Well Woj if Espn reporting that play will resume but not today. I wonder what actions and or changes the players were promised to resume play. If any at all. 
 

I also wonder how many of these guys just mentally broke. I know they are in a 5 star resort and all that but not being able to see your family not being able to go anywhere but around the bubble I wonder if that turned out to be harder than these guys thought it would be and everything that’s going on pandemic and otherwise and they just mentally broke. 

I don’t know maybe that’s just a soft way of thinking. Just a thought that crossed my mind.

Serious question. If the ratings continue to remain down.  Should the networks request a renegotiation of their contracts ?

I’m sure they could try.

Had to research for the reason behind the boycott.  Here it is :

NBA postpones Wednesday's playoff games as players protest shooting of Jacob Blake

Is the NBA digging a hole.... they won't be able to get out of ?

Well if you go by the ratings down in the bubble they are already in that hole. I think the ESPN games are down 10% and the TNT are down 40%

All playoff games today boycotted 

The NBA spun it in their release that they are postponing all games today in light of the bucks boycott. 

Also if you have Alexa here are bunch of funny Easter eggs you can try.

This made me laugh for days when I first did it. I made all my friends with iPhones do it as well.

Frontline Dr's no longer to share their expertise? They worried China might benefit? That is seriously wrong. 

If you want to watch it go to Breitbart. They are the ones who live-streamed the video in the first place. 

So today on the radio show Todd Leary co-host revealed he got COVID-19 and is on the tail end of it today. 

Whatever you think of the virus this to me just screams of ignorance.

Thank you, she was such a great pup. Larger than life for such a little dachshund. It's been a week today, so slowly recovering.

Have you ever heard of the rainbow bridge short story/poem? It’s something you should read if you haven’t. It’s a kind of nice thing to read after losing a good pup. 

@Lostin76 sorry to hear about your dog man. That’s a tough blow and hard to deal. Sorry for your loss.

My understanding. Is upon launch. It will be just for three hours, daily.  Having said that. I am highly interested.  And will be setting a reminder to tune in September 1.  Time will tell.  It would be refreshing to just get the news again. 

Yes it will. For sure.

To clear up my above statement. I think it's very possible, but it's hard when extremes muddy the water. The people who choose to believe the extremes will never believe what is neutral. 

This is true. Unfortunately.

In all honesty he would be at or near the top of my list of artists. Ayden has rapped a couple times at school talent show under the name Slim Ady.  Clean versions for him of course. Metallica and Eminem were my go to as a player and coach pre game 

Last response on this so I don’t hijack the thread but that’s awesome. Slim Ady love that. Eminem is one of my favorite artists as well.

Really like his music. Wife and i went to his concert earlier this year.  Great time. I ain't going nowhere is 1 of 2 songs that I remember exact moment I heard it for the first time. Brings tears to my eyes because I lost my father when I was a senior in high school and it also makes me think about life without my kids or their lives without me. Luke Combs, Garth Brooks,  mellencamp, eminem and a few others I stop the dial if any of their songs are on

Not to derail this thread but I would have never guessed you to be an Eminem fan. That’s awesome.

Our main water park just outside of Denver, announced a couple of days ago, that they will not be opening up at all this year. 

Not to make too much light of the situation but COVID-19 is not the only thing I worry about floating around in public pools.....

Woo-Hooo..... Let's give it up for Indiana's Governor, Eric Holcomb! He has sped up Phase 3 by 2 days for the Memorial Day week-end. Malls, Gyms, and other retail outlets, as well as pools and campgrounds can re-open tomorrow, Friday (or Friyay!!!).

Man it's great to be a Hoosier!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  😁

Aren’t the pools in Evansville staying closed for the 2020 season though?

Our church. Has a prayer list. But for now we only attend on line. Would have put her on the list. But can't for now.  Therefore, instead of putting your wife on our prayer list.  I will be saying a prayer for her tonight.

Thank you for your very kind words.  And I am pleased you liked the joint flyovers over NYC.  I thought the cockpit views were spectacular. 

Thank you mile. That means more than you know.

Hey skim. Hi. I hope you are doing well.

Here's a vid of them over Atlanta.  After, what I believe was a joint flight over New York City.

Blue Angels and Thunderbirds Fly Together Over New York City 

By the way.... I believe you will love this video.

Salute To The Frontline: The Blue Angels And The Thunderbirds Flyover Atlanta 

The Thunderbirds started these tributes in Colorado. After graduation at the academy.  They flew up and down the front range.  And over my house.

Hey Mile! Thanks doing well I was deemed an essential worker so I have luckily or unlucky depending on how you look at things been going to work every day since all this started so been trying to be extra careful when going out for groceries and the like because my wife is a diabetic with kidney disease and was actually in the hospital back in February with pneumonia so trying to avoid that again. Anyway enough with the dark things. Thanks for those videos. That was awesome to see. Also on a personal note thanks for always checking on us HSN members. You always make it feel very welcoming and warm here. You’re a very caring soul and we need more of that around these days.

Cool.

And I understand that the Geico Skytypers flew over NYC today.

GEICO Skytypers Airshow 

Love these tributes to our front liners.

Another cool thing I saw and I can’t find any links right now but maybe someone can. The Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds did joint flyovers in some cities to tribute the front line workers.
