Day 122

  • No fans nor pro-ams for the PGA in 2020.
  • And the commissioner of the Southeastern Conference, THE Major League of College Football, has officially sounded the alarm on having a 2020 season at all.
  • Another cancelled Houston Astros workout.  Opening Day is now just 12 days away. 
  • Aroldis Chapman, the closer for the Yankees, has tested positive for the coronavirus. 
  • So has Kansas City's Cam Gallagher -- much to his surprise, and he played a scrimmage with the team yesterday. 
  • Amitabh Bachchan, the host of India's version of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire", "Kaun Banega Crorepati", has tested positive for the coronavirus and admitted to a hospital in India. Amitabh was slated to be the host of KBC in the Academy Award-winning "Slumdog Millionaire", but the Bollywood mega-star refused the role, saying it could cause confusion, since the show in the movie was corrupt.  His son Abhishek has also tested positive.
  • He has urged all close to him to get tested on his Twitter upon his admittance.
  • Reports early Sunday morning now have his wife and daughter also testing positive.
  • Olbermann: 

  • And Chris Jericho with his Saturday Night Special:

  • The Palace at Auburn Hills, former home of the Pistons, was imploded today.
  • ESPN NBA superanalyst Adrian Wojnarowski has been suspended indefinitely from the network without pay for a profane political blast against Missouri Senator Josh Hawley.
  • According to Bleacher Report, Hawley tweeted:  "If @NBA is going to put social cause statements on uniforms, why not “Support our Troops” or “Back the Blue”? Or given how much $$ @nba makes in #China, how about “Free Hong Kong”! Today I wrote to Adam Silver to ask for answers."
  • And:  "Don’t criticize #China or express support for law enforcement to @espn. It makes them real mad ⁦@Outkick⁩"
  • Woj's response:  "Fuck You."
