HBO and The Ringer’s Bill Simmons is joined by Ryen Russillo to discuss how COVID-19 has rocked the world and everything in it, including sports. They discuss the possibility of a lost NBA season, how the playoffs might work if the league resumes play, NBA players and owners covering arena workers’ wages, and what the NBA awards would look like if the season ended right now. Then they ask “What will sports analysts talk about after a month of no sports?” They also give some TV, movie, and book recommendations, answer mailbag questions, and more!
