    Seems like something written to get some clicks, nothing more. We are a very selfish country, let’s get that straight. We will not be shutting down until a vaccine is made that’s the bottom line. Even if the government orders it, eventually more and more people will start to rebel. 12-18 months? No way. People will not be listening to this order come June if it is still active and in the Midwest the weather is actually good for the 2-3 months we get. Too much talk about a vaccine that might never happen, the key is getting a treatment method for this thing. Think on a smaller scale, if they aren’t letting pro sports play in at minimum an empty stadium for 18 months, I guess that means there is no little league, beer leagues, high school sports for just as long. I think that is just unlikely as we are only a month into this thing and people are already antsy, try telling them they have to be in their house for 17 more months. Won’t happen.

        A few yrs back... Brock owed Sammy 500.00 for an offline basketball bet

        Was tracking him down... finally Brock told Sammy to call his wife for the $$$ -- NO , not making that up What sort of a 'man' would do that?

        Sammy called her... what a story Sammy got But the best new was... Sammy got his $$$

          Just re-booked my Vegas trip.

          Was scheduled to go May 5-10


          Just bought airline tickets for July 28-August 2nd.

          Looking forward to MLB games at the Aria sports book. Might do an all-dayer at Westgate, too.

              Nothing is a sure thing but if they’re currently playing pro baseball games in Taiwan with no fans, MLB games with no fans in 3.5 months is probably not as unlikely as you think.

              Optimism.

                word is the players do not want to be away from their families for an extended time. also there is the issue of every day testing.

                Realism.

                  Do you have a link?

                  I assumed that immediate family would be included in MLB’s plan for quarantined games.

                  I’ve read many of your posts on what the future holds in relation to COVID-19. You’re outlook is pessimistic. Mine is not.

                  All good. To each his own.

                      i just know the science part. hearing ppl talk about "fast tracked" vaccines is laughable. minimum 12 to 18 months for safety of vaccine because there are at minimum 3 levels of testing that have to occur: animals. small control group. larger group. the humans have to be tracked for at least one year to see how their immune systems react.

                      anyway, here's some info on the MLB players' feelings

                          Great athletes yes, but not immune to the emotional turmoil that is happening close to home. Young kids who excell in sports, yes, and they're just smart enough to realize they are not immune to everything involved that comes from/with Corona.

                                    Article points out that more guys were willing to go on record (Nolan Arenado for example) supporting the plan than were against it.

                                          It will be a miracle if we have football this year

                                          There's absolutely no way any sports will have any fans in the stands

                                                    Article points out that more guys were willing to go on record (Nolan Arenado for example) supporting the plan than were against it.

                                                    The Chinese Basketball Association, which had hoped to resume play April 15, is postponing its season until at least July, sources told ESPN's Jonathan Givony.

                                                      July is the magic month for sure.

                                                      That’s when I believe MLB will start playing regular season games.

                                                        in terms of team sports, baseball makes the most to start first sense due to physical distance between the players.

                                                        they will have stop spitting tobacco all over the place though LOLOL

                                                            You still can have sports.College sports would be tough but with all other sports you can figure out a way to play with or with out fans later this year.But just don't have a true champion. If baseball Hockey and Nba start and finish the season just say they won the Nba Tournament for 2020 or Say Nhl Don't call them Stanley cup champion but 2020 Nhl champion.Then Comeback in 2021.

                                                              i agree but with testing largely unavailable to the masses i don't think the optics are good for athletes to get tested every day while average jane's and joe's cannot get tested even once. not a good look for the leagues, and believe me, they know this. PR is a big deal.

                                                              no sports before August or Sept imo
