My bet is that contract will look like a hell of a bargain by the time it is up.

oh trust me, i feel the same way about it...

tells me he's thinking of the team, though...

That MLS situation is concerning. They were also in the bubble and a team just dropped out after having 10 players/ staff catch the virus since entering the bubble.....how does that even happen

All it takes is 1 to get it and spread to the others.

If their bubble is set up like the NBA’s with support staff coming in and out, that is probably how. Also, I would doubt their protocol is as strict as the NBA’s.

Heat's Leonard puts bubble into perspective

Howard to join Lakers, donate $700K from restart

That's why I've said and continue to say the constant testing is counterproductive to their goal.

If anyone should be tested daily its the workers that enter the bubble.

Maybe those animal names are offensive too.

Did anyone ask the Bulls if they were offended by the Chicago teams’ awful play?

Or if the Pelicans were offended because they aren’t as cool as Hawks?

20 years from now maybe it will just be “The Washington Football team”.

Like the Footballers overseas, do they actually have mascot names?

How is it counterproductive?

I agree daily workers need to be tested.

If you are testing players everyday, the idea is to catch the contagious player before he spreads it to his entire team and risks shutting down the whole season.

so...

now that Sir Patrck is signing a decade long deal with the Chiefs, i guess we'll see something about this for Cheesecake Baker. I mean, he's just as good, according to one lawyer...

Mayfield's a jackass no doubt. But it's pure insanity comparing him to the best player in the NFL.

Pimping up JR. Classic. Call a timeout!

Beal sitting out the restart. Claims its because of his shoulder, which is like the first time he's mentioned it.



Should have just started with the playoff teams anyway. We don't need to see the teams 9th on down.


Wizards' Beal (shoulder) won't play in NBA restart

A lot of players know they don't stand a chance in winning the title so are just sitting out.

While I completely understand that being away from your family for 3 months is an extremely hard thing to do, I have more respect for the players than have actually come out and said that was the reason for sitting out the season.

This whole "I have an injury" or "Sitting out because of racial injustice" is just complete bullshit.

Where they messed up was paying them either way. Seriously?

The league fucked up by letting 22 teams in. It should only be 16. Adding those 6 teams is only about one player, Zion. And I'd bet money they end up in the playoffs. It's what the league really wants. Rumor has it Tim Donaghy will ref all Pels games the remainder of the season.

whats the point of the wizards going to Florida?

I know everybody is looking forward to watching the Wizards now!

The league is probably wishing they reseeded 1-16. that way, Lillard, Zion and Ja could all potentially make the field.
