And like that.....sports are gone.
 

So weird. I’m not saying it’s right or wrong or whatever. It’s just surreal. In a 24 hour time period, all sports have disappeared. Sure, it’s temporary, but you couldn’t find a live sporting event to watch to save your life at this point. Hell, my town cancelled little league and I’d be shocked if the city softball league I play in has games tomorrow. Stay safe everyone, and hopefully we can get back to normal sooner rather than later.

I actually wonder if there's any chance that e-sports will see a tiny bump in popularity from all of this.

They very well could. Especially in the gambling community.

Watch Chiefs highlights, per usual.

Well definitely this.

I heard from a friend who heard from his cousin that instead of having a normal season next year the NFL is going electronic where each player has to play their Madden avatar.

I’m sure Patrick playing Patrick will still dominate.

Big bump for/from Pornhub....

NASCAR still going on. Same with WWE

I'll probably just watch replays of the 2019 NFL playoffs for the next few months and be perfectly happy.

And chess.

There is always Porn

Orson Welles, War of The Worlds.
thats all thats happening here.
none of us are going to catch anything

I wonder if there will still be the will for fans and players to attack the Astros.

Time to break out the football cards, my electric football game, some books that need to be read. I also have all the Tecmo games, love to play D and destroy Bo Jackson. The dude only has one play. But as Bo I can run around until I simply get bored with it.

March Madness!

just not the type of madness people expected

Dogs cant transfer the virus to humans. We could exploit them more for gambling.

Michael Vick approves of this post

I wouldn't have even known they cancelled Pro BB.

If there was ever a year to do it, this was probably not a bad year to cancel the March madness tournament. I don’t think many people were following this season too closely anyways. Seemed like there weren’t any teams actually worth a shit this year anyways. They better not cancel the NBA playoffs, though, those are going to be great this year.

Bring back the continuous loop of worlds strongest man competitions on espn.

and the lumberjack games

Saw Sklar Brothers trending on Twitter, fans lobbying for ESPN to air a Cheap Seats marathon.

oh hell yes

"Well what is it that you like to do?"

"Play chess, screw."

"Let's play chess."

Yep. I said to the wife “we should Netflix and chill”. She said “we can totally watch Netflix”

im going to try and have some sex

People could always....I don't know.....Go outside?

clean your garage? Build something? Mushroom hunting? Go shoot invasive species in your area? Pigs/iguanas/boa/nutria?

Play some extra ball with your kids?

I predict a spike in the US birth rate in Dec 2020 thru Feb 2021.

I'm glad we won the SB this year.... :D

ESPN needs to partner with Animal Planet and start broadcasting some of those Thai monkey brawls.

My Chiefs Super Bowl commemorative Blu Ray gets delivered tomorrow. That’s better than nothing.

It is unsafe for unsafe for me to watch my kid play hockey, but fighting over toilet paper in a crammed Costco isn’t.

I'm not too proud to watch hour after hour of cornhole tournaments.

Indeed. People must satisfy their need for sports.

Cornholio?

Well, if you're Italian this may just be your lucky day:

It might be a good idea in the next week to go spend time with the people you love.

Unlike buying 1,293 rolls of toilet paper you won't regret spending more time with grandpa, grandkids, that nice old lady next door. Smell the roses. Plant some vegetables like you've been telling yourself you would for years...

We still have bowling, axe throwing and cornhole

If the doom and gloom'ers are right we got to see the Chiefs win it all before the zombie 'pockalips...

It's so nice to see businesses step up in times of crisis.

This may be the first time porn actually saved lives...

Rumor is NASCAR is about to pull it’s races, and that Trump is going to declare a national emergency at 3pm EST

There goes the market LMAO

UFC is going to have live fights tomorrow in an empty arena on ESPN. It was going to be online only on ESPN+, but after everything else in the sports world died, ESPN grabbed it.

I'm still pissed about the NCAA tournament.

Same here. It's probably my favorite sporting event.

Same.

A buddy and I always take the first two days of the tournament off and go watch it at a local watering hole. This is the first year in probably a decade I can't because I am (supposed to) be going on my honeymoon next month.

Barring an act of god, that trip is cancelled too. :cuss:

I'm so burnt out right now with my job and to have the couple of things I've been eagerly awaiting ripped away from me. I can't really describe how I feel right now.

I have every game from 2018 preseason to the Super Bowl to watch. I wish I had kept the 2017 preseason to watch a younger Mahomes play.

Love YouTube!

I came into this thread with the same thought.

If anyone is interested, there will be a 2v2 Starcraft 2 tournament tonight at around 7pm central on twitch.tv/basetradetv that I plan on watching. Times are approximations when it comes to twitch streams.

This isn't like AIDS. Girls can easily transmit this to guys by all accounts. ;)

It's my fault. A long time ago, I came up with a short bucket list. The last item I had to check off was a Chiefs' superbowl win. Now that the final seal has been broken, I hope I'm not taking everyone down with me.

Football's my sport to follow, so I haven't really noticed. After cutting the cord I don't see much SportsCenter or ESPN and get most of my football fix from here and YouTube. Outside of seeing highlights on TVs in the bars of restaurants I've gone to, they could have shut down the NBA or NHL years ago and I wouldn't have realized.

I know that's kind of weird, but I've just got too much going on to commit to another sport. When I get into something, I really get into it and my wife can go for 3 hours on a Sunday 16 weeks a year (with a bonus three weeks this year, woohoo!) better than a sport with 80+ games in a season.

NCAA to grant additional year to some, discussing more

After the cancellation of the NCAA Basketball Tournaments and all winter and spring championships, athletes, particularly seniors, were left with their seasons and careers cut short. Due to this unprecedented nature of the coronavirus, many clamored for athletes to retain their year of eligibility due to the lost post-seasons and full spring seasons.

According to basketball analyst Jeff Goodman, the NCAA is on their way to that possibility. In a time of unbelievable events, the NCAA is looking for a way to accommodate the spring sports.

Winter sports, which were cut short, may also be on the docket.

"The NCAA’s Council Coordination Committee has agreed to grant relief for the use of a season of competition for student-athletes who have participated in spring sports," Goodman tweeted. "Committee will also discuss issues for winter sport student-athletes."

"Players in spring sports get another year of eligibility," he wrote. "NCAA looking into what to do with those who played winter sports."

The NCAA released a statement regarding the decision:

"The NCAA Board of Governors encourages conferences and schools to make decisions and take action in the best interest of student-athletes and their communities. In addition, the NCAA Board of Governors directs Divisions I, II and III to consider necessary adjustments to or waivers of rules where appropriate."

Yeah, I'm not even a one-sport guy. I'm a one team in one league in one sport guy. If the Chiefs ceased to exist, I'm not sure if anything else would move in to fill that gap, but I'd probably just read more books or something.

This is when they will start making shows like “Ow, My Balls”.

Not a basketball guy, but sad the NCAA Wrestling championship is called off.

Wonder if the situation will touch the Olympics this summer.

All we have now is chit chat about back in the day, once upon a time.

So beat my NBA starting five

Jabbar
Lebron
Michael
Magic
Currey

I want to see people in those sumo suits fight it out on top of a cliff. Adds drama.

ESPN’s Saturday programming schedule during weekend #1 of the no sports apocalypse...

They need to at least come back in the regular season long enough for the Pelicans to steal the 8th seed. Then they can cancel the regular season & go straight to the playoffs ;)

ESPN has resorted to showing high school basketball championships in Nebraska on SportsCenter.

I'm starting a Corona Virus league with my top two teams:

The Grey Haired Early Bird Specials vs the Over Fifty but Under Fifty Forty

First game sponsored by Ben Gay, Grecian Formula 16, Depends and Viagra.

Would be a shame to see the playoffs without the rookie of the year involved, though. Or were you assuming the Grizzlies move up above the 8 seed? :p

I was just thinking about that today. I bet soon ESPN will be littered with esports shit.

May god help us.

Nah we'll just continue to get ESPN's usual TMZ-style coverage but minus the games. They'll keep us up to date on what the players are wearing and who is dating who.

“It’s times like these when we are reminded of the things that are truly important in life,” wrote the father of three. “Our health, our loved ones and looking after those that need support in our communities. In these moments, sport takes a back seat. We must all listen to expert advice and do the right thing. Stay safe and look out for yourselves and your families.”

The obvious solution: the Lingerie Football League needs to replace their field with a giant pool of Purell.

Interesting. They shut ours down over here in IA

This guy needs a new job!

Just got back from a 1 hour walk on a beautiful day. Didn't see one other walker. Normally dozens. You can get exercise and still be segregated.

Here's a good idea:

To be honest I am already tired of watching games I already know the outcome.

no golf, no NCAA.

Stuck with NCIS LA and Hallmark. (wife)
