Day 30 Updates, Part 2 probably coming tonight of my first-month post...

• The XFL has failed.  All staff laid off, no plans for 2021.  Not, at this point, that I think it functionally matters.  As you saw in that survey I posted about last night/early this morning, half of those polled now believe we get no sports at all for the rest of the calendar year.
• He's not the only one out of a job today.  Grant Wahl was fired today from Sports Illustrated for criticisms of pay cuts because of the coronavirus.  There are going to be a lot of people out of a job in sports and sports media over the next few months, especially if the length of time out is going to be as long as some of us think it is.  (MSN)
• Major League Baseball is getting in the e-sports kick -- a league of MLB: The Show involving one player from each of the 30 teams.
• Here's a call-back from the old 1970's NBA on CBS broadcasts:  ESPN is putting on a HORSE tournament -- socially-distanced (probably meaning the players have to have some personal access to a personal court or section thereof at their house of something!)  First round Sunday, semifinals and finals on Friday.  Eight-man tournament.  (Matchups are here.) 
• And Sunday, a marathon of National Spelling Bees on ESPN from 9 AM to 4 PM Pacific.
• In about the closest thing we have to sports, as illegal and irresponsible, etc. as it is, a group of IDIOTS decided to use the fact that the traffic was far less to break, perhaps once and for all, the classic Cannonball Run from Los Angeles to New York -- and took the record down to just 26 hours and 38 minutes. 
• Social Distancing Super Bowl VII is in the books from the Simulated Sports Network.  Unlike the previous six, they decided to take the 1991 rosters and jumble them.  As a result, Boomer Esiason, Jerry Rice, Thurman Thomas and Richard Dent's Detroit Lions stopped Steve Young's Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC title game 34-27 when Roger Craig was stopped 1 yard short of a tying touchdown.  The AFC title went to Cincinnati, who shitcanned Denver 42-0.
• And Detroit used a timely block of an extra point with 1:15 to go to win over Cincinnati 21-13.
• Another 1991 roster-jumble season has just begun on their Twitch channel.
