Will COVID-19 be the needle that finally bursts the sports bubble?

I would actually love a world where we
Play the NFL in fall-winter and play college football in Winter-spring. It’s eight solid months of football. It would fuck up the draft but at least we could get a dedicated day off on the weekends. Watching football the entire weekends currently is overkill and presents you with the choice between getting chores done or missing games.

 

Just like every year, amirite @tapintoamerica?

 

Yep.
Can I infer that you don’t think the ACC is deep? How dare you. (“Da U Is Back” may be the most overplayed storyline in sports.)

 

Unless you don't have a dick.

 

Let's be honest. Nobody is stepping on dicks. Most of them stick straight out because they're too short to hang down.

 

Well, now that Budrick William Foster III has retired from Virginia Tech it is.

 

The good news is, when you have Tennessee***-Baylor in one semifinal, and Alabama-Oklahoma in the other semifinal . . .

The Big 12 can lose two semifinal games instead of its usual one.


*** it's my hypothetical, dammit

 

A year off of college sports is doable. Just be sure the kids keep their eligibility.

Pro sports? I cannot see a packed arena until at least the spring, which is when I think we will have a vaccine.

I think every pro team can afford to pay each player on their roster up to a million for the season even if it isn’t played. Just extend contracts.

 

Take a look at the weather maps over the last month or so. Doing that in the South would get people electrocuted or drowned.

 

How about we just skip the seasons and move on to regularly staged ones next year, God hoping?

I've seen more people clamoring to be able to buy their hair color than ball park hot dogs and beers. We'll survive a year of no sports.
