- The NHL seems close on a deal to resuming the season. Per the AP, “Under the plan proposed by the joint NHL/NHLPA Return To Play Committee, the top four teams in each of the Eastern and Western Conferences would play each other for seeding while the remaining 16 teams face off in a best-of-five series play-in round to set the final 16 to compete for the Stanley Cup.” I’ll take it.
- The NBA also seems close to announcing a return to play, but details there are not near finalization.
- Finally, congrats to Chase Briscoe on winning the NASCAR Xfinity series race at Darlington just two days after his expectant wife’s routine pregnancy exam revealed no fetal heartbeat. What an incredible swing of emotions.
