    Can you imagine NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL players wearing masks when playing? It could happen.

    You'll end up with 5 or 6 more kids.

    We'll start our own sports.

    With blackjack and hookers.

    Was kind of thinking today, I think sports the world shutting down has been weird. I missed them for a little bit, but at this point, Ive adjusted if they never came back. Id have fun talking about the history of the games, but Id be ok without it. Found Ive got plenty of other things to do.

    Well, yeah...I could survive without sports. Or without movies. Or without other humans.

    But it's nice to have those things. Except other humans.

    They will come back. I just don't think it will be this or next year. Maybe 2022.

    Which would be almost a 67% drop. Seems like we should get at least a 50% drop in gas, which in WA would put it at $1.25. We are still at $2.30. I guess refining and transportation costs may be more fixed and then taxes also. Then how about 25% drop? That should bring it down to $1.88 (which many parts of the country already have); isn't that reasonable?

    I think if / when they do come back this experience has probably helped me see my priorities a bit better. Don't think I'll be watching nearly as much.

    I know it's hard but let's try to keep the political posts out of this thread and is the virus thread in the OT section for them.

    You did nothing wrong, just many would like to keep the sports side free of politics as much as possible.

    Well come to think of it doesn't "Golf" classify as a sport?
