better? Nope. That was just a warm up.

    Now the NCAA tournaments are being canceled, I know some colleges have decided to pull their athletes prior to the NCAA making the decision, Covid-19 would spread like wildfire in a college setting. The NHL is suspending the season, MLB is delaying the start of the season but I think it will go much longer than that, movies are being delayed, Disney is closed, Broadway has shut down.
    Dotard cut funding to the CDC and canned the pandemic unit. It’s serious and we have to slow the spread. He would love to cancel the election.

Message Board Classics: 2004 NFL Season

Preseason kickoff post (and other posts): Oh yes, it IS that time again. Training camps are open. The first preseason games are less than a week away. Players are already being idiots. It's the best time of the sports year. It is not yet the time for predictions, but I'll hit on some of the big recent stories. Ricky Williams retires. Well, we know now he did so cuz he was gonna be suspended for using marijuana. He's a little shit as far as I'm concerned. You do not abandon your team when he did. He had every right to retire, but do it at least before the draft. He's left the Dolphins with zero chance of making the playoffs. They couldn't go get Eddie George or Antowain Smith, nor could they draft a RB. The Cowboys cut Quincy Carter. I spent all offseason pleading with Dallas to go get a QB like Warner or Collins or Garcia. Instead they fail to upgrade, and now take a step back. Vinny is 80 years old and has little if anything left. My prediction is that Drew Hen...

Awful NFL season ends with awful Super Bowl

BUCCANEERS 31 CHIEFS 9 The 2020 NFL season is over. Thank god! A season that was almost across the board unenjoyable, and felt empty and largely felt manipulated, ended with the worst outcome imaginable. With a result that not only continues this 20 year nightmare but that will frankly hurt the NFL for years to come. I was not looking forward to this game. I knew this was going to happen. Maybe not in blowout fashion but I knew the NFL was going to see to it that Tom Brady got his 7th title. The house wins. The game was never fun. Right from the start the Chiefs seemed sleepy, like they weren't really in it. This team plays with swagger, but in this game they had none. Patrick Mahomes was under enormous pressure from the start. The Chiefs grabbed the 1st lead at 3-0 but then from basically the end of the 1st quarter until halftime it was a nightmare. The Chiefs offense remained lifeless. The Chiefs defense did manage a goal line stand that at the moment seemed like it could be a tu...
