Yeah it's more of thing that many people have as a kind of 'habit' that they're conditioned to.
It's weird, for sure.
I'm baffled that people see it as some sort of struggle to not have it, may not be able to go on vacation etc.

I have on very rare occasion found myself watching golf. That is usually immediately followed by me taking a hard look at my life.
ESPN be like
Doubt this matters yet for ESPN.
Pre-COVID-19 ESPN planned programming for April:
- 60% Tom Brady Watch
- 35% Debating whether or not Dak Prescott is a franchise QB
-5% Other
Now, ESPN April programming for April becomes:
- 63% Tom Brady Watch
- 36% Debating whether or not Dak Prescott is a franchise QB
- 1% Other
Nah. There's still NFL free agency and the draft to talk about and they can fill in the rest of the programming with reruns of World's Strongest Man competitions.
Nope. I've never seen Mad Men or The Sopranos. I got a lot of content to burn through before I resort to watching someone else play a video game. Now get the hell off my lawn.
They better at least let me play golf. I swear to god if they shut down the course once it gets nice out...
They oughta show old NCAA tourney classics.
Yeah, I don't know. Decent chance that ISU pops up in a few of those games, and always on the wrong end. I'd rather watch caber tossing.
Only thing would be in the big upsets per ISU's seeds, they were really ugly games...not exactly classics.
I'm thinking games featuring future NBA Players, dynasties like early 90's Duke or UNLV from the late 80s, etc.
Get Bill Walton to do the play-by-play and I'm in.
Usually the only kind of dead time for me is mid June after the NBA Finals through right around the end of July when football training camps ramp up.
This is an odd time for sure but you're right; for those of us who don't follow baseball much it isn't the first time we've gone a long time with nothing much going on in the sports world.
Struggle is extreme, but it is okay for people to miss something that provides an escape for them. I’m baffled by people who don’t get that and get all judgmental.
I can get caught up on Better Call Saul, and subsequently the Breaking Bad/Better Call Saul movie that just came out on Netflix. Might as well run thru Breaking Bad again too.
"That was the 4th worst toss in this history of this storied sport"
I've also never seen Game of Thrones (no real desire to) but it's there if I need it.
Good idea. Maybe I'll do the one time monthly charge of $4.99 for AMC Premiere so I can get caught up on Better Call Saul. I've been just waiting for it to be released on Netflix, but desperate times call for desperate measures.
