Off-season Blank?

[WashCaps33]

Just now doing this project. Is it normal that the LED stays blank during the off-season?

Form what I can tell but running the app......it looks like ESPN API is not responding. Might be because we are not in season....Not sure.

This may have been related to #27 but I'll leave it open and remind myself to make a generic off-season screen
