Baseball had a horrible day and a horrible week. The owners are trying to fool us into believing it’s the players fault.

Gut-wrenching day for minor league baseball.

There’s a lot of blame to go around here.

Open up the books!

Adam Silver met with NBA GMs yesterday.

No definitive path to a return was laid out but scenarios were discussed.

Adam Silver to meet with Board of Governors today.

Next week should be an exciting week.

The Knicks have a coach at the top of their list. By the way, in case you forgot, the Knicks need a coach.

We’ve moved on to the NBA figuring out how many family members will be allowed in the bubble.

I have a lot of bubble related questions…

Is the media allowed in the bubble?

Who gets the nicest hotel?

The 20 team group play is stupid.

“If the season ended today…” - just put the playoff teams in.

Baker Mayfield will let his actions do the talking.

Browns closing in on Clowny?

Colin Kaepernick has played more recently than Aldon Smith.

The NBA is overthinking everything. They’re sending out survey’s, Mark Cuban has ideas, group play, regular season, play-in games - all sorts of stuff.

Damian Lillard says he won’t play if his team isn’t given a chance to compete for a playoff spot. The Blazers are 3-1/2 games back from the Grizzles for the 8th spot.

The NHL announced the end of their regular season and a return to play will be strictly post season play. This is far from solidified but they may be closer than any other league to returning.

MLB seems to get further away from playing by the day.

The players were given their first salary proposal and it didn’t go well.

Somehow Michael Jordan, Isiah Thomas, and the Dream Team is still making news.

Unfortunately, the news of Vince McMahon buying the XFL out of bankruptcy isn’t accurate… at least, not anymore.

The NBA continues to take steps to returning.

They’re doing everything right while it seems MLB is doing everything wrong.

Why I think some of the potential strategies are bad.

Reseeding is a bad idea.

ESPN is producing a show that focuses on Tom Brady’s Super Bowl appearances. This wasn’t publicized as a documentary but people have already formed an opinion on it because Brady is involved in producing it.

The Last Dance may have not been completely accurate… does that change anyones opnion?

The Dak Prescott contract negotiation is one of the strongest displays of poor reporting in recent memory.

The Oakland A’s can’t pay their rent.

Mike Tyson had a great weekend and has a big money offer out there for him.

The NBA is starting to nail down dates and it appears a conclusion to the NBA season will happen.

We can expect some sort of announcement regarding players returning to their home markets “around June 1”.

That would indicate a July return to basketball with start to the playoffs being in August.

What this all means for the NBA moving forward.

Las Vegas works as a bubble city. Orlando is a great idea. Houston, very much is not!

Patriots fans are in their feelings over Brady working out with his new Tampa Bay teammates.

The NFL is looking a loss of $5.5 million in revenue if the entire 2020 season is played without fans in attendance.

College Football is allowing athletes to return to college campuses on June 1.

Ohio St is already coming up with plans for how they can have fans in attendance.

Aldon Smith is back. Again. He has an NFL contract and hasn’t played in a game since 2015.

Maya Moore and the Sacramento Kings being recognized for good.
