BTB Friday Open Thread: Do all sports going on right now help with football not being here?

Football

Welcome to our Friday open thread!

Over the last few weeks we have been launching daily discussion prompts here on the blog and the purposes is obviously for the greatest community of Dallas Cowboys fans that there is to talk about matters relevant to the team. For the most part our prompts are related to the current happenings of the Cowboys themselves.

But this is the offseason and it is Friday which means we can venture off on a tangent or two from time to time. Last week we asked who your favorite baseball teams were what with Major League Baseball beginning play and we got all sorts of answers. The Texas Rangers (obviously), New York Yankees (our cliché), Pittsburgh Pirates (Paul Skenes is on my fantasy team), Chicago Cubs (shout out Kyle Tucker) and Houston Astros (yours truly) were all among those represented.

Today we are sticking with a world of sports theme and asking if the number of them going on across sport in general help you pass the time in an NFL offseason. As noted baseball is now going on, the NBA playoffs are around the corner, Lord Stanley will be fought for soon enough, The Masters is next week. Basically there is something for everybody right now.

But maybe you feel like none of that matters because football is the only thing that matters.

Let us know in the comments down below!
