It is official.

Honestly, they should just cancel the damned thing.


They aren't losing that tv money. That is the bulk.


And since we'll all be on lockdown, we need something to watch.

Does the NCAA get a cut of the gambling money?

NCAA doesn't but I am sure it factored in their decision.

Thanks. I need some coffee and my gf loves tea (and I actually had those in cart as we're short on earl grey).

Brazil's press minister is expected to test positive for COVID. He was with Trump last Saturday in Mar A Lago.

This seems like overkill but that's easy for me to say

Trump has it but how will they cover it up?

So I guess this is coronavirus related... I had a thought earlier about what sporting events that must continue on with their schedule (NBA, NHL, etc.) can do to offset the cost of the lost revenue from being forced to play with an empty stadium. Mic up all of the players and broadcast a player audio feed, and make people pay for that. Allow fans to select the player you want to listen to and let them switch it up throughout the game. It would obviously need to be on a delay, but I think the hardcore fans would go for it.

Done with my random thought of the day.

Yesterday's Valencia vs. Atalanta Champions League match was played in an empty stadium and you could clearly hear the players in the highlights I saw. Was pretty cool.
Another day, another box of stolen pens.

My work sent out a very generic email today with a link to cdc and saying they’re still looking at everything. I talked to a higher up and he said when we get more cases next week we’ll probably institute mandatory WFH. So fucking dumb.
