Day 20 Stuff To Do And Updates

  • No dice on the Chinese sports relaunch, and that's four months now they've been off.  It's becoming obvious that people are going to have to understand that we need to get the rest of the economy re-launched first, because I don't think we are going to get large-crowd sports back for a VERY LONG TIME.  I'm now thinking that IS 18 months or so down the road, if ever.  
  • The Bundesliga is now at least out til April 30.
  • E-Sports takes the fore again later this week. 16 NBA players will be playing an NBA Casino Simulator NBA2K20 "Players Only" tournament, and ESPN will cover it, starting Friday. (Kotaku)


-----

Stuff to do:
Starting tonight, and they have given the next four after on the list all through April, ESPN is airing some classic baseball gems.

And if you have the $4.99/month ESPN+ subscription service, that's not all!  As of today, 13 no-hitters and perfect games are now available on demand, including BOTH post-season no-hitters.

Day 19 Stuff To Do And Updates -- Starting with a BIG Sports Update

  • There will be NO tennis Grand Slam this year.  Wimbledon will be CANCELLED as early as Wednesday and people are pissed about the French Open.
Dick Hordroff, the vice-president of German tennis, made those pronunciations today.

And the issue on the French Open is that they postponed unilaterially.

People are going to have to get over it.  We are going to be lucky to have much of any meaningful sports, especially if this thing completely blows up the economy to the point of civil unrest.

(Hat-tip to my anonymous friend for finding that biggie in The Guardian.)

----

Stuff to do:
  • ESPN tonight:  Main network has the MNF points-record game (Rams/Chiefs), 2 has highlight matches of the world champion US women's soccer team.
  • Chris Jericho has confirmed a second "Saturday Night Special" on Facebook Live this weekend.  Not sure on time, does he want to go up against Wrestlemania Night One? 
  • And he has graciously uploaded the first one to YouTube:

And why are my embeds disappearing for YouTube videos?

  • Forgot to put Olbermann up, so I'll do it now.

And I see ESPN's bullshit on full display again.

I was going to do this anyway -- talked with a couple readers about this.

As I said earlier, ESPN, to do some content over the course of this situation, has come up with a bi-gendered 64-person Greatest College Basketball Player Of All Time tournament.

We're down to the Final Four.

The bullshit really started when Shaq beat Kareem in the second round.  Yes, you heard right -- Shaquille O'Neal, who accomplished not that much in college, was voted through over fucking Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -- and they deadnamed him back to "Alcindor" for these purposes on top of it!!!.

To no one's eventual shock from that point, Shaq is in the Final Four.  Also over both Hakeem Olajuwon ("Akeem" here, another deadname), and Oscar Robertson.

They at least appear to have gotten his opponent right -- Larry Bird won his region.

But over fucking DUANE WADE???

Are the ignoramuses voting or rigging this thing even considering the likes of how dominant Ralph Sampson was in Virginia -- a man who probably made more of his career in college than in the pros (the opposite of the almighty Shaq!!!)??

Bill Russell at least lost to Bird himself, and that can be a nice back-and-forth for a lot of people -- but at least that one makes fucking sense!!!

Magic Johnson did win his region, and the toughest competition there was probably either Patrick Ewing or Laettner -- who probably is tailor-made for this, because he did almost nothing in the NBA at all.

But then we get Foolish and Wretched One-Dimensional BALLHOG mickey jordon -- Michael Jordan, WHO OF COURSE WON HIS FUCKING REGION.

David Thompson, who was Laettner-esque in college and did have a good NBA career?

BILL FUCKING WALTON GOT KNOCKED OUT so we could glorify Ballhog some more???

OK, Walton lost to Wilt.  That makes sense, but then Jordan beats Wilt in the Elite 8???

OH FUCKING COME ON!!!

Anyway, the Final Four:

Shaq vs. Bird
Magic vs. jordon

Should be Magic and Bird, probably will be Shaq and Jordan.

Day 18

Doesn't seem that much on the table.  First network "at-home concert" from iHeart Radio on FOX tonight, as I mentioned before.

Here's Olbermann and a cute puppy doggie:

  • Twitch Stream Aid yesterday raised over $2,750,000 for World Health Organization efforts to combat COVID-19.
I'll toss more of a bit of an overreaching site here -- it'll have stuff I may mention later or may not, but I saw this on Reddit and figured it might help others.

I may lose some people from bringing them over for this, but you gotta see this one...

This is Judge Jeanine from "Justice" on Fox News.

Someone please tell me how this is not indicative of how disconnected people have to be on that side of the equation:
