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.
