Yep. Work off-line as much as possible and then connect when you need to. It doesn't affect me much but my wife is already wondering how she'll stay busy... and we've barely started the day!

Also fortunate that my wife and I can work from home, the new snag is that the government vpn can't handle all the traffic so they are recommending people stay off it as much as possible. That'll make it tough for a lot of people to get anything done.

Yep, Manitoba is now recommending 14 days isolation for anyone who has traveled anywhere internationally since March 1st. By back-dating it to the 1st, this now applies to me and my wife so we're home bound for the next 6 days (it's retroactive to the day we returned from the US).

Live look at how @Noeller is dealing with the lack of sports:

Vignettes might be a good way to properly introduce some of their lesser known talent too. That's one area I feel like AEW has dropped the ball a bit. They could do something like what ECW did when they starting airing on TNN... the 1st episode did not have a single new match, it was all pre-recorded promos & match highlights to introduce their big stars. Obviously AEW doesn't have to do that for their top guys but there are a number of guys who could benefit from the air time, especially with a 2nd show coming.

So when can we expect the WWE announcement about Mania?

My office is normally a ghost-town because the majority of us have the ability to work from home (and do so often) so there hasn't been much change for me. My wife says people in her office are in full-blown panic mode... to the extent a couple ladies are carrying Lysol spray with them wherever they go. They are having to cancel meetings and conferences scheduled over the next few weeks so her work life has definitely been impacted more than mine.

It was actually quite shocking how non-existent the prevention measures were (from the park and other guests). Only noticed one couple using masks and very few people using hand sanitizer. I wouldn't be surprised if those places end up being hotspots for infection. I can't say it was just there though as we also noticed a lack of people taking precautions in the airports.

I was at Disneyland a week ago... if you didn't watch the news, you would have had no idea this was going on.

UFC event this weekend in Brazil is happening without a crowd. They are contemplating moving other upcoming events to their Apex facility in Vegas.

Ordered mine. Only $35 if you are a STH so I couldn't say no.

Delusional is how I would describe him.

Anytime that clip gets posted, I watch it at least 10-15 times... never gets old!

Doubt it. The league & PA seem to want to get this issue cleared up so the Jones signing will go through, it's just a matter of when.

Agreed. We aren't talking about entire careers being spent with one team. Go in, make your money, do your time and then choose where you want to go... or not. Players might find after a few years that they actually like where they are and are content to stay. If you are really that unhappy prior to becoming a UFA, have your agent try to work out a trade that works for you and the your team. Barring that, suck it up & you can use all that cash you are raking in to wipe away your tears! 😂

I think I saw Michael Allen Richard Clark in there too. Technically not a local guy but he has worked in Winnipeg a fair bit.

Ref was not local. That was Jake Clemons, an indy ref from Ohio.

Yeah, anything that comes out of Condello's mouth should be taken with a healthy dose of salt.

Ah the ol "it was just a joke guys" excuse after getting roasted for having a sh***y idea.

I'll be curious to see if there's a bump after how good the show was this week. Cody's post-match promo was tremendous too. He's had some of the best stuff since AEW launched... he's taken himself to another level with his mic work.
