Last week was a wild one for college football, but (in true 2020 fashion) a new day brings even more drama. With a petition circulating to reinstate the Big Ten season, players testing positive for COVID-19 and players’ parents even getting in on the action, the possibility of fall football is still uncertain.

The NBA gave us two weeks of seeding games that literally no one asked for, but now that the snoozefest is over, it’s time for the good part: playoffs!

The bubbles are working. The WNBA, NBA and NHL, three leagues playing inside bubble environments, have collectively gone another week without a positive COVID-19 test. So why the heck isn’t everyone sticking to the bubble plan?

After much back and forth, the Big Ten and Pac-12 have officially postponed all fall sports and will instead look to play a spring football season. Meanwhile, the remaining three conferences in the Power Five still plan to play sports this fall. Unsurprisingly, there’s a range of reactions to the news.

This week co-hosts Ellen and Steph give #thegist of the first round of the NHL playoffs, (including their hot picks), and deep dive into what the NBA’s play-in tournament will look like. It’s the playoffs, baby...you never know what’s going to happen. Tune in.

It’s Stanley Cup playoff time...but for real now. The qualifiers and round-robin are over, and after a few wild upsets, the first round of playoffs is set to begin. Bring it on!

It’s the final week of seeding games in the NBA, and with the top spots all set, our attention is on the battle for eighth place in the Western Conference.

When the U.S. Open begins on August 31st (with a smaller paycheck than normal), only one of last year’s champs will be there to defend their title: Bianca Andreescu is in, Rafael Nadal is out.

Early August normally marks the beginning of college football preseason, but (and stop us if you’ve heard this one before) COVID-19 is forcing some changes. As conferences continue to announce adjustments to their schedules, players are joining forces to demand safer conditions, while one school has suspended its football season altogether.
