Candidate's Cup. It's a chess tournament. There's a thread in SAS where Hand Knit has been posting observations. It's all way over my head but out of 8 competitors there's a single American so it gives me something to root for, however tenuous

It hasn’t set in yet for the vast majority of people that there wont be any sports until the Fall AT BEST. Honestly don’t know how people are going to deal with that.

If there's a second wave of corona Dos Equis then there won't be sports in the fall either.

It's going to be like every previous outbreak and once the panic passes and the occasional coronavirus-related death becomes normal to people, everything will start trending back toward normal with heightened paranoia about anyone who coughs or sneezes. The leagues are going to follow what their audiences want, and they'll want play resumed within I would guess two months, even if there's no live audience at first. Once panic starts to fade people crave normalcy, and one of the most normal things to Americans is sports.

Plus I'd have to think they're going to find some drug or combination of drugs that can mitigate the more severe effects of the virus IE fluid in the lungs that will sort of allow society to resume while we wait for the actual vaccine.

There won't be NFL this year.

There's probably going to be another wave of this in the fall, but even if you don't think that's going to happen, just think of all the things we're gonna start losing. OTAs, training camp, preseason, etc.

More coaches will catch this besides Payton. More players will start catching it because it's inevitable.

This is going to be a completely lost year for sports.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Tua went #2 or #3 at this point. Apparently his recovery went as well as it could have, and aside from Chase Young I don’t think anyone is better/plays a premium position like QB, DE, LT.

There was a time when I thought we could get Tua at #5 or maybe even #7, but now I think teams will come back around on him. He was the #1 overall earlier in the season after all.

Also no one will be playing football till 2021 so he'll have plenty of time to recover.

There’s been a few draftiks like Matt Miller speculating that Tua won’t have the ability to do on-sites or physicals in the lead up to the draft, which can hurt his draft position. Teams aren’t just going to take media reports of him being ahead of schedule as gospel.

WE ALL KNOW WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN

This is incredible.

quote:

Enter Randall Cobb, who caught 55 passes in Dallas last year. Though he was drafted in 2011, Cobb still has plenty of juice to make an impact, and in the 'spread out the production' department, he could be a good friend for Watson on third down and more. If the Texans played on Sunday, he'd be out there with Will Fuller V and Kenny Stills. Combining that talent with the rest of the potential pass catchers sounds enticing.

David Johnson, acquired in the Hopkins deal, will have a shot to rack up 1,000 yards and catch a bunch of passes. He and Duke Johnson are versatile and can cause big match-up problems in different formations.
