First-Time Dads, Diehard Fans Tim Bayer

Correction: Clearly, I still can't figure out my positives and negatives. I mistakenly said NHL players who leave the bubble and return will need four straight positive tests before they can return to play, when I obviously meant four straight negative tests.  

In our ninth episode, Nick, Jarryd, and I discuss Ethan and Laura's health issues, living as a first-time parent, watching sports with a baby, Jarryd's baby monitor and breast pump recommendations, surprisingly useful baby products, reading to your child, the crawling/learning to walk stage, the NHL playoff qualifiers and round-robin games, Jake Muzzin's injury, the FA Cup final, and the Champions League restart.

Correction: Peacock Premium will air 175 Premier League games next season. I mistakenly said they would be showing all Premier League games. Viewers in the U.S. will still need access to NBC Sports Network to view the rest of the 380 Premier League games next season: https://worldsoccertalk.com/2020/07/09/nbc-moves-premier-league-games-from-gold-to-peacock-for-2020-21-season/  

I had microphone issues and Nick couldn't get his video to work for a while, but we soldiered on! We discussed Nick's chipmunk adventure, breastfeeding highs and lows, fall school (including college sports) uncertainty, NBA and NHL training camps opening up, more COVID issues with the MLS, fake crowd noise, Chelsea feels the blues, the Champions League draw, the release of NBC's Peacock streaming service, and more!
