Chasing a wheel of cheese, marble rolling, and Sasquatch calling might not be what people consider typical sports. But with the coronavirus pandemic putting mainstream sports on hold, it’s all ESPN has to offer.
"It was a little bit surreal," says Kimes, who is also a frequent NFL analyst for the network."We're continuing to talk about that on all my shows, even with the knowledge that no one really knows, you know, when the NFL or any other sport is coming back."
Schaap interviewed champion thoroughbred trainer Bob Baffert, as horse racing is one of the few major sports still taking place — though with no fans in the stands. And ESPN resurrectedabout an annual event in which scores of Britons cast aside good judgment to chase a wheel of cheese speeding down the side of a steep hill in Gloucestershire."It's a weird position for the network to be in," Schaap says.
"Let's hope we're in a position a few weeks from now, a couple months from now, that people can can care about sports and that it's not entirely irrelevant."
