It will be different and have an eerie feeling at first. Like watching Dawn of the Dead sports version. Probably wont be cheerleaders either, I mean, what would be the point? On the plus side, beer will be cheaper, you can still tailgate at home, knock one out with the significant other during halftime, no fear of DUI on way home, Couple hundred bucks still in bank account, and actually get to work on time Monday morning. The glass is half full.

Interestingly enough Rugby League is looking at restarting on May 28th!

Obesity is an underlying medical condition... Take a hard look at some of these lineman. What if somebody died from it? I heard Tony Bosseli's interview about it the other day. A 47 year old former pro athlete was touch and go in ICU.

(04-17-2020, 04:31 PM)jason Wrote: Yeah... Them too. And God forbid, all it takes is one death. I really hope this all clears up one way or another, but I'm really bracing myself for no sports this year. I think we'll know more in the next month or so as we dip our toe in trying to get things back together.

I imagine there will be a lot more bleeps for cussing on the TV side and also probably hear some farts squeak out here and there. Especially when Lawson lights Rapeleisberger up like Xmas, I can hear that fat bastard getting the wind knocked out of him right now.

Interesting that you went straight to bad language and farts.  I'm sure that's no indication of how your mind works whatsoever.
