Other Sports And like that.....sports are gone. - Page 5

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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