#2 London how do you see the outbreak impacting the Quakes chances to make post season they really needed that game against LAFC now that’s in the rearview mirror the Quakes host the Seattle Sounders on Saturday night and hold the last and final playoff spot eighth place in the MLS Western Conference.

#3 Turning to the NFL: The San Francisco 49ers are coming off a 37-27 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The 49ers have lost three of their last five games and after Sunday’s loss in Seattle have a short turnaround and host the Green Bay Packers on Thursday Night Football.

#4 The Las Vegas Raiders (4-3) had their defense capitalize on the Cleveland Browns (5-3) Sunday when the Raiders shut the Browns out in the first and fourth quarters and the Browns only got two field goals in the second and third quarters. The Raiders who got ten points in the fourth quarter saw quarterback Derek Carr throw to wide receiver Hunter Renfrow for the game’s only touchdown in the 16-6 win.

#5 London, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver is pushing the urgency to get the NBA season started in December with a 72 game schedule stating that the league stands to lose over $1 billion if they start later than that. The players have responded saying the season should start mid January. The owners have said they might go for a 50 game regular season, the owners have expressed their concern for revenue loss with no fans and to make that up with limited fans, sports betting, casinos, and hard alcohol. The owners would hope such an introduction would increase league revenue between $80 to $100 million.
