LabattBlue Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 I'm really not missing sports at all. I realize in a normal year the only thing going on right now would be baseball, but I don't even really miss that. Maybe it is because it is summer, and even though many things are shut down, you can still enjoy the nice weather...and maybe I'll feel different once the weather starts to turn in WNY come November. We will see. 3
Augie Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) ESPN misses sports. A lot! They had an Eagles concert on ESPN2 the other night. I guess you can only show that 1998 National Spelling Bee so many times. I don’t miss sports NOW, because I’m not a baseball fan (and I’m watching Kyle’s terrific showing at Lake Tahoe). Right now I’m mostly dreading the thought of Fall arriving, and football cannot pull off the miracle. That will hurt. It’s not the end of the world, but with fall comes football......right? That is how it is supposed to work. It might even be the long lost 11th Commandment. I’m not positive on the last part, but I’m pretty sure.... College basketball with be the thing I miss the second most. . Edited July 13, 2020 by Augie
BillsPride12 Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 I'm not really missing sports at the moment but I always love summer and it's playing golf season so that has always been my Sports fix at this time of the year. As others have mentioned no football in the fall will be the true test.
Success Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 It is as though someone removed a pound of my flesh, or a limb. There is an emptiness inside that feels as hollow and hopeless as the darkest void. But it's subjective. I respect your opinion on the matter.
EmotionallyUnstable Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I’m doing just fine without sports. It will be a whole different feeling come August is the NFL isn’t back into the swing of things.
SinceThe70s Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I got lucky and hooked my 14 year old up with a baseball team after we found out that the local little league didn't have enough players. Watching practices and a scrimmage has been a welcome sight this past week.
Greg S Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I am going to miss having no football if there is no season. I do think the NFL will play but not CFB.

Not at all sports related, but I guess that is ESPNs m.o. these days. "I had a rough night and I hate the f*n Eagles, man."
123719bwiqrb Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 (edited) I don't miss watching sports much, but I do love playing ice hockey year round. Haven't been able to play since March 11th. And we were supposed to play in the 11 Day Power Play this week - no dice. I will be missing the NFL and the Bills in the fall, if they can't pull it together by then. 1 hour ago, Mark80 said: This concert was on ESPN the original on Sunday night. WTF is that crap?

I'd take Hotel California on a continuous loop over that. Edited July 13, 2020 by 123719bwiqrb
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I haven't missed it much, at all actually. The greatest blessing of all this COVID nonsense is it's allowed me to focus on what's truly important. 3 1

PastaJoe Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 Not missing the pro sports as this is usually a down time for the sports I care about, hockey and football. I’m waiting for my fantasy football magazine to arrive. What I’m missing is playing hockey, which I did year round on Sundays. We haven’t played since March, and it will be at least months before we can play again. I’m getting doughy from the lack of activity. Tried to buy a bike last month but there’s not a lot of inventory under $1,000. 1
Gugny Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I miss baseball a lot. It's been part of my daily routine from April to November for decades.
The Dean Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I'm nowhere near the sports addict I was when younger. Still it is nice to be able to watch some competition that isn't a rerun or extremely lame. So far, horse racing and boxing have scratched my sports itch. Come football season it will probably get a bit tougher. But like many have said. Very minor issue given the current crisis.
Keukasmallies Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 My wife is a Yankees fan; no Yankees, guess who picks up the slack?
4_kidd_4 Posted July 13, 2020 Posted July 13, 2020 I definitely missed the real playoff hockey. We’ll see what this here NHL tourney looks like (three MTL Canadiens are positive for covid already). And no March Madness sucked. NHL Playoffs and NCAA hoops gets me through the spring into summer. As for the rest, meh. I’m casual baseball, don’t really care about pro hoops, and if the Bills weren’t in Buffalo, I probably wouldn’t follow NFL at all.
