But it's easy enough to "screw them over" already without an unweighted lottery. It's what, around 80% that someone else gets it?

Sure, give them an opportunity to fix it and hand the top pick to Boston.

You really need to get with the times and look into a satellite. Sure it takes up my entire backyard, but I never have to worry about a Bills game being blacked out again.

I have an early morning tomorrow. Hopefully we get this one done in regulation so we can move on to game 7.

He loses points for the white claw though.

Ahhh crap, I typed it too quickly. He's a friend of one of his sons, not Darcy himself, but did speak very highly of Darcy. Apparently my neighbor spent some time in Buffalo in the early 2000s. Trust me when I say this, but knowing this guy's background, I have absolutely no idea why he would have ever been in Buffalo.

How was the Mr Roboto boss fights?

What else can sports writers do right now? They’re in 100% fantasy land right now, as Krupp put it

Today I learned that I’ll probably get pulled into covid research and that my neighbor is a good friend of Darcy. Busy day.

Plenty of the good stuff. I wouldn’t be grilling that crap for a month.

Hopefully that will be one positive to come from all of this. We'll be better prepared to deal with something in the future.

I was a bit bored so I decided to hit the grocery store. I had some fun in the meat department. I think I may be grilling every single day during this thing.

You've got me tempted to look into one of those mini nintendo things that were released a year or two ago. That would be fun right around now. For now, I'll stick with Injustice, which I just picked up last week. I pretty much hate the fighting games because I suck at them, but I'm a Batman junky so I had to grab that game all these years later. I recently read through the comic series, so I should at least see how that all ends.

There's going to have to be some negotiations between the league and the PA over this. The whole thing is uncharted territory for them. I suppose there's potential for some ugliness with any of the leagues, but I'd imagine both sides will want to do whatever they can to get things back up and running once that time comes. Any type of fight after all of this ends would be the ultimate in bad PR.

I spend most of my time trying to stop my wife from going crazy. So it’s just like any other day.

I was wondering how specific they would try to get. So it’s basically just a “we’re serious” message to some of the more stubborn people out there.

Being an outsider I don’t ever get to see this stuff, so I’ll have to take people’s word for it. There’s still plenty of time to correct that one.

It’s on every news broadcast. So that story is legit

Everyone is going to lose money thanks to this. The owners, just like every other person out there, don't want to lose money. Does this sort of reaction from them really surprise anyone?

So are you suggesting that the site at that link didn't provide all of the information? That's how all news sites work, picking and choosing and then slapping an attention grabbing headline on top. I didn't read it, don't have the time right now, but I'd suspect that the actual article linked there does get into that stuff.

No one in this country cared until the NBA shut down. People want their sports, so it's far from just a bunch of rich folks trying to make their money.

It's all from this board. Me personally, I've never run into the issue you mentioned, but I've seen enough stories to believe that the phones are definitely doing that.

Compared to most of the people up there at those press conferences each day, yeah, 54 is a young adult. They may want to consider finding someone younger to throw up there. I typically hate all the celebrity worship, but so many of these kids are so dumb that we may actually need to get a Kardashian up there with them. That's the only thing they listen to these days. Someone please feel free to replace that with a more relevant name. I have no idea what they are watching now.

All I get now are banner ads for surgical masks. I'd much rather deal with the targeted ads right now instead of those.

We've had this same exact response around here to every single college free agent signing since the Darcy days. It gets old. Organizations have to make these kind of signings too. Judging every single move through the same exact lens, it's pointless.
