Our Main Story Today.

(Look down below)


So much to talk about regarding this week which has been absolutely madness, and there's plenty more to get today ladies and gentlemen. Last Thursday, we found out how many games will be played for 2020-2021 season of the NBA, thanks to the National Basketball Players Association (NBPA). They have tentatively approved a 72-game regular season to commence on December 22, 2020, and talk is still going on about how both players and owners will reduced travel by taking move out of the MLB's playbook. The main goal to this as most of us know by know is so that the NBA Finals are once again played in June, allowing NBA players to participate in the Summer Olympics in Tokyo, Japan. ESPN's NBA reporter Adrian Wojnarowski had said in a tweet that players and owners are finishing financial terms on an amended CBA, which will take into next week, and by now it is "next week." Adrian Wojnarowski went on to say in this tweet that we (NBA fans) can "Expect trade moratorium to be lifted shortly prior to Nov. 18 Draft," and in another tweet, he would say that "The NBA and NBPA are expected to discuss moving up the start of free agency as early as possible to accommodate players joining new teams so close to a Dec. 1 start of training camps." So a lot must be done before the new season starts on a special Christmas week and there's not a lot a time to get it all done, but the NBA will do its best to give fans the best season possible. As we wait for basketball to return, we can look forward to some football in the next couple of weeks, let's see what on the table for Week Nine of the NFL in a new Max Sports rundown featuring the results of a hard-hitting AEW Full Gear event last on pay-per-view and on B/R Live.

As you saw from up above, our Main Story this week is also our Saturday Story in the 7-Day Round-Up, and it's the only thing that the United States of America can't stop celebrating about. Just a couple of minutes before 11:30AM yesterday morning, CNN announced that the projected winner of Pennsylvania and Nevada in the 2020 Presidential Election is Former Vice President Joe Biden, which means that he has reached pass 270 Electoral votes to win the Presidency. True story, I was sitting in front of computer writing notes for biology class and with one head phone piece in my right ear, listening to a movie I might add, when I heard some chatter going on MSNBC, and that's when I saw. Joe Biden, not only the project winner of Pennsylvania, but winner of the 2020 Race for President, I ran upstairs to see if my mom had gotten the news since she always turns to MSNBC in the morning, but when I got to her room, she was on the phone and didn't even notice what was happening on TV. So I had to point it out to her and she was stunned, I was like "you were standing right there and you couldn't just turn around a little and see?" As the news began to break across all the major broadcast and cable news networks, the celebration began across the country as well, people in New York, Philly, Atlanta, Washington D.C., and even overseas were going nuts for Joe Biden. We've heard little from our Current President Donald Trump, but we do we know he won't accept these results and so the court battle will begin soon. But while as we all feel "not" sorry for for D.T., we can all beat drums and sip champagne for J.B, for the days to come, in fact, see what it been in the past 24 hours in a super duper Post-Election of the Web Choice playlist.
