The behind the scenes people at ESPN working this Draft have never faced conditions like this. They’ll be wearing masks. They’ll be dealing with tech they HOPE works. All while juggling mentally the very real worry of working inside a building of people during COVID.

That’s a lot to ask. Thinking about those people tonight. They care about their jobs and craft. Not an easy one tonight, Friday and Saturday.

Update: What's frustrating but naturally unsurprising is anyone below assigning equality on what ESPN production staffers are doing tonight with hospital workers/nurses from this tweet. What sane person on earth would think they are equal? But nothing surprises on this site.
