It really is weird, especially college sports since some conferences aren't even playing or they started later.

The Baseball season was especially strange, with the Astros having a losing season and still making it into the playoffs, and although it was good that the Los Angeles Dodgers won the World Series after so many years, it doesn't seem the same.

Very happy about that, especially since I had that game as a lost due to the Ravens having a bye

It really doesn't feel the same. My dad keeps saying there's an asterisk involved in all championships this season as a result. It's just too different. Championships count of course but it's still not the same.

Exactly.

Another example of an asterisk being involved is when Roger Maris beat Babe Ruth's single season home run record of 60 home runs. Maris hit 61 home runs in 1961, but it took him more games to do it as 154 regular season games were played in 1927, when Ruth hit 60 home runs, but 162 regular season games were played in 1961 when Maris hit 61 home runs.

Precisely! Perfect example.

Okay, lol.

Steelers have a chance to really separate from Baltimore. They already have but even moreso in the coming games.

Thanks for the vid and link!

I think it's a good move. Not attached to him long-term but can be if they want to be eventually. Basically gave up not much to get even better on their elite defensive side.

You?

Williamson, 28, originally joined the Jets as one of the club's top free agent signings in 2018. A four-year starter with the Tennessee Titans prior to relocating to the Big Apple, the Kentucky product has been a mostly steady defender when healthy. Although he missed all of 2019 with a torn ACL, Williamson logged at least 100 tackles in three of his first five NFL seasons and has been especially active in 2020, racking up 56 tackles, three pass deflections and an interception in seven starts for the Jets.

Williamson, who will become a free agent following the season, figures to step in as an immediate contributor on Pittsburgh's D, where the team had called upon reserve Robert Spillane to fill Bush's inside linebacker spot in recent weeks.
