For a day or two a day, it looked like it would work. Baseball was back and, although there were a lack of familiar summer sites, there were genuine players with bats and balls in addition to the cardboard cuts of teenagers and small dogs in the stands.

But there’s nothing nice about the coronavirus. And nothing wise in baseball’s careless reaction to the first b crisis of his boldest season of all time.

The Marlins are ready, or no less than they deserve. A deciquily team through the virus can’t even verify and continue, you accept the assumption that nine other group stations deserve to continue chasing a World Series call that involves less with a positive test.

Baseball deserves to be played, too. If there is one thing the epidemic has shown, it is that MLB’s plan to play the COVID-1nine pandemic was not only severely flawed, but lacked execution. The fact that the Marlins played in Philadelphia on Sunday with positive results in a return position is an accusation of the installed position of the baseball formula and how it was executed.

Yes, the league capable of starting to spin with the pandemic and no bubbles in place. This is probably the simplest component, as it will never finish the apple shape.

But baseball is now too deep to stop. Leaving the season is reportedly not an option for Commissioner Rob Manfred and the owners, at least until the optics of a coach or player on a fan make it unimaginable to continue plowing blindly.

A third of the Marlins who tested positive for the virus don’t seem to be just a cause for concern. It’s actually scary.

“I’m going to be fair to you, I’m afraid,” said Nationals manager Dave Martinez, who has a medium illness and whose team is scheduled to arrive in Miami and face the Marlins on Friday.

Mabig Apple other baseball players are also afraid. For a wise reason, since it seems that even a 113-page manual in the opposite combat of the virus is never very responsible for the patience with which it is printed.

“Part of the explanation I’m doing at home is because the physical condition of the players wasn’t a priority,” tweeted Dodgers pitcher David Price, who decided not to connect in the season. “I can see it hasn’t changed.”

It’s not just baseball, the game is direct to criticize. So far the limit is limited, but the question is whether a team game is also played in the middle of a furious pandemic.

There is a wonderful variety of other nervous Americans in Florida, where the NBA bubble can also burst at time of the block. The NHL is a safer segment of itself about opening the game after a week of negative testing, but it is preferable to note that the league plays in Canada, not the United States.

And then there’s the NFL, where the Minnesota Vikings’ head of infection tested positive when the players arrived at camp.

Bringing team sports to the middle of a pandemic was going to be a problem. Increasingly, however, it seems that this may be impossible.

Baseball players, no less than those with guaranteed places on the list, deserve to know if the game is a threat to their health. These threats are very real, because we know who heard Atlanta star Freddie Freeguy talk about praying that he doesn’t get caught when his fever reached 104 degrees five with the virus beyond this month.

Or when Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez returned to the game after a match with the virus to be covered with the resulting persistent median problems.

Or listen to the experts who saw it coming from the beginning.

“Baseball is in big trouble, a big problem,” said Dr. Andrew Morris, a professor of infectious diseases at the University of Toronto. “I wonder if you’re listening to deft recommendations or if your experts are giving you wise recommendations. It’s not a plan a big apple knows what they’re talking about. It’s happened like it was meant to be played.”

It’s not just baseball. The virus has no favorites, or perpetuates NBA and NHL bubbles enough to prevent it from entering.

Without a bubble, however, baseball is exposed. So is the NFL, as the league opens its camping season this week at that time.

Like baseball, the NFL has plans. Like baseball, those plans can also explode at the same time.

So far, coronavirus has made everyone from kitchen staff to heclassified state announcements. There are few options for a nearby football team to escape an epidemic, let alone involve it.

Suntil, the NFL will move forward, as will baseball. They will check and last for a season until a season comes when a season is never possible, whether positive testing or player revolts occur.

We all want to see the game again, however, it would be too early, not less than for team games. What ended up coming down was predictable enough, in a hurry to rush back to a virulent disease that refuses to back down.

As long as the virus continues to spread unchecked, even meticulous plans appear to be doomed to failure.

Crispell Conflict: Former Luzerne County Election Director will have to pay a fine for ethics violation

Reid has a plan for a camp suffering from a pandemic

Gavin Bednarz, a men’s Player of The Abingtons’ Scranton Prep, and abington Heights girls’ players Anna Scoblick and Rachel McDonald, contributed to their teams’ undefeated performances when Riverfront Sports’ NEPA Elite AAU basketball club in Scranton was successful the first opening weekend.

The seven players and one abingtons’ head coach were all members of the group play station that compiled record victories.

In total, NEPA’s seven Elite group stations scored 19-8, adding 1-four through the club’s four oldest group stations (17 and under) and 12-3 through its 3 women’s group stations. The women played Friday through Sunday in summer at Spoky Nok Sports in Lancaster County. The boys played Saturday and Sunday in Pennsylvania Tip-Off at East Stroudsburg University.

Bednarz played a leading role in the NEPA Elite Coyle 17U men’s team that at the time withdrew one component while going 3-0 with either of the two wins by no less than 18 points.

The 5-foot, 10-inch top guard fired more than 70% of the gral circumference while completing the team’s top scorer and performing five interceptions. He managed 15 out of 18 while scoring 33 of his 38 things in the middle of the moment.

Scoblick and McDonald were teammates of the NEPA Elite Carra/Lewis 17U women’s team, which was 5-0 with four double-digit wins and 21 four-point points.

Junior guard/striker Scoblick, big rebounder and senior guard McDonald the co-scorer when the team ended up undefeating with their nearest game on Sunday, a 46-3 nine victory over Utica Lady Knicks.

Scoblick has led the team to recover from the last two games. He finished with five things and eight rebounds in a 53-2nine win over In the Zone Platinum, then had eight things and seven rebounds in the overall game. Scoblick scored six things in Friday’s two games and finished the team with four assists at the time, a four-33 victory over the New Jersey Panthers.

McDonald 2 times five in 3 rules in team games 3 and 5. She scored seven things in a 62-17 loss of the New York Hoopers and finished with 11 things, 3 rebounds, two assists and a loan in the overall game.

His h8 school teammate,e.g. Senior Guard/Striker Clair Marion played for the NEPA Elite Clark 17U team that set a 4-1 record as opposed to a chain of National Collegiate Athletics Association Division I recruits in Division A 17U with maximum productivity group play station of the event.

NEPA Elite Clark finished strong, achieving a 59-52 victory over a GTS Fusion team that had a 4-0 record across a combined margin of 106 things. Marion contributed three things and three rebounds in the win, scoring the basket that kept the team in the lead as a great friend halfway up the time of a period.

Clay Basalyga, an Abington Heights graduate, coached the NEPA Elite Basalyga 17U men’s 17U with a 2-1 record.

Basalyga’s team included two current comets, senior most advanced Harry Johnson and senior guard/forward Jacob Anderson.

Anderson 6-of-7 from the gcircular while scoring a 1four-h8 team and catching four rebounds in the 61-four1 win over G2G Basketball.

Johnson, the ultimate logical rebounder in the last game with 8 things to complement seven things, two assists and two blocked shots. He scored eight things on Saturday when the team opened with a 67-52 win over Heat Elite.

Lizzie Pettinato, an Abington Heights archer, was a 3–2 role-high in the 16U women’s team. He finished the team in rebounds with five in a 29-28 loss to the District One Basketball Academy.

From players ignoring bans on handshakes, hand shocks and hugs, to a sitting couple, namely six feet of one, an alterlocal in shelter games, the recently announced baseball season has provided sufficient evidence that old habits are difficult to shake, even assuming the changes are meant to mitigate the threat of coronavirus spread.

The epidemic among Miami Marlins players highlighted the vulnerabilities of the primary leagues, group play stations were in a position that reviewed approaches after the first days of play.

“We have to make a job easier,” Seattle Mariners Manager Scott Servais said. “I think we say what’s necessary, but if you look at the games, we prefer to do the right thing.”

Major League Baseball suspended the Marlins season Tuesday through Sunday after positive testing by the Philadelphia team and Phillies, which welcomed Miami last weekend, will remain dormant until Friday. It is never known how the virus spread among Marlins players, cascading postponements carefully attracted security protocols.

Group play stations have been competitive in increasing the season as they prepare to move the pandemic back into the box. Dressing up players with narrow open-air flags, using empty positions as auxiliary shelters, giving players the strength to wear mask matches, and restricting sports journalists’ access to team staff is popular in the league.

But they haven’t been able to totally curb players’ natural tendencies to engage in physical contact during the ebb and flow of actual games.

In Oakland, a chain between Athletics and Visiting Angels presented several examples of suspicious social estrangement. One of Friday’s heinous highs when A players invaded Matt Olson after a Grand Slam at the end of the game in the 10th inning that rated his 7-3 victory.

“Instinctively, to celebrate a victory as broad as that, I think you’re looking to make progress,” manager Bob Melvin said. “I’m on record saying that you’ll never be very productive at first and that maybe something like this happens with the Marlins creates more awareness and more caution as it disappears. If this is the case, then this is a tight thing.

On Saturday, Jackie Bradley of Boston replaced her elbows with more than one teammate when she entered the shelter after a dive, only to get a lush herb shock with her teammate J.D.

In case, on Sunday, the Washington Nationals shorts, Trea Turner, logical maxim, jumped into the arms of receiver Kurt Suzuki at the shelter for a bear hug after Turner’s career.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitcher Joe Musgrove said social distance had unintended effects on team interaction that are hard to overcome.

“It’s a strange segment in the stands like a fanatic and cheering his team up and not being able to be in the shelter and just communicate,” he said. “I think it’s the biggest missing piece. Be able to be with your team during the game and come out on the bench to celebrate together, maintaining an h8 energy. I guess it’s the biggest disappointment.”

One of the immediate changes, Los Angeles Angels director Joe Maddon said his team plans to establish a wide spot on their next path where players can meet while they stay apart while playing games or hanging out after the night games. There may also be another space for coaches.

“I think it’s critical to trace how it happened (the Marlins outbreak), this is the only thing we’re trying to master before we reach very high conclusions of the big apple,” Maddon said. “For me, if there has been a success in protocol through one of those actors, then it is explained better and if not, it becomes more problematic.”

Melvin said the Athletics were still running over how or whether they could also reposition the protocols they had in one position. Masks do not seem mandatory for players, but are mandatory for school staff.

Servais stated that the violations of the protocol he had discovered were in the circumference outside.

“I don’t see him in our club and in the pre-game batting cage. It’s good,” he said. “But when the game starts, everyone’s competitive nature takes over and their emotions become vivid.”

At least Red Sox manager Ron Roenicke hopes recent advances will circulate through the league with assistance in raising awareness.

“I hope to scare you a little (think), ” he said. “We’ve been wise on that, but we could be better.”

But the fact is, you’re never perfect.

“It’s another environment of other paintings where other Americans visit and stay healthy, just the nature of the sport,” Cincinnati Reds manager David Bell said. “It’s not an excuse, it’s reality.”

The PIAA Board of Directors will hold a Zoom assembly on Wednesday with Fall Sports as the main theme.

Guidance committees for countless sports will provide recommendations for the fall sports season, which includes football, box hockey, football, cross country, golf and women’s volleyball. The first day of autumn sports is August 17, circulating in the state, to conduct voluntary schooling according to COVID-1 nine rules developed through individual schools.

The first date for the fall festivities is August 20 for golf. Football is August 28.

Here’s a look at the recommendations of the explicit sports committees:

Football

Use of face screens. Two brands, Shutt and Oakley, have developed facial screens. Oakley’s shields are the NFL.

Extend the equipment boxes to the 10-meter lines to allow social distance to the margin. The current rule is that the team boxes move to the lines of 25 gardens.

Clean the ball by turning the ball towards the touchlines. Ask the children of the ball to wear gloves and be supervised by an adult member or school member.

Encourage the minimization of offensive and defensive blockages and motivate the school to exploit other ways of communicating with players, such as signals, cards, and signs.

Field hockey

If women are used with a ball, they should wear gloves to select the ball and put it back into play.

Place several balls in the target cage.

• Players should have their own penalty corner masks and not share masks.

Have a penalty chair located on the pass table for legal players to use.

Consider using original playoff sites that neutral sites.

Soccer

When possible, place additional game balls outside the box to limit contact with the ball. Ball holders are encouraged to explode their feet or wear gloves to pass through the back aisle to designated spaces or box spaces.

Suspend the pre-fit World Cup introductory line and send players to their position on the field. The benchers were covered on the sidelines and were six feet of component for the presentations.

Water bottles should be used off the field. Goalkeepers would have the right to make a water bottle the target for the sole purpose of wetting the gloves in connection with spitting on them.

Coaches are encouraged to hang up all meetings with outdoor players where possible.

The fabric mask may not be allowed to come with sponsor names or advertisements.

Cross

Limit to a maximum of 12 party participants with four or less.

In the absence of a rapid automatic timing system, give the concept other tactics to determine where and when congestion disorders arrive on the final line. If sticks are used to determine the finishing location, disposable sticks are recommended.

There is a social estrangement protocol that would give handshakes before and after racing.

Use of individual water for runners instead of water stations and open vessels.

Golf

Allow electronic notation. Desalients the display of dashboards, but allows verbal confirmation.

Change, if necessary, the top playoff qualifiers, adding individual and team national championships.

Remove the practice of inviting the finalist group station to the box at the championship game station if a district or region does not provide the rating.

Volleyball

Teams do not reposition the banks between games, however, they would relocate the sides of the field.

Allow flexibility in postseason grades and parentheses, if necessary.

Tennis

Wash hands or use hand sanitizer between matches.

The balls must be marked so that any of the players can identify their balls.

Allow flexibility in postseason grades and parentheses, if necessary.

The Nanticoke Region School District ended volunteer education on Tuesday in all sports after five football players contacted other Americans who tested positive for COVID-19.

First, the school district suspended football schooling because 3 players have jobs where they were in contact with the person. But reflecting, he said all sports would be closed.

No player from the Nanticoke region in a game has symptoms of COVID-19.

“We didn’t have to close. We do it voluntarily,” said Nanticoke region athletic director Ken Bartuska. “As far as we know, no one has tested positive in our school. We’re just looking to be very careful in that term.”

Football will resume on August 10, the week of direct acclimatization to the heat of the sport. All other sports will be broadcast on August 17, which is the first official day of practice of PIAA guidelines.

Nanticoke football coach Ron Bruza said the team held a school consultation on Thursday. Three of the players painted in a café over the weekend where a colleague experienced COVID-19 symptoms. The colleague’s check came back positive for COVID-19.

Two other players reported that they were in direct contact with the tester.

“(Players) have no symptoms, no positive tests, nothing at all,” Bruza said. “More or less through the lok for contacts we discovered.”

N players were on the football facility or on the school campus before being in touch with other humans with positive tests.

“Our last school office on Thursday. Everything surfaced on Friday. This positive check came back (Monday),” Bruza said. “Since we were informed, there has been no interaction.”

Each school in the state had to submit an aptitude and defense plan for the resumption of sport, which had to be approved through the school administration. Bruza said he was incredibly proud of the way his players adhered to the plan, which includes social estrangement and mask wearing.

The Nanticoke area is the first school in the Wyoming Valley Conference known for postponing voluntary education. Several schools in the Lackawanna leagues – Abington Heights, Old Forge, Scranton, Valley View and West Scranton – despised their fall sports education the summer, while Mid Valley suspended football education.

All Abington Heights and Valley View have returned to training.

Jon Rahm is the world’s No. 1 player.

The most productive golfer? It’s the week.

It was hard to beat Webb Simpson when he saw RBC Heritage, giving him two wins, a moment position and a third position in his last six PGA Tour events.

But then Dustin Johnson saw the Travel Championship, renewing conversations that, when it takes time, are more talented. However, during his two-week break, golf has been passionate about Bryson DeChambeau’s large size and his 200-kilometre-per-hour ball speed that led to victory in Detroit, his seventh consecutive logical high 10.

And then, two days after DeChambeau got a 10, ideal for gymnastics, not so much for golf, on the 15th hole in Muirbox Village to miss the cup, Rahm built an eight-shot lead in the corner and clung to a victory at The Memorial that sent him to World No. 1.

For how long?

Longer than Tom Lehguy, of course. Of the four players who have been No. 1 because the global rankings began in 1986, Lehguy had the shorcheck – a week. And just for his chance, he took advantage of that week off, so he never played a tournament at No. 1 overall.

Rory McIlroy, whom Rahm replaced at No. 1, and Justin Thomas can return to the top if they win the World Golf Championship this week in Memphis, Tennessee. At least that’s easier to track than two weeks ago, when five players at the Memorial had a mathematical chance of reaching No. 1.

Whether the country explains why it is intensity or parity, it has a revolving door that doesn’t seem to be as soon as possible.

Broks Koepka started the year at No. 1, and McIlroy took over in February. Rahm was asked tuesday if he thought they were the most productive players when they were No.1, and if he now looked at himself that way.

“I think it’s hard to find a player today,” Rahm said. “Because yes, Brooks is facing a difficult year right now. He’s not playing the best he can. But he won four major titles in recent years. Rory played amazing last year. It’s hard to dictate to a single player. But it’ll be stupid.” for me to mention that I’m not here thinking I’m the most productive player.

“And I think all the wonderful players that have sprung up so far are playing as if they think they’re the most productive player,” he said. “In golf, turn it into a week or a week.”

McIlroy and Johnson have done better than anyone over the past decade. McIlroy has reached the number 1 8 times over a total of 106 weeks. Johnson went there five times for a total of 96 weeks.

During his longer periods, 6 weeks for Johnson, 5 weeks for McIlroy, little argument.

With Tiger Woods, there’s no argument.

Since Woods in 2009, a player has not started or finished a year without giving up the No. 1 ranking. It’s the eighth time Woods has done it.

Considering the 281 consecutive weeks, Woods No. 1, from the 200f U.S. Open to the 2010 HSBC Champions. In the last 281 weeks, No. 1 has replaced his hands 27 times.

Phil Mickelson was never on that list, and Rahm was quick to say that the game opposed to Woods in his heyday didn’t actually help Lefty’s cause.

“But it doesn’t take away anything I did, ” said Rahm. “Now, at the same time, here comes great. I’ve been playing golf for the last four years… It’s not just to get here. However, to hit here, let’s wait a long time.”

Of the 23 players beyond succeeding in the top of the leaderboard, Salso has won his debut at number 1. Johnson’s recent high in 2017 in the Mexican championship, his time of three victories directly. The maximum opportunity belonged to Adam Scott, who had 3 chances to reach the maximum logical point through victory, and then given a week off. He came back and won at Colonial.

The highest productive Ian Woosnam. He reached No. 1 in 1991 and went straight to the Masters.

It’s just a number. Rahm understands global ratings enough to make this a two-year product, not a week. He’d rather be proud, like the other 23 than he does.

Thomas reached Number 1 after the player’s champions were sent in 2018 and did not play before the Memorial. He acknowledged feeling different.

“I just don’t forget to be a little more nervous, as it’s like all eyes are on you and you’re the most productive player in the world, so you feel like you’re up to it,” he said.

Getting to No. 1 is hard work.

These days, staying there could be even more difficult.

PHILADELPHIA – Chris Pronger may not criticize a Jstomer from his family’s thriving boutique travel company in the NHL bubble. But if Pronger was caught in the league’s key cities for a longer era of time, the Hall of Fame knows what he would pack.

“You just put a picture of what’s at the end of the road,” Pronger said. “You have to see it from a short-term attitude how limited a career is. On the immoderate side, how do you get those opportunities?”

Pronger, a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame, played in the Stanley Cup final with 3 groups and won everything with the Anaheim Ducks in 2007. I had a choice, albeit a tibig apple, to win as an executive with the Florida Panthers. .

Pronger, 45, intimidating defenders in league history, resigned as senior vice president of hockey operations beyond this month. Pronger spent three years with the franchise and left with the Panthers capable of playing a series of the top five playoffs opposed to the Islanders in Toronto.

The Panthers are in an exclusive position for best friends: the first pick in the draft is in play at a time and take out some of the 8 group seasons that lose in the qualifying round of the playoffs.

Pronger put his executive hat back on for a while and hoped the Panthers would pass.

“You want to win, ” said Pronger. “You prefer your players to delight and present this option to win. When deciding where you are for your cycle for your team, your best friend thinks you may or may not be able to win.”

The timing of his departure was not very good, however, no one expected summer hockey and Pronger felt the preference of his wife and his luxury travel company Well Inspired Travels (think elite athletes, CEO, wealthy business owners).

Pronger had the concept of retiring from the Panthers for over a year and said there is no ill will towards general manager Dale Tallon or anyone else in the organization. He said Tallon understood the verdict and thanked the Panthers for his contributions.

After a lifetime of hockey, Pronger only sought to rest and help Lauren Pronger’s company thrive.

“I think for me and where we are with our company, all my attention should be here on this,” Pronger said. “Make it work, manage it, and build it day by day. I couldn’t look around. You invested in everything you do. In the end, it was all I sought to do with my life and my assistance in growing and building.

Pronger laughed when he said that running a travel company a pandemic “presents its challenges” but was in business for the long term.

The Panthers are playoffs for the first time since they wasted a six-game series with the Islanders in 2016. Florida has not won a playoff in four attempts since reaching the third season of the Stanley Cup Finals franchise in 1996. They’ll play without Pronger.

“I’m not a big fan of looking,” Pronger said. “You have no control over anything. You put the players in position and then you leave.”

Next season, Pronger eighth player at St. Louis Blues hitale to retire his number. The five-time All-Star was the moment he was selected in the 1993 draft and played in the Stanley Cup Finals with Edmonton, Anaheim and Philadelphia. He helped lead the Flyers to the Eastern Conference call in 2010 and joined Wednesday night with former teammate Danbig apple Briere and other former Flyers greats for a virtual wine tasting that benefits Snider Hockey.

Pronger’s career has derailed through concussions, and he has been in a position suffered for days in bed in dark rooms to relieve persistent headaches and occasional episodes of depression. Currently, Pronger says he feels better and only has tired eyes, “this is a component because of age.”

“Overall, I’m pretty good, ” he said. “Occasionally, I do too much and it becomes a segment of a problem. But it’s not manageable at all.”

Even in the wake of the division with the Panthers, Pronger will make it to the playoffs.

“I’m a hockey fan,” Pronger said. “You don’t spend 28 years on the block and you just give up.”

Syl Fowles is about to take another critical step at WNBA.

The Minnesota star will become the WNBA race leader this week when he meets former Lynx teammate and current assistant coach Rebekkah Brunson unless there are unforeseen events. Fowles has six rebounds at Brunson’s 3,356 mark and has a chance to beat her Tuesday night against Seattle.

“It’s very special to beat Rebekkah, it means everything,” Fowles said. “Seeing BB get to the paintings before I entered the league, I was surprised. Taking it from her means a lot because I know she did the job. It also summarizes who I am as a player. I’ve never been an offensive threat before I joined the league.” . This new call can be everything since I’ve been running since day one.”

Fowles said she and Brunson talk about the record.

“He told Cheryl (Reeve) that if anyone was going to damage that record, it would be me,” Fowles said. “It means a lot to come from her.”

The 6-foot-five average is celebrity its fifth anniversary with the Lynx this week after being traded to the Chicapass team on July 27, 201 five.

Off the field, Fowles was busy in the bubble to finish the semester for a net degree through the American Academy McAllister Institute. The most productive mortuary schools. Fowles has his final exam on Friday for the semester and could graduate in December.

“I can see the end of the light of this tunnel, ” said Fowles with a smile. “It’s been a crazy year.”

Since entering the bubble in early July, he has taken a three-hour zoom course, one and Wednesday.

“You don’t prefer the coach to move the practice according to your schedule, however, she understood where she was coming from and that I had more than a week left of this course and she was lenient with me, so it was an advantage,” Fowles said.

Behind Fowles’ 17th and 18 rebounds in game 1, Lynx climbed 3 spots to 5th in the AP strength poll this week. The storm remained the most productive team, no longer the unanimous election, getting 11 of the 16 top votes from the national media panel.

MIAMI (AP) – The Miami Marlins coronavirus outbreak can also jeopardize Major League Baseball season, said Dr. Anthobig apple Fauci, as his players tested positive for 15.

The Marlins gained positive verification effects for four more players on Tuesday, the Associated Press told the Associated Press a person familiar with the stage. The user reference known as effects has not been made public.

Nine players on the 30-player roster, two taxi team players and two staff members previously tested positive, blocked the team in Philadelphia and caused the postponement of four MLB games.

The Marlins epidemic has raised new questions about MLB’s attempts to lead an outdoor season in the bubble environment, which the NFL has also selected not to create for its season.

“This can also put it at risk,” Fauci, the country’s leading infectious disease specialist, said of the outbreak. “I don’t think they’ll stop, however, we just have to stick to that and see what happens to the other group station after half a day or day.”

Fauci made his comments on ABC’s “Good Morning America” before the news of the Marlins’ results.

“Major League Baseball (players, owners, managers) have done their best to mix and install position protocols that would work,” Fauci said. “It’s a shame what happened to the Miami (Marlins).”

His outbreak continued to disrupt major League Baseball on Tuesday, the sixth day of the season behind a pandemic. The Marlins house game opposed to Baltimore has been postponed for a consecutive time, the New York Yankees game in Philadelphia, said a person close to the verdict to The Associated Press.

Miami played Filadelfo’s weekend. The Yankees are expected to receive the Phillies on Wednesday and Thursday.

“Obviously, we don’t prefer an exposed player. It’s not a positive thing,” Commissioner Rob Manfred said Monday night on the MLB network. “But I don’t see it as a nightmare … We believe that scorridors are able to keep other Americans safe and continue to play”

The Orioles, who arrived in Miami without playing a game, are expected to host the Marlins in a two-game series on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Chicapass White Sox director Rick Renteria will stay away from his team after experiencing a “slight cough and nasal congestion,” general manager Rick Hahn said. The tests were planned.

The Marlins placed framer Garrett Cooper, outfielder Harold Ramirez and right-hander Jose Urea on the disabled list. They claimed right-handed Justin Shafer and left-hander Josh Smith from the Cincinnati waivers, and will likely have reinforcements from their school camp in Jupiter, Florida.

Manfred declared linked points that would force MLB to move his plans.

“A team that wastes one or more players that would actually make it uncompetitive would be a difficulty that would have to be solved and change the concept,” he said. “Whether the season component ends, the entire season depends on the circumstances. The same is circulating in the league. You reach a limit point in the league where it becomes a threat of fitness, and we could count on a close closure at that point.”

MLB and the union spoke Monday after some aspects of the protocols were found in a giant component that were ignored in the first four days of the season, such as a ban on crashing all five and other physical celebrations.

The NBA and NHL plan to resume their seasons in bubble environments, with basketball in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, and hockey in Edmonton, Alberta and Toronto.

“The NBA and NHL have one advantage: smaller players, an era of shorter time,” Manfred said. “I sense why they did what they did. I’m just not obligated to make it work for us.”

The NFL has selected to create a bubble environment as a school camp station open this week.

“They may have to move into a bubble,” Fauci said, “but I think they are aware enough and prefer their players and protect staff to do the right thing.”

Ashley Bowl made giant news in 1947. It had air conditioning.

The 12-track bowling alley located at 53-57 North Main Street in Ashley. The air conditioning made it the only position to play in the deception that allowed for year-round comfort. It also had automatic pin adjustment devices, making it the only bowling alley with them in northeastern Pennsylvania. In addition, indirect lighting reduces the glare of bowlers.

The news was such progress that Apple’s large corporations ran classified ads in the local newspaper consistently with congratulating Ashley Bowl for buying air conditioning.

A special bowling game took place two days later between the Stegmaier State Champion team and Wyoming Valley champion Ishley’s.

An organization of 12 businessmen and Ashley professionals started the ball at the facility six years earlier, seeing a preference for a bowling alley in the area. Assets known as the Charles Tremayne Property were obtained and renovation began at the back of the building.

Nearly 22 years before the day of the air conditioning announcement, Ashley Bowl closed in 1969. The Ashley Bowl settlement committee went to Ashley’s Board in 1971, requesting that the deception be rezoned from general affairs to the light industry. The plan was to exploit the design to make furniture.

The newspaper trace has become bled out after the sale of the design to a non-public person in 1975. There are no designs on the adget dresses based on Google Maps photos.

NBA group game stations recognize that the strength of banking can also be somewhat more critical than the same pandemic schedule calling race in which a positive coronavirus test can also set aside an elite player at the time of the block.

“Intensity will be a concern for everyone,” new Orleans Pelicans general manager David Griffin said.

The perfect news for the group play station is that league officials said last week that 346 players were reviewed on the NBA campus due to the announcement of the lacheck effects of the coronavirus on July 13, with no positive effects. But the fact that they also recognize is how a positive check can also influence a team’s list.

Notable players who tested positive for coronavirus prior to the team’s departure to Disney’s Wide World of Sports come with Russell Westbrok of Houston, Harrison Barnes of Sacramento and Eric Bledsoe of Milwaukee, as they have approved protocols to return to Florida. Bradley Beal, from Washington, is the logical maxim on the list of players who chose not to connect on the reboot.

The Brooklyn Nets probably wouldn’t have Wilson Chandler, Spencer Dinwiddie, DeAndre Jordan and Taurean Prince for the reboot and were in one position without injured stars Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving.

And that doesn’t even account for basketball-related setbacks such as the foot injury Sacramento Kings forward Marvin Bagley sustained in practice to knock him out of the restart.

Due to the four-and-a-half month break between normal season games, group seasons are top, probably to give their starters limited minutes, especially the start of a more important friend.

The biggest threat of wasting players for a longer time at Apple will also require a group game station to organize backup plans.

“If you’ve been in the league for a long time, you’ve had to deal with an injury, two injuries, three injuries, and the timing might not be the best,” said Milwaukee Bucks coach Mike Budenholzer. “You have to decipher some way to persevere in the publicity paintings and yourself and locate tactics to progress if it’s the playoffs. We’re in a bubble. It’s unique. It’s different. But there are things we’ve all had to face.” with if you’ve been in long playoffs for a long time.”

Here’s a look at some players who are on the fan’s radar, but who can also play a bigger role in rebooting:

TROY BROWN JR., WASHINGTON WIZARDS: Brown was in a position with an average of 24 minutes before halftime, but he can also be even more star artist in the renaissance with the missing Wizards Beal and Davis Bertans. The 6-foot-6-inch lead in Oregon has nine.7 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.3 assists consistent with the game.

ALEX CARUSO, LOS ANGELES LAKERS: Caruso has five major points, 1. nine rebounds and 1.8 assists in 17.8 minutes when the break began. With Avery Bradley opting not to connect on the reget started and Rajon Rondo breaking his thumb in practice this month, the 6-foot-five-inch Caruso is expected to play a bigger role on the Lakers bank. The Lakers announced on July 13 that Rondo would miss between six and eight weeks.

LU DORT, OKLAHOMA CITY THUNDER: The Arizona State Rookie has thrived this season with 6.2 things and 1. nine rebounds consistent with the game. Oklahoma City has a record 16-five in games that Dort started. Aleven, although The possible return of André Roberson after a rupture of the patellar tendon that prevented him from appearing for 2 years and a component year can also complicate Dort’s situation, Dennis Schroder hopes to temporarily leave the bubble with his wife due to childbirth. Dort counts for more minutes in Schroder’s absence.

GEORGE HILL, MILWAUKEE BUCKS: Hill shot 48% to 3 things, well above his race average of 38.5% and light years higher than his 2018-1 average nine of 28%, before the game ended. The guard and 34-year-old teammate Donte DiVincenzo could be even more critical points in the birth of recovery, as Bucks teammates Eric Bledsoe and Pat Connaughton tested positive for coronavirus, whether they were in Florida.

TYLER JOHNSON, BROOKLYN NETS: Aleven, although he just signed with the Nets a month ago, Johnson can also play a leading role to all missing players on his new team. The 6-foot-four-inch guard had played 31 games with Phoenix this season and had 5.7 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.6 assists in 16.6 minutes before being canceled in February. He posted double-digit averages for 3 consecutive seasons from 2016-17 to 2018-19.

GARY TRENT JR., PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS: Trent showed a glide of his potential future in the month leading up to the pandemic, scoring 22 against Miami on February 9 and 20 against Indiana on February 27 and 2 against Orlando on March 2. 6-five goalkeeper averages 7.7 things and 20 minutes, however, you’ll probably have more game time now that teammate Trevor Ariza has selected not to connect on the reboot.

NEW YORK – Kyrie Irving is forcing WNBA players to miss the season and worry about a paycheck.

The Brooklyn Nets star is committing $1.5 million to supplement the income of players who choose not to play this season, whether it be because of coronavirus concerns or social justice reasons.

The funds come from the KAI Empowerment Initiative announced Monday through Irving. It will also provide players with an economic education program created through UBS.

Irving said that, with the help of WNBA players Natasha Cloud, who chose to take a break, and Jewell Loyd, he was contacted by several WNBA players who were not convinced of the difficult conditions they faced in deciding whether they would play. The season began on Saturday and would be played at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

He to support with the financial burden in a league where the maximum logical annual salary is just over $200,000.

“Whether an individual makes a direct decision to fight for social justice, play basketball, focus on physical or intellectual health, or just join their family, this initiative will help their priorities and decisions,” Irving said in a statement.

Players like Cloud and Renee of Atlanta have chosen not to play for social redevelopment reasons, even though it’s never very well known how mabig apple will qualify for the Irving program.

To be eligible, players must review the times surrounding their resolution and not reach another entity’s salary. A medically unteered exclusion should be applicable to the coronavirus pandemic.

Players can get data on www.kaiempowermentinitiative.com. They must submit their application until 11 August and recipients may be notified on 24 August.

Irving is never heavily with the Nets for the resumption of the NBA season while recovering from shoulder surgery. He has been frank about social justice disorders and recently produced a special call to television for action on the death of Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old black emergency medical technician who shot 8 times in Louisville, Kentucky, on March 13 through plaincloels. Serves a narcotics search warrant without hitting your apartment. No medications were found.

WNBA players wore Taylor’s call on their jerseys the first weekend.

When the Boston Bruins boarded their flight to Toronto, they saw it as a long drive.

Sure, they were spaced and masked on the plane, but they were on their way to competing for the Stanley Cup, as they missed a win less than last season. Patrice Bergeron said he was “excited and hunting ahead to see what’s coming next.”

Things turned out a little different for Edmonton’s doorman, Mike Smith, when he showed up at a downtown hotel on Sunday just minutes from home and expects it to last more than two months.

“Reality has calmed down,” Smith said.

NHL players from all four playoff playoffs to their new truth Monday in the cities of Toronto and Edmonton, Alberta. The life of quarantine bubbles began when the league reported that there were no positive effects of coronavirus control last week, and this public-free life is expected to last until the Stanley Cup is awarded in the fall.

“We asked our organization from birth to keep a brain open because everything will change, everything fluctuates constantly, daily, meticulously,” said Minnesota coach Dean Evason.

“It’s different. You have a bridge with fences. People can’t see. You can’t see. But if you accept it and you’re ready to flatter things, it’s pretty cool.”

While Major League Baseball postponed no less than two games and fought the Miami Marlins’ COVID-1 outbreak, the NHL reported that no 800 players evaluated in the last week of the education camp had tested the virus positive. This data and the low variety of schedules displayed in Canadian provinces where the games can be held added a layer of confidence to the first day of education.

Like the NBA and Major League Soccer in Florida, the NHL has established a quarantine environment for players, coaches and that has allowed those in the bubble to compare this end-of-season technique with the less stringent way that MLB and the NFL are hunting to obtain. through yours.

“We’re in a bubble. Major League Baseball is not,” Boston coach Bruce Cassidy said. “Obviously, once you get into the bubble, it feels like too safe an environment.”

Feeling has allowed the group play station to arrive at the paintings that are being prepared for the exhibition games this week and the birth of the playoffs this weekend. They began to get acquainted with the hotels and school tracks, and some were able to see in retrospect empty sands where they would play when hockey resumed after the break that began on March 12.

The first reviews are positive.

“I was a little skeptical about the procedure before it all started: how was it going to work? How can you prepare for that? Montgenuine forwards and player’s representative Paul Byron said.” It didn’t seem to have much time, a wonderful variety of warnings. … I am really pleasantly surprised to come to the hotel. Turns out they have a pretty smart setup for us. “

The setup includes loose Tim Hortons coffee, a variety of restaurants and non-public transportation from the hotel to the ice rink. Winnipeg’s coach, Paul Maurice, went so far as to describe him as “sacredly normal” as he prepared for an imperative elimination at a place on the calendar.

The summer of hockey will feel quite herbal when the puck falls.

“The only position you feel general in is when you put your skates on,” Caroline’s coach Rod Brind’Amour said. “The only position you feel like you’re forgetting things everyone has to deal with, adding the players, is when they’re playing.”

There are some questions about who will be ples angelesy. Columbus coach John Tortorellos will not call his birthkeeper for the first match opposite Toronto until the day before. Brind’Amour said hurricane defense Dougie Hamilton is still “unfit” to study and his prestige is uncertain.

But the first day of urban practice also brought wise news. Colorado Rookie of the Year finalist Cale Makar, Tampa Bay captain Steven Stamkos and Boston Rocket Trophy winner Richard David Pastrnak have trained and played.

This is just the beginning, and bring your best friend virtually a week of daily testing so the NHL can succeed. But getting into the bubbles of Toronto and Edmonton was a wonderful step toward the game during a pandemic.

“Obviously, I’m glad Scorridor is able to move this forward,” Bergeron said. “All the way here.”

D-SSELDORF, Apple Germabig: Olympic athletes vying for gold medals in a global crisis for a pandemic? In all likelihood, it wouldn’t be the first time.

A century before the postponement of the Tokyo Games, the coronavirus, the Olympic Games were held in the Belgian city of Antwerp following the Spanish influenza pandemic.

The 1920 Games were intended to represent a resumption of World War I, not a fitness crisis. Belgium, the battle box of the opposition powers, the host rejected and the five rings of the Olympic flag flew for the first time in an opening ceremony.

“They released pigeons, although they were not necessarily peace pigeons, because they were pigeons that had served in the war and were released by the military,” Roland Renson, a Belgian sports historian, told The Associated Press.

The pandemic and war materialized through Aileen Riggin, a 14-year-old American diver who won a gold medal.

Riggin began swimming competitively after getting sick with the Spanish flu, and became acircular in a World War I battle box after winning gold on the 3-meter springboard. She took a Gerguy helmet and a bulb aisle as souvenirs, but was surprised when she examined some huge apple boots lying in the beaten mud.

“Tok had a foot in it, so I let him down in a hurry,” he later recalls.

The coronavirus blocked the exit from Antwerp and marked the centenary. A ceremobig apple in March, given to the King of Belgium and the President of the International Olympic Committee, was cancelled.

Although he took up position after a primary war, reconciliation at the Antwerp Olympics had its limits. The Germabig apple and its wartime allies did not compete, nor did Russia control through the Bolsheviks. Official best friends were not banned, only they were not invited. A Swedish skater (then at the Summer Olympics before the birth of the Winter Games in 1924) reportedly banned Gerguy’s music.

There were also economic problems. Ingenious shortcuts, such as opening a pool from a ditch in the city’s fortifications (Riggin and other athletes hated cold and dark water) helped reduce costs, but the Belgian creation committee lost coins and left unpaid debts.

“Anvers never enjoyed his Olympic legacy at the debacle,” Renson said.

It is estimated that delaying the Tokyo Olympics until 2021 will charge Japan no less than $2 billion.

The Spanish flu swept the world from 1918 until the birth of 1920, killing some 50 million people, war and poverty made a precise recount impossible.

Other older Americans account for an imperative proportion of the death toll from coronavirus, however, Spanish flu was an explicit threat to other young Americans. This included infantrymen accumulated in miserable conditions at the end of World War I. Influenza trooplaystation in France and Belgium hitchhiked during its demobilization. Soldiers’ parties have become hot spots for infections.

According to records provided through the Olympic historian and physician B Mallon, seven Olympic athletes died from the Spanish flu.

They come with three World War I veterans, in addition to Martin Sheridan, an Irish-born New York police officer who won gold medals on disc and throwing weights at several first Olympic Games.

“This flag does not become a great king of apple land,” Sheridan said at the 1908 London Olympics when the team refused to lower the flag as a sign of respect for the British royal family. The comment was first published decades later and its veratown is disputed, however, the United States continues the culture of not sinking the flag into Olympic ceremonies.

Mallon and the researchers met 48 times COVID-1 nine among The Olympic athletes, with nine deaths attributed to the disease.

For Belgium, the Spanish flu was another setback in the relay after the devastation of World War I. However, Renson said he had not discovered any direct influence of the pandemic in Olympic preparations.

The Antwerp Olympics intended to mark new beginnings, however, many pre-war traditions remained.

Athletes had to be amateurs, but this rule meant mediocre competitions among rich gentlemen. Work elegance: Other Americans were alienated and many games were not very popular, unless it was for football.

The Belgians enjoyed cycling but rejected Olympic races for more professional events, Renson said. Some categories of s only had 1 inning, which means the team only had to finish to win a gold medal.

However, times were changing. He was the Olympic deyet of Finnish long-distance runner Paavo Nurmi, whose clinical technique of schooling and career strategy helped him win nine gold medals in his career, adding up to 3 in Antwerp. Sport was increasingly a full-time occupation, it meant circumventing the rules of amateurism.

“The U.S. Rowing Team It was made up of Navy men and they trained one or any day. So, you may be able to ask questions, whether they’re amateurs or not,” Renson said. “Amateurism was a way to exclude other Americans from the ruling class, as undeniable as that. Paavo Nurmi was not a saint. He was a natural professional.

The 1920 Olympics also excluded mabig apple women. Two years later, female athletes organized their own Women’s Separation Olympics. This forced the International Olympic Committee to move closer to gender equality.

The Olympic champions of Mabig apple 1920 will be remembered today, however, the games were a symbolic resurrection of the game in adversity.

“In minimal time, they organized the games, but they were impromptu games,” Renson said. “They had to do it with the means at their disposal, and at that moment they were removed from abundance in a city so battered by war.”

Plans for the school football season, if played, are expected to begin this week.

They will descend from the maximum logic of primary school football, with Power Five meetings installing revised position schedules that they expect them to facilitate control of possible interruptions caused through COVID-19.

Power Five commissioners talked a lot in the spring about the importance of collaboration and check-out and starting the season together, with the entire subbranch Football Bowl performing in un comes together. The way things go, it feels like being out of the window.

This is where the conference is held with the first school football games scheduled in about a month.

Atlantic Coast Conference

The ACC is thinking of an 11-game schedule that will come with 10 conference games and begin on September 12. The headline is that Notre Dame, which plays five or six ACC group seasons consistent with the season, could be a full conference member for that. Season. The Fighting Irish had never played at a football conference before. This has not yet been developed and other models are being considered, adding one with 8 conference games and one without conference.

Big Ten

The first conference to announce that you will only play conference games. The assumption/speculation was that the Big Ten would upload some other game to their current nine-game schedule to succeed in 10 and put him in position before the end of July, however, the conference was unconditionally shy in terms of revealing their plans. .

12 grand

The Big 12 was the ultimate public conference in our minds to play all of their games. “We made a resolution decades after that, if we were out of our normal hours, we might also prefer to be forced to do so through the circumstances, through the situation,” Commissioner Bob Bowlsvia said. “And so far, we haven’t been forced to do it.”

Instead of delaying the birth of the season, Big 12 takes the oppo approach, leading to the birth to create more open dates for future makeup games. Kansas has scheduled August 2 for Southern Illinois (a replacement for some other high school for football champions). Oklahoma also propelled its opposing game to the State of Missouri to the so-called Week Zero. TCU is reportedly playing on August 2, nine against UNLV in the first game at the hot NFL Stadium in Las Vegas. The Horned Frogs and Rebels canceled games opposed to California when the Pac-12 eliminated non-conference games.

PAC-12

The Pac-12 did not make the conference until more than a day after the Big Ten, but announced that it will provide a new schedule until July 31. The San Jose Mercury News reported last week that the Pac-12 passes with 10 games and will begin on September 1, nine. This start date could be extended to October 3 if state restrictions to stop peaks in COVID-1 nine times force the Pac-12 group station to delay the birth of preseason tests.

Southern Conference

SEC athletic administrators left a head-to-head meeting with Commissioner Greg Sankey in Birmingham, Alabama, more than a week later with some models of plans on the table. Conference games have never made sense to the SEC (or CCA and Big 12). Why prevent Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, and South Carolina from beting ACC’s rivals in the state? Auburn can also be expected to play North Carolina from the ACC in Atlanta. The SEC can also upload a conference game to its eight-game list. There was also talk in the league of allowing the group play station to be played as a big apple outside of conference games, most imaginable to get as close as possible to a full season of 12 games. The Big 12 also adopts this approach. The SEC’s final resolution may also persist next week.

Group of Five

It’s not fair to put in a mix the United States Athletics Conference, the West Mountain, the Mid-American Conference, the Conference and the Sun Belt, but the reality is that everyone is at the mercy of the Power Five in some way.

“We pay special attention to what the five (autonomy) are doing,” U.S. Athletics Conference Commissioner Mike Aresco told Yahoo! Sports last week. “We have illusions, they conduct the activity here.”

The Big Ten and Pac-12 have left a position on the Group of Five calendars and their most powerful friend in budgets. The big block of those games cancelled outside the conference was accompanied by giant salaries for small schools. The MAC lost 11 games to the Big Ten teams. Mountain West is 13 games short, some at home, due to Pac-12’s decision.

As the CCA prepares to abandon the maximum of its schedule outside the conference, a lot of another Gfive game station can be unfortunate. Big 12 and SEC group game stations can also complete some game stations, however, the maximum will likely have to become an alternative one and FCS schools if they want to play more than conference games. The same goes for undesoned independents of Notre Dame as BYU.

But is it worth it? Playing just conference games could save a bunch on travel costs. Those buy games against Power Five teams often fund a big chunk of the rest of the season. If that goes away, some G5 schools might not be able to afford to play a full schedule. Same goes for FCS.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. – No one knew what school camp would look like until the NFL and its players’ union reached an agreement beyond what was planned last week for a more radical friend to reposition the collective bargaining agreement to lock up football in the coronavirus era.

Andy Reid may also have been the first to have a plan when, after all, the most important things were decided.

Suconsistent’s coach with Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs has been a maniac of plans. It could take more than a week off after the season ends, however, even at your low-season home in Southern California, it can’t even help you create games and plan workouts.

So when both sides agreed to start the school camp with a period of acclimatization, and they came up with a plan to continue with the best friends serving classified ads in mid-August and skip the pre-season games, well, Reid had a plan for that.

“He focused on what to do and the right things to do,” said Chiefs coach Rick Burkholder, who followed Reid from the Eagles to the Chiefs for seven years and is as close to him as anyone in the organization. “I said before: his father was an artist. His mother was a doctor. He has art and science like no other person.”

“They called me with the doctors and I said, “I have no idea how we’re going to do this,” Burkholder continued. “I call Andy and he says, “Okay, we’ll do it this way.” It’s the art of science.”

That’s a lot less than there aren’t big apple moments during the off-season when Reid got frustrated across the stage: any of the people in the world probably felt that way. Reid regularly installed a type of educational camp plan in May, when recruits show up for his minifield and voluntary education is just beginning.

This year, the experienced instructor had to spend hours and hours in front of the PC screens in his basement while conducting virtual meetings with coaches, players and while the NFL wondered how to proceed.

“Sometimes he’s a big red bear because he loves to put things on the page,” Burkholder said. “I was suffering from the unknown of the league, and I was getting data from the doctor before they went to the coaches. We had conversations beyond due at night, we went through ghost schedules, and when everything was said and done, he came back to town and showed me his iPad and had another 20 schedules, and every time they were desperate for protocol, he replaced the schedule.

The league gave the Chiefs and Texans, who play the season’s opening game on September 10, the green light for rookies, quarterbacks and desperate veterans last week. But his eldest friend underwent COVID-1 tests, physical examinations and spent time getting his device in order. Very few genuine paintings will take up position until this week, when veterans arrive for their own tests.

The era of acclimatization will come with 60-minute paintings in the w8 room and 60-minute box paintings, but with 1 players from five organizations at once. Daily visits of limited duration may also be allowed. After more than a week, the camp rushes with players allowed a maximum of 3 1/2 hours in the box, either one day. They could also begin to dress up in padded helmets and shirts, then helmets and shells, while painting for padded practices in mid-August.

“I appreciate the league and the union, and then I’m coming to an agreement where football can continue safely and we can wait a season,” Reid said.

Bosses regularly organize a school camp in Missouri Western, but were forced to transfer it to practice amid the pandemic. And that’s not a bad thing in the end. Its facility itself has two outdoor gardens, an indoor lawn and one or more meeting spaces, but it will also be circular on the street from the Arrowhead Stadium vehicle park. Bosses intend to exploit the box and meeting spaces to enclose a narrow social distance throughout the school camp.

“As for the setup here, the feeling that we’re in a safe environment, I think other Americans have come a long way to do it,” Reid said. “We are as sure as you can be able to be here. Dedication and the field once you leave this facility can be critical. When you’re here, it’s a safe environment. You have to continue this once you leave. He’s my best friend, he ends up being critical, and we’ve also been given a plan for that, which we talked to the players about. I feel good.
