    The “Cletii” surly-ism on this thread is pretty lame.  I get that the current cultural trend is to put a name to our stereotypes, but at least pick an actual southern generic name or nickname. And for Pete’s sake, stop using the incorrect fake Latin plural, that is unless you think the name “Cletius” is common among ignorant southern racists who harbor Chris Kyle sheepdog murder fantasies.  

    Why don't you suck our penii?

    I know, right? I can't believe all of these corporations that are begging for government handouts after a couple of months of low profits. 

    True. This speaks to a much larger problem in the US. Everyone is overextended. From main street to Wall Street. Very few companies are made to weather a storm like this. Few families have built up savings to weather a job loss or downturn. We're a consumption based society. We have entire industries built on this. And now we've seen what happens when there's a stop down in those industries.

  3. Fox is losing the rights when the season is over. They do not want to sell a league for another network. Also, the Fox Studios are in California which was a lot more restricted than other places. They've furloughed a lot of their staff and talent.

  4. I'd imagine it will just be like in the Bundesliga where a Union Berlin player was positive. Match still occurred. Player sat out and they made a casual reference on the broadcast when they went through the lineups.

  5. Premier League statement on return to training

    The Premier League released the following statement on Monday afternoon.

    Premier League Shareholders today voted unanimously to return to small group training from tomorrow afternoon – the first step towards restarting the Premier League, when safe to do so.

    Step One of the Return to Training Protocol enables squads to train while maintaining social distancing. Contact training is not yet permitted.

    This first stage has been agreed in consultation with players, managers, Premier League club doctors, independent experts and the Government. Strict medical protocols of the highest standard will ensure everyone returns to training in the safest environment possible.

    The health and wellbeing of all participants is the Premier League’s priority, and the safe return to training is a step-by-step process. Full consultation will now continue with players, managers, clubs, the PFA and LMA as protocols for full-contact training are developed.

  6. That Presidio to Terlingua river road drive through Big Bend SP is so great. One of my favorite things we did on our recent trip before this all went to hell. You can also go up to Fort Davis and do the mountain loop.

  7. A place with a nice drive seems to be the best bet in the short term. It would be nice to be in the Pacific Northwest or Northern California for that, assuming you just stick to the drive since most of the places along the way will still be locked down. Doing the full PCH drive would be ideal.

  8. For National Parks, I'd guess it would depend on if they limit the amount of vehicles in and out per day. If they do it like state parks here, there's no overnights which limits things even more. So it would be a mad rush every morning to get in unless they do reservations. Who the hell knows at this point. I'd love to knock some National Parks off this summer but I think it's going to be either nut to butt or incredibly difficult to even get inside. Or just a straight up free for all. We may just see about hitting some state parks with swimming options this summer. 

  9. They've been training since early to mid April. A soccer show I listen to occasionally on the Ticket likened this to summer preseason matches. It might take a few games to get their bodies back into match form.
