Every major sports team should play one 'secret game' a year that is only broadcast in the event of a global pandemic

My idea is that every single year going forward... every single team in every major sport... have to play one secret game a year that no one will talk about will sign NDAs in case of like this where sports just stop we can play it. Think about being able to just pull up all of a sudden you're watching MJ in the Bulls in their prime and you're like that game never existed until I'm just watching it now. There should absolutely be a secret stash of games out there that are ready and never been [seen] in case of an emergency.

This is a subjective proposal for how sports leagues should operate, though obviously no leagues have implemented it.

The sports void will feel better once the usual March Madness window passes

I think it will get better after two weeks when we aren't in the March Madness Zone, but Thursday morning. I'm going to need you all to text me and check in check in with your friends, because that's going to be a tough one for me to wake up.

The 'sports void' didn't really get better in two weeks; it arguably got worse as people realized the long-term nature of the pandemic, though the initial sting of missing the tournament did fade.

Bored NFL owners and GMs will make crazy trades during the quarantine

I predict that just out of sheer boredom from some of these owners and GMs, they're going to be some crazy trades that happen. They're just going to happen because the other owners and the other GMs are just like we need some action going on. I'm bored. Let's fucking pick up the phone and make some weird Arrangements.

The DeAndre Hopkins trade to the Cardinals happened on March 16, 2020, the same day this released, and was considered one of the 'craziest' trades in recent history.

Odell Beckham Jr. would have been the Rudy Gobert of the NFL regarding coronavirus

Actually Odell Beckham like he we talked about Rudy Gobert on Friday, but he definitely would have been the Rudy Gobert of NFL. He would have caught a touchdown and put on a mask and gloves and then like wait, where'd you get that? Like, I actually I just got it from like the training staff who got it from a hospital. Whoops. Now, I have coronavirus.

This is a subjective character comparison that cannot be strictly proven, although OBJ did not have a 'Gobert' moment.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

The 2026 World Cup final is likely still pending or just occurring around the episode date.

The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.
