Day 68

  • Broadway theatre has it's first casualty -- and it's Disney.  They will NOT re-launch the musical version of Frozen after theatres reopen.  Current word of the New York Times is that a possible re-launch of Broadway is months and months away -- "considerably after Labor Day"...  Let it go, people...     
  • Last week, Broadway called off all shows through the summer.
  • One of the "revelations" (ha ha) of the final episodes of "The Last Dance" is that Jordan's famous "flu game" was actually due to food-poisoning, bad pizza.  Yeah, and if you believe that, I have a nice parcel of beach to sell you...  In Lincoln, Nebraska.     
  • ESPN confirms the earliest NASCAR will even THINK of having audiences is June 21st -- after this five-week restart. 
  • It appears as if Arizona will be the next site for UFC cards, according to ESPN's "Golic and Wingo" mini-Sportscenter this morning. 
  • Today is the first day of training for Aussie Rules Football players under obvious limitations.  Round 2 of the 2020 season is now scheduled to start June 11th.  Four teams will have to relocate to the Gold Coast.
  • In an effort not to be left out when pro sports restarts, it appears New York and California are willing to start up again in the next few weeks.  This is a complete reversal of Newsom's position on the subject -- it appears he knows if he tries to keep California teams out of the pro sports to keep everybody safe, that probably WILL be the tipping point.     
  • One of the "name" restaurants in Chicago -- Ditka's Restaurant -- will not reopen.  The coronavirus will permanently close the restaurant. 
  • Olbermann:

  • And a message from the Trek universe that I feel is necessary for today:

Only logical.     
  • There will be no attempt at the BIG3 3 on 3 league this year.
  • ESPN, on it's Classic NBA Night, is showing "Game 6:  The Movie".  1998's Game 6, the final game of the rigged Bulls dynasty.  Hey, why not?  So scripted of an event that you could make it into a movie, so ESPN is going to???     
  • This Cody Latimer thing sounds like it's pretty deep.  Apparently, the gunshots and other incidents were part of a poker game Latimer was involved with, but it goes far deeper than that.  There is an ongoing criminal investigation of a sexual assault of Latimer's son by one of the players at the poker game!!!
  • Cody Latimer's son is aged FOUR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
