Captain Tripps...err...the coronavirus has caused the NBA to suspend their season. What about the mass celebration of the NFL Draft host city? I think I even heard that March Madness will happen without fans in the stands?

I think there is a fair chance the NFL holds the draft with no fans in attendance.

NFL won't suspend the draft but they will do it behind closed doors.

The draft can happen remotely. The crowd and players all being there isnt the point.

It would be a 1970's style draft. Maybe Mel Kiper can get cussed out by a GM again...

I think the Coronavirus will die down by the end of April just like it has in China after two months

Thank God that viruses like the flu die out when it gets hot like the regular flu. Yet, I am concerned about the 2nd generation of the coronavirus which could be better than this version, or horribly worse....during the end of the NFL season.

I believe the NBA suspended it's games because of the close confinement in the locker rooms, after the one player was discovered to have the virus.

I don't think the draft would be cancelled since there's no locker room containment involved, but they may do it without fans in the stands.

big brand new stadium empty...typical Ram luck....
What would be even worse is if the Rams had the dream season, and were hosting the NFCCG when the NFL cancelled the season against an even stronger version of Capt. Tripps in January 2021

Nothing to unite world together than a deadly virus outbreak

Leave it to an invisible bug to do what mankind has failed to do on their own

Not directed at you @dieterbrock, but I have a couple years on you, and it is NEVER going to change, because the human race is made up primarily of uninformed, self absorbed fuckheads, and fuckheadettes, who don’t give a shit about anything but themselves, and never have, and never will.

Without naming names, there is a single entity in the US responsible for all the discord. Or so the story goes.

So who exactly were all the people buying 20 bottles of Purel, at the expense of the other 18 that would have liked to have a bottle or 2.

Must have been the deplorables

Point is, and ALWAYS will be, it’s about #1, and theirs, and always will be.

Cumbaya.

Personally, I am enjoying the shit out of this whole charade, and am dumping every dime I have into the Market.

I got hurt pretty badly during the last shitstorm, wishing I had a few bucks to invest when the market tanked.

Well it’s tanking again, and I got some bucks.
Thank you Lord, Thank you Jesus.

(I don’t usually drink, but when I do, I post).
