I’m a big consumer of sports. I read newspaper sports sections, I watch sporting events on TV, I listen to sports talk radio. Now there is no sports to watch,listen or read about. Gonna be a long few weeks or months.

You’ll be busy shopping for a new boat, you won’t have time for sports,,,,

True dat. 
Got another bite this afternoon, so maybe I can land one of the two. Or maybe not.

I was just getting back in tune with warm weather,sunshine,and baseball on the radio.
2 out of 3 ain’t bad
I’ve been taping every fishing show that I can find on the outdoor channel
I’m with ya, I miss it. Yesterday I uttered the phrase at work “I’m going to ESPN’s website just cause I have no idea what they’ll have.” Who even knows when large-scale events will resume, or maybe they ease back into things. Wit the backlog of some sports that still may (?) finish (NBA, NHL) and those about to start (MLB) or start their newsworthy offseason (NFL) it’s gonna be like a dam broke and the floodwaters hit.
I hope you’re staying up with your wrestling, Dutch.
Thinkin Rasslin will cancel right after wrestlemania.
lets put together an old farts club softball game somewhere,I aint afraid to go outside !!
I would rather die from a stroke while having fun than worrying about something on tv or some danged old forum!
I think Dutchboy that if you would of had the foresight,you could of sold tickets to be able to watch you push snow back across the road to barricade yourself in !!
not so much for that,but to see if the county guy would stop by and start a fight with you,my money is on you.

I don’t see how they even make it there. The state of Florida may force their hand.
Sheldon you would lose your money. Besides my barricade seems to be shrinking by the day. Whoda thunk snow would melt like this in the middle of March. What happened to the March snowstorms anyway? 
we are overdue for a March snowstorm,the trace we got today melted as soon as it hit the ground,but,we are only halfway through and then April can delve out a whopper once in a while.
now about that ballgame?? gotta get it in before I get too much busier,already resealed two lower units,have a complete new one sitting there to replace for next week,completely disassembled Klang’s 115 four stroke and have it back together and running last night.
waiting on a new motor for another boat I am working on,all new controls,steering cable,etc. and then there are the cars/trucks and tires tires tires!!
My knees aren’t too bad, I’m in for a geezer softball game.
isnt one of our fellow members here a medic?? he can bring the defib unit !!
EPG can bring the crappie cakes for break time,lets see now,oh,anyone can bring their grandkids,kinda of a reverse little league game lol.
only this time the geriatric group gets to play !!
Denny O’s ankles are shot so hes out,who else cant play?? we might need you guys for carrying the rest of us off of the field,anyone got a lead on a truck load of ensure??
we can put the bases closer together so we dont have to run/walk/waddle so far.
Watched Friday Night Smackdown with my son last night. He likes wrestling for some reason, lol. Was bizarre to see the arena empty of any fans… definitely wasn’t the same.
For some reason? Haha I’ve always loved it since I was a kid, and now as an adult I blame it on being a MN sports fan. If it weren’t for watching pro wrestling I’d never get to see a championship.

Yes, me too. Although I try to stay diversified in all my interests, sports is at the top this time of year. Being the between season for fishing for me.
I was never a huge basketball fan, but I always sucked into the NCAA March Madness. Fan of the sport or not, the colossal upsets of a #14 seed knocking off a #2 was drama. Cinderella stories every year.
That and all hockey is done too.
I was wondering if the paper would even have a sports section at all in the near future.

They better! Even if those 8 pages are all blank. Some of us have that figured into our TP inventory! No sports section means my family uses another half roll per day!
My knees aren’t too bad, I’m in for a geezer softball game.
I predict a larger threat of death from an old geezer ball game than the CV… sorry guys I think its true.
I don’t think that should stop you guys though. Live life and have some fun!

WCCO radio has a all day Happy Birthday celebration for Sid Hartman tomorrow. He turns 100 and is still kickin. Love him or hate him Sid was covering sports before just about all of us were born.

truth never hurt anyone Joe,and you are right live life!!!!
you are challenging me in that now I want to kick this game up a notch and make it really fun!!
lets see now,a few tater cannons,tennis balls,some young dogs full of urine and vinegar,pick a base,touch off the tater cannon and let the dogs do the running!!
when the dog brings the ball back to the launcher at his base,score!!
move to the next base and fire again,this way us old farts dont have to run and worry about crapping between bases which would automatically disqualify the runner.
home runs only count if the dog catches the ball before it hits the ground.
misfires count as a miss,overloading the cannon as well as using ether,acetylene,hydrogen are grounds for disqualification as well as loading the tennis ball with tannerite and shooting it midair,no showboating !!
how else can we ramp this up a bit?
sorry Brian for derailing your thread,its been a long winter!!

Sid – like you said, love or hate, there is no denying his presence in MN sports media.
Sid stood the test of time!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SID!!!
I will miss the NHL, but warm weather and lots of fishing will lessen that. I really think this is blown so far out of proportion, has an almost stupid feel to it all.
I found a picture of Sid turning in his first column.

Sadly for most of us websites like this are about all we have to keep us occupied.
I’m starting to worry about spring’s annual fishing trip to Rainy Lake. Will resorts be forced to close? Who knows how crazy things will get. We may need a miracle before life gets back to normal.
Wishing you all make it through this.
I’m heading to Lake of the Woods tomorrow. So I’ll get my last ice fishing
trip in for the season.
The friend that I am going with called and wanted to know if we were still going. You can bet I told him that we were still on.
After the softball game next weekend I’m thinking of heading up top the pond with a package of schweigert tender bites and spend my last hardwater day catching giant pike.
Man, I got blanked today at the cabin. 7 spots, 50 holes, 7 miles, 6 to 45 fow, jiggin raps, tungsten and plastic. NOTHIN! Marked fish just about everyhole I punched.
I call I get to play 3rd and lead off!
