It’s the weekend.

A two-day period filled with endless possibilities. What a time.

But this weekend feels way out of sorts. We’re all waking up to a world where sports are at a standstill as the coronavirus concerns rise.

Barred from the outlet of sports, now what? What is going to tide us sports junkies over while the country waits out the suspensions and cancellations?

So what? I have to stay home this weekend? With my family?? And what???! Am I supposed to like…talk to them??? WITHOUT live sports on in the background at least? Not even NASCAR??? WHY??? WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS THAT??????

Luckily, those across the sports landscape are giving us a good look of what they’re up to.

Hopefully these spark some sort of inspiration, or make you shed a tear:

Great binge-watching shows because you know, no sports.

Each show is at least 3 seasons:

– Arrested Development
– The Office
– 30 Rock
– Parks & Rec
– Psych
– Eastbound & Down (baseball!)
– Schitt’s Creek
– The Good Place
– One Tree Hill (basketball and early 00s nostalgia)
