As COVID-19 continues to bring our world to a halt, we keep trying to do a sports podcast in an age of no sports. Results are appropriately chaotic, even if still a lot of fun. A first time as we have a four-person pod with Dave, Shea, Vince & Matt all on board! - We do start with sports chat, as we briefly discuss the glorious week of Australian footy action right before hard quarantine measures truly hit Australian shores. Vince watched more than most Australians. - Chat then moves to the more serious questions of just when will we see these leagues come back, if ever - as well as the financial implications for leagues, particularly the AFL & NRL in Australia looking at some extreme measures to try and keep their leagues afloat. - Then the chaos reigns. Beer pong against ourselves. Live from Owen's bar. How we're dealing with our isolation, the beers, the wines, the tv shows. Stick with us, there's some good banter and info in there somewhere. I think. What do you call tiny bottles of alcohol? You'll find out. That's content, people. I say grab a beer and join us every week, but this time it is absolutely essential.

Of course. - The tragedy of NCAA cancelling the rest of this year, both for basketball and the Spring sports athletes. - Just what do all the sports do to finish their seasons, and Dave posits the idea that maybe it is the next season that hasn't been played that should be voided rather than a season 3/4 through. - What can we bet on now? Australian Football is still running, or we bet on the Mad Max apocalypse. Crack a can and quarantine with us. We might be sane still.

We then discuss Vince's hometown Blazers, the Barkley pick to go to the NBA finals and just how good this Blazers team can be and the ever increasing greatness of Damian Lillard. The weird Golden State Warriors apathy is also on the cards, should there be a worry? (Hint: Probably not). We finish off with more MVP talk as the race heats up towards seasons end, and again just how the legacy of MVP winners are remembered. Blazers in 6.

We finish off with some talk on Liverpool and the EPL title race, as well as the groundbreaking lawsuit brought against US Soccer by the Women's National Team and what it means for the future of womens football.
