The Frankish Reich Posted July 27, 2020 Posted July 27, 2020 I don't remember which ESPN guy it was, but the question -- about a month ago -- was this: "Are we going to have pro sports this summer/fall?" And the answer was this: "Yes, in that they'll start, but they won't finish." And it's becoming less and less likely that we play anything resembling a full NFL season. If you can't keep a baseball team healthy, how can you possibly do it for a pro football team? You've got traveling parties of about 100 people. You've got anywhere from 8 to 11 guys lined up, sweating, panting, a couple inches from each other's faces. I was thrilled when baseball came back -- thank you, MLB -- and I watched a fair amount this weekend. I desperately want these seasons to go for my own entertainment value. But ... it's not gonna happen.

But ... it's not gonna happen. To parlay your "I don't remember which guy said it" thought, I had heard on the radio over the weekend that the overall thoughts on the MLB's plan for starting their season was ill-conceived and poorly planned. Not sure what all that entails, but might account for the recent "outbreak" on the Marlins.
