Sports this 'n' that

I found it amusing that Tom Brady got himself in trouble with Tampa police earlier this week.

Brady decided to use a local park to work out, despite the fact that city parks are closed due to COVID-19. The cops came along, and Brady was politely asked to vacate the premises, which he did. He was given an appearance ticket, from what I understand, but I'd be willing to guess he gave the officers some autographs in exchange.....!
=================================
But can he play golf?

Brady and former NFL nemesis Peyton Manning will meet again, this time on the golf course, as part of a made-for-TV event with a couple of guys who know a little something about 18 hole showdowns---Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods.

The event is set to air on TNT next month, likely to be sponsored by Nationwide Insurance, so we will also suffer through more of Manning's silly Jingle Sessions ads with country singer Brad Paisley.

It's just too bad you can't fast-forward live TV.
====================================
Notre Dame women's basketball coach Ann "Muffet" McGraw announced her retirement on Wednesday, two years removed frome leading the Irish to a NCAA title. Former assistant Niele Ivey is being promoted to head coach for the 2020-21 season.
====================================
Major League Baseball has completed its investigation into the Boston Red Sox and allegations of sign stealing during their 2018 World Series run.

Then-manager Alex Cora, who was dismissed in January, will be suspended for the 2020 season, assuming there is one, for his role in the Houston Astros' 2017 scandal. Boston also loses a video manager, also suspended for 2020, and a 2nd round draft pick in the June 1st year player draft.

Seems a little light in comparison to the punishment handed out to Houston.
=====================================
The NFL is banking on higher than normal ratings for their draft, which begins tonight. The first rounds will be broadcast on ABC, ESPN, and NFL Network. The draft is being conducted remotely due to COVID-19, which will be unique in and of itself. Everyone is assuming Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow (LSU) will end up with Cincinnati as the heir apparent to Andy Dalton. We'll have to wait & see.....
