Dana White being forced to cancel UFC events makes me very nervous about the return of sports

The UFC canceling their next pay-per-view is making me scared... when Dana White has to adhere to the rules makes me a little nervous.

The UFC did eventually return on May 9, 2020, becoming the first major sport to do so, though many other sports remained cancelled for months.

Bill Belichick won't care about Gronk leaving; he will just view it as getting a draft pick for nothing

There's not a single person better equipped to have like two of his star players leave him willingly than Bill Belichick... He'll probably get a great draft pick for and just keep moving on like not even think about... he would absolutely get something for nothing because Rob's not coming back to play.

The Patriots traded Gronkowski and a seventh-round pick to the Buccaneers for a fourth-round pick on April 21, 2020.

The traditional post-game handshake in sports will likely never return

My fire fest of the week is I don't think that they're going to be any more hockey handshakes at the end of Big Time Stanley Cup Playoff Series because Dr. Fauci said that he doesn't think the handshakes ever go to I'm back. I'm happy about this... It absolutely is weird. If it was any other part of your body that you did this with it would be bizarre.

While handshakes did mostly return to sports, the initial post-COVID period saw a significant decrease in their frequency and the rise of alternatives like fist bumps.

Dayton would have beaten Kansas to win the National Championship this year

I think they can beat Kansas... having a rematch with the national player of the year, the national Coach of the Year, a mid-major. When's the last time a mid-major won a national championship? It's been a long time.

Subjective as the tournament was canceled, though Kansas was the #1 overall seed and Dayton was likely a #1 seed.

The Brewers' pressure created their 'lucky' breaks

That's not luck. That's just the Brewers and what they did to you mentally, where it's like you have to be perfect and almost made teams just become a worse version of themselves because of what the Brewers were doing to them.

This is an evaluative baseball argument rather than a claim with one definitive result.

The Bears are building around Jeffrey Simmons correctly

Jeffrey Simmons is an absolute game wrecker. Top three at his position, changes everyone around him. The Bears had a weakness in their defense, especially run defense. They made it a strength.

The assessment of Simmons' impact and positional ranking is partly subjective and will depend on his Chicago performance.

I thought they could win the Super Bowl before Jeffrey Simmons. Now I really do.
