Zoom happy hours suck and the novelty wore off in two weeks

Zoom happy hours. Remember when people tried to make that a thing? Everyone acted like, oh, we don't see our friends, so let's do a happy hour on Zoom. And then I think people did it for like a week or two... Everyone realized it sucked.

Opinion Life Mild

This is a widely shared sentiment regarding the early 2020 quarantine experience.

The NBA Bubble won't feel weird until the conference finals

I actually think it's not going to be that weird to start. But once we get into, like, the conference finals, it's going to be fucking bizarre to have, like, games go on with no fans and just, like, big, big moments happen to, you know, 20 people in the room.

Prediction Basketball Mild

The Bubble atmosphere was widely regarded as bizarre throughout, but the lack of crowd noise in the NBA Finals (Lakers vs Heat) was particularly noted by fans and media.

LeBron James will put 'James Sr.' or 'Father of Three' on the back of his NBA jersey

This would be – it would be so LeBron if he came out with a James Sr. on the back of his jersey... Or just father of three. Very tasteful... Father of – and then Roman numerals probably.

Prediction Basketball MediumSarcastic

LeBron James chose not to wear a social justice message on his jersey at all, keeping his name 'James' on the back.

NFL games will be played on Saturdays if college football is canceled

If there's no college football on Saturdays... they're probably going to play a lot of NFL games on Saturdays.

Prediction Football Medium

While some college conferences postponed, the season ultimately happened, and the NFL did not significantly move regular-season games to Saturdays beyond their usual late-season window.
