I saw a discussion about it on ESPN. They were suggesting the 2 players should be suspended a game to teach a lesson to not do these kinds of things as they can cause issues like this.

Are the Summer Olympics really going to happen? The latest update on what's being done in Japan in regards to Covid-19 and the games.

Given what is happening there I'm not too confident. I'm just glad corporations there were able to figure out the work from home situation for their employees as so many apartments in Japan aren't large enough to have a work space in them like the ones here in the US.

On that though, Sean Farnham was calling the BYU/Gonzaga game from his son's bedroom last night. He kicked his son out of his room on a school night!

Let's hope they do better this year at keeping Covid-19 cases down. Of the 4 major pro sports they were the worst last year, even with a very short season.

I heard Mark Few say something interesting to SVP when asked about opting out of conference tournaments. He mentioned that it has been floated about by the WCC not to hold their tournament in Vegas, but instead they'd play their games in Spokane which could mean it going back to on campus homes due to Covid. I can see how this would help if any team had an outbreak in protecting the tournament team locks for the different conferences out there.
