    Reminds me of a story they had on NPR a couple weeks ago, when people were first told to "shelter in place".
    Some sports announcer took to announcing (on YouTube) the pedestrian traffic outside his apartment.
    It was hilarious listening to him "sports" announce how people were crossing the street.

    I have no interest in watching old games where I know the outcome, although I have recently watched World Series highlights on YouTube from 1959, 1961, and 1962. I am, however, running a simulation of the 2020 MLB season on a program called Out of the Park Baseball. I'm 24 games in, playing late April games at the moment.

      How can you claim in the first part of the sentence that you have no interest in doing exactly what you say you do in the last part of the sentence?

      You’re trying to make sure I’m paying attention, aren’t you?

    There is a difference. Most of the old games shown in ESPN, SNY, YES, etc. are specific ones where I know the outcome. With the three World Series I mentioned, I knew the overall outcome but did not know which team won each game except, of course, for the deciding one.

    That makes sense.

    I watched a few holes of golf, but that quickly got boring. I haven't watched anything else.

      Was it rerun golf?  Heck, there’s no way to distinguish between how boring it was the first time around and then in reruns, right?
