Marlins are back to playing games and up 3-0 on the Orioles in the 6th. It is good to see them playing again. The game was delayed for nearly 2 hours waiting on virus test results which all came back negative for their remaining 13 players from opening day.

I think this would be bigger news if they were still a Power 5 team and not Group of 5. It will be interesting to see if any Power 5 teams follow them despite what the conferences are saying.

Long time Boston/New England area sportswriter Jackie MacMullen just said on ESPN's Around The Horn show that the UConn football program lost 13 million dollars last year due to poor attendance, and that probably has something to do with their decision. The Huskies have done poorly since they moved up to FBS.

On a positive note, the World Rugby Hall Of Fame in England will reopen tomorrow after being closed since March. Rugby is the father of American football.
