Sports this 'n' that

To follow up on an entry from yesterday, ESPN is reporting that the NBA will, in fact, resume July 31, and that the 2020-1 season will be delayed until----get this----December 1, which doesn't leave much time, as indicated yesterday, for an off-season.
====================================
New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees was in the center of a firestorm over some remarks about the practice of players kneeling during the national anthem. Brees walked back the remarks and apologized over the last two days, saying he realizes now it's never been about the flag, but rather racial inequality and police brutality.

The response from Washington? What do you think?



President Trump decided that the protests on the sidelines were about disrespecting the flag, but it's anything but, and he knows it, but won't admit it. The real-life Archie Bunker, who's about as athletic as a ball of putty, won't back down from his stance, if only because to do so would cost him his voter base of gullible suburbanites, and cost him re-election.

NFL training camps don't open until the end of July, but the Watt brothers (Houston's JJ, & Pittsburgh's TJ & Derek) have been staying busy between commercials for Subway and hosting Fox's new series, Ultimate Tag, which would be the network's answer to ABC's Holey Moley, except in this case taking a childhood game and turning it into an elaborate game show set that would make Nickelodeon jealous.

Reviews are coming.
