Day 2 of working from home and it must be going good. I started working almost an hour early. #SocialDistancing

Today in Sports: March 17

1940 For the first time in NHL history, one line (Boston’s Milt Schmidt, Woody Dumart and Bobby Bauer) finished 1-2-3 in NHL scoring. 1955 In Montreal, there was a seven-hour riot that caused more than $1 million in damage. Canadien fans were upset because NHL President Clarence Campbell had suspended Rocket Richard for attacking an official during a fight in a game on March 13. 1998 The United States beat Canada 3-1 to win the first gold medal for women’s hockey.

This photo showed up in my timeline for today. Since I think it’s absolutely adorable, I’m sharing it.

Sports held hostage: Day 5

Today hasn’t been too bad. There has been lots of sports to keep my mind occupied. The NFL has lots of movement going on. Dak gets the franchise tag for the Cowboys. This could be a good thing or it could be really bad. The Bills got a number one receiver though. That’s what I’m happy about as they trade for Stefon Diggs. Many people felt like the Bills were one top receiver away last season.

Today in Sports: March 16

With the sports world shut down, I thought it might be fun to do some different stuff on my morning sports report. Besides my daily Sports Held Hostage Report, I thought it would be fun to talk about different things that happened in the sports world on this day in history. Then I thought it would be fun to bring it to my blog. So here is today in Sports History:

Sports Held Hostage: Day 4

Another day of doing absolutely nothing. Unless you call watching movies all day doing something. If you do then I did a ton today. It’s been raining off and on and it’s a bit chilly outside. Started this morning watching an episode of Witcher. Then I cooked breakfast (biscuits, gravy and chicken sausage). After that I watched the 2009 movie Watchmen. The. The 1989 version of Batman. Then it was Jumanji: The Next Level.

Sports Held Hostage: Day 3

Today was a weird day. I didn’t do much. Laid around and watched movies. The wife and I went to the grocery store last night and the sight was crazy. There wasn’t a ton of people there but the shelves were completely empty in places. I saw one couple walking to their car with three buggies packed full of groceries. Not judging. I don’t know how much they normally consume.

Sports Problems!

I’ve had lots of people the last couple of days joke around with me about “what am I going to do now that sports is cancelled.” Let’s be honest for a second, though. This is a way that I make money. Not a lot but it is used. But what about the other people? The people that do this for a full time job. The people that write and cover sports.

Sports report was different this morning. And not in a good way. Be prepared for more of this over the next month.

∞

With more free time at night, I guess I could work on writing my book.

∞

Number one thing you hear right now with all of this happening is “wash your hands” and “use your brain”. Enter Rudy Golbert. Obviously, the latter part of that didn’t compute with him.

∞

Seems like a foregone conclusion that the NHL will suspend the season going forward. I know we’ll find out more today but it just seems inevitable.

PA announcing at a high school baseball game last night. Panther with a walk off win in the 7th on senior night.

Another reminder on how short life is. Don’t take any day for granted.

I wonder how many more festivals and/or get togethers will start being cancelled due to the coronavirus. SXSW last week in Austin. What’s next?

Obviously, I love the Bills Mafia, but this just takes it to a whole new level. #BillsMafia

Sports as a Side Hustle!

This was an absolutely crazy week for me. Last Sunday, I was sitting the press box of an XFL game 120 miles away. On Monday night, I covered a local high school softball game. Tuesday found me 45 miles away doing a college basketball broadcast. Friday I was back at that same location doing a high school basketball broadcast. On Saturday, I drove 100 miles to watch a hockey game (as a fan).

As a sports fan, I will tell you that I go through extreme emotions with my team. For instance, two weeks ago the Dallas Stars were going to win the Stanley Cup. You could bank on it. No doubt. However, today, they’re not even making the playoffs.

I need therapy.

Glad it’s Friday. It’s been a crazy, hectic week full of sports and more sports. XFL game on Sunday, HS softball Monday, College basketball Tuesday, HS Basketball tonight, and NHL hockey tomorrow afternoon.

Crazy couple of days:

Friday: Basketball Broadcast
Sunday: XFL Media
Monday: High School Softball
Tuesday: College Basketball broadcasting
