Many Americans have responded differently to various stay-at-home and shelter-in-place orders due to the novel coronavirus, and the New Orleans Saints are no exception. Drew Brees has used his new free time to negotiate a post-retirement broadcasting contract with NBC, while Sean Payton has gotten active on Twitter and taken to cyberbulling the NFC South-rival Atlanta Falcons.

As for Alvin Kamara: he’s playing a lot of “Call of Duty,” as are many other 24-year-olds around the country. But he’s not just honing his skills in the popular video game. Kamara agreed to become the first guest on “The Warzone,” a new Twitch-streamed program from Bleacher Report, where he’ll be joining senior writer Master Testfatsion for a few hours of mayhem and casual conversation.

Kamara is scheduled to appear from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. CT on Monday; you can follow along at this link. The Saints’ Pro Bowl running back recently debuted his own Twitch channel where he can be seen chatting with fans while competing with friends and other pro athletes. With most of the early offseason program canceled and Saints players staying at home, this might be the most we’ll see of Kamara for quite some time.

The NBA 2K Players Tournament …

The NBA 2K Players Tournament culminated in a battle of Valley Boyz. Devin Booker defeated Deandre Ayton as two of the most prominent members of the Phoenix Suns squared off in the best-of-three final. As the champion of the tournament created in partnership by the league and NBA 2K amid the season’s suspension, Booker received $100,000 to donate to the charity helping in the fight against the coronavirus of his choice. Booker took Game 1 of the final series 72-62 using the Rockets against the Lakers. In Game 2, the guard beat his own big man 74-62 using the Nuggets against the Bucks.

There was some good-natured trash talk …

There was some good-natured trash talk throughout from the teammates, which made for a fun finale. “Undefeated tournament. Thanks to 2K for putting this on. Lots of good competition out here,” Booker said after his victory. In a follow-up interview with Ronnie 2K, Booker reiterated how impressed he was with Ayton’s tournament. “I knew what Deandre was capable of. We have played in the past. He’s definitely a gamer,” Booker said.
