Just add it to the list of things that are done thanks to the coronavirus. I can’t believe the turn of events we’ve seen in the past 24 hours.
I wish I had good things to tell you, and I wish I could hype you all up right now. I enjoy doing that and I know it’s what you look to me for.

The reality is that I have nothing good to say here. We’ve lost the NBA, we’ve now lost the NHL and March Madness is almost certainly next.
It’s a terrible time in America, and you’d have to be an idiot to disagree.
