JARED QUAY: It's a downright miracle they had baseball opening day in Korea yesterday. And 'rona ain't the only reason why. Not only was there rain delay, but that was a goddamn fire delay. So, if you're following at home, that's disease, rain, and fire. Check out my end of times bingo card! All I need is a swarm of locusts, and your boy is in the money. The KBO who has pretty high level play, and once the games finally started, it looked a lot like MLB. There were cheerleaders, but no crowds. Home runs, but no high fives. Call it what you want, but it ain't the KBO until the stadium sounds like this.

JARED QUAY: THE NFL is really stretching the meaning of must-see TV. On Thursday, they're going to release the 2020 schedule during a three-hour TV broadcast. Must be for folks who think the draft show is too damn exciting.
- Come on, you guys can do better than that. All right, keep it coming.
JARED QUAY: Of course, this TV can make watching anything exciting. It's the new Jumbotron they're about to raise at SoFi Stadium in LA. Damn, they might try to fit all 60,000 fans on the Zoom call. I'm just playing. Chargers ain't got 60,000 fans.
BOTH: Damn!
JARED QUAY: To get ready for the 2020 election, I'm gonna practice choosing between two old guys. And I'm going to need your help. Frank Gore, or Marshawn Lynch? Gore just signed a one-year deal with the Jets. He is the third leading rusher in NFL history, but if he plays next season, he'll be the oldest man who ever lived. All right, nah, he's only 37, but that's ancient for running backs. Just ask Marshawn Lynch. He's reportedly discussing his own one-year deal with the Seahawks. He's been retired a few times, but he's only 34. Spring chicken. Which old dude would you rather hand the ball off to? Find us on Twitter and Yahoo Sports and let us know. And while y'all sort out who's better on the field, we'll leave you with proof that off the field, there's no contest.
- Marshawn out here for the people, man.
- Look, he gave us some some beast mode masks.
- Right? Appreciate you son!
MARSHAWN LYNCH: 365 days a week. Sign it! Alarming! Oh, my god. And me being broke as I am, I'm about to find a way to treat my lineman to sit.
