A lame attempt at weekend morning normalcy

[3catwoman3]

Being the parents of devoted soccer playing sons from the time each was 5 (now 30 and 27 - when did THAT happen?), my husband and I spent years on the sidelines of park district, travel, high school and college soccer, and ended up as fairly devoted followers of English Premier Leagues soccer. We watch the games every weekend morning.

NBCSN is rebroadcasting matches from many past seasons, and we are watching them.

It feels “normal” to have the sounds of a soccer game on the airwaves, and I always enjoy the variety of British accents amongst the commentators. And, an well placed goal or deft save is still exciting, even in replay.

Go ahead and call us pathetic-

1. Cycling fans are watching old spring races

On Twitter, cycling fans use the hashtag #ClassicClassics to organize group watches of old races.

Also, pro cyclists are organizing virtual races on networked indoor trainers.

2. Would never call you pathetic.

We’re a baseball family and I am missing it so much! Watching or listening to my Cubs from opening day to the fall is part of life in this house. My kiddo plays travel ball and damn...not having his games to look forward to every weekend is killing me. Going to have to figure out how to get my baseball tan some other way.

3. In the absence of March Madness ...

I've been scarfing up College Classic BBall on CBSSN.

4. Many reasons to feel sad about all the havoc wrought by the virus.

This may seems trivial, but I feel very sad for all the seniors who would have been playing in the March Madness tourney. A once in a lifetime opportunity snatched away.

5. It's not pathetic Anything that can relieve the stress & worry for even a bit, is worth every minute
