So much to get to so many people to talk to as well

we will dive into the news in college hoops today with oklahoma state and what that could mean

with other programs dealing with the fbi and the federal investigation that went down we also will

dive in and talk some college football, talk some NFL. But Chris,

we start out today with the NBA, because it's the league that we have that we know the most about

when it comes to returning to action. And it's not business as usual, but we know when games are

going to be played. We know where they're going to be played. We just don't know if the 70-year-old coaches will be allowed to be on the sidelines or where the teams are going to stay. But other than that, I think that the NBA has got everything going for it. We don't know who's going to play who. We don't know when they're going to play. But by God, we know that we have a season coming up. We know that

it's a little under two months away from finally getting restarted. And, you know, we can talk

about not matchups yet, but how we see teams playing out, how we see maybe if there is a such

thing as taking three and a half months off and there is a benefit to it. I don't know. It's almost like starting a whole season all over. But Dan, I'm excited to get into it today. There's so much still mystery. I'm kind of, I'm not real smart when it comes to trying to figure out brackets and trying to make sense of all of this. And I'm looking at the standings right now.

And I think to myself, wow, wizards get in by the skin of their teeth, but they've got some work to do to even gain that eight, nine matchup. And it's a mess in the West. So I don't really know what's going on, but I know we've got three hours to try to figure it out here today. Yeah, and one of the things that struck me when looking at the 22 team layout

and what we're going to have when the season resumes in Orlando is a lot of these teams basically,

I don't know, 17 games, 15 games to play.

When you're looking at the overall sense of the league, somewhere around 15 to 20 games left,

that's obviously going to be shortened by about 12 games.
