BenFred: Dr. Fauci's optimism for sports something to celebrate

Once upon a time, back when I used to run for reasons other than getting out of a rainstorm, I had a phrase for jogs that did not go well.

“It’s better than sitting on the couch, eating potato chips,” I would tell myself.

The same phrase comes to mind when I think about what sports could look like as they work toward their return from the all-sports shutdown required by the coronavirus pandemic.

Sports fans across the country are sitting on their couch, eating potato chips.

I think most of us will agree that something to watch would be better than nothing.
