People on Twitter are trying to decide who should replace Ellen DeGeneres

Who knew 2020 would bring the end to Ellen DeGeneres, I sure didn’t see it coming!

But apparently working on the show is terrible, and I guess Ellen DeGeneres is actually Ellen DeD-bag.

But that has everyone on Twitter thinking, who should replace Ellen??

My favorite tweet was calling for Eric Andre to replace Ellen, but still keep the same name for the show.

This should be an interesting rebranding.

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson Buys XFL for $15 Million

Dwayne Johnson is using some of that movie money to live out his “Ballers” character’s life in the real world.

The Rock announced on twitter that he and his business partners went in together to purchase the XFL, a spring time professional football league, for a measly $15 million.

That is a super low number for an entire football league, in fact there are players in the NFL that make more than that in a single season!

Hopefully they can get back to playing next season since their inaugural season was cut short due to COVID-19.

NHL looks great inside the bubble

NHL returned to the ice this week under strict bubble restrictions in Toronto and Edmonton with an exciting look. When you consider there are no fans at these games, the production around it really spruces up the look and feel of the game on TV. The dubbed-in audio is not nearly as distracting as it has been in MLB games without fans. The crowd noise is in sync with the play as much it can be with being chimed in correlation to the action on the ice.

Kudos to the NHL for getting players in a safety bubble, especially as see other leagues dealing with positive COVID-19 outbreaks like the Miami Marlins in MLB earlier this week.This official video shows how the teams are literally taking an isolated path from hotels, testing for the virus, and the extensive safety protocols.

It helps that the Blackhawks upset the heavily-favored Oilers in their qualifying round opener on Saturday.
