This is a crazy story. I hope this does not end up involving Ohtani in the gambling. He's too good for the game to be tarnished. https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/39768770/dodgers-shohei-ohtani-interpreter-fired-theft

I watched the first episode of Sly Stallone's new TV show, Tulsa King. He plays a mafioso getting out of prison after twenty-five years and his "reward" for staying loyal to the mob is to be exiled to Tulsa to start up a territory there. Martin Starr from Silicon Valley plays the owner of a...

Any Wheel of Time fans out there looking forward to the Amazon Prime show that starts next month? I'm a big fantasy fan, but had held off on reading the Wheel of Time due to the commitment needed to get through the whole series. But I'm now five books in and really enjoying it. At least we...

Anyone watch this show on Netflix? It ran for two seasons on Bravo before being canceled. I stumbled on it while looking for new content and have really enjoyed this one. It's about a guy who is living the perfect married life until he wakes up to find that his wife is gone along with all his...

First he signs LeMahieu to what seems like a team friendly contract and now it looks like they're going to take a one-year flier on Corey Kluber. Not sure what Kluber has left in the tank, but the Yanks don't need him to be an ace. I wonder if this means that Tanaka's time in pinstripes is over.

Is anyone watching this new sci-fi show on HBO Max? I finally figured out how to access HBO Max via my Amazon Fire TV stick and watched the first episode last night. I thought it was well done and hope the rest of the series is this interesting.

Just saw that Greg Bird was DFA'd by Texas. I will admit that I was rooting for Bird over Luke Voit to win the Yankees' 1B job. When Bird came up he looked like he might anchor 1B for a long time. Smooth lefty bat and above average glove. I saw Voit more as an all-or-nothing type of guy...

Much to nobody's surprise, The Captain was voted into the Hall Of Fame. I hope people don't get wrapped around the axle of him not being voted in unanimously as 99.7% is pretty freaking good. That said, I can't imagine the rationale behind not putting him on your ballot. I can accept the...

Anyone watching this sci-fi comedy from Hulu? It's actually pretty funny and doesn't take itself too seriously. Season 2 just dropped and I haven't watched it yet, but I thought Season 1 had a bunch of good laughs. It's produced by Seth Rogen, so expect the Sausage Party type of humor. It...

That's the hypothetical that this NY Times writer poses. If it would bring back the haul the writer mentions, I'd be all for it, but it seems a bit far fetched. Still, something to think about until the real action starts again in a couple of days.

Anyone watching this? I've really been enjoying Season 3 so far. I like the new characters that they've introduced and the choreography for the fighting scenes continues to be top notch. If you're a fan of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon style of martial arts, you'll enjoy this show.

Anyone watching this re-boot? I watched the first episode that aired after the Super Bowl and thought it was pretty good. I was a big fan of the original series for the first few seasons after which it got kind of stale. I'm hoping this version keeps the action at a high pace.

Anyone watching this new show from Netflix? I'm halfway through the eight episode season and have enjoyed it. This show is a bit out there and I struggle to explain what's going on. I think this will be one of those times where there will be a big payoff for sticking with it or I'm going to...

Article from the Charlotte paper on Jeremy Lamb. Mostly a positive article and hopefully Jeremy means what he says when he talks about what it takes to be a consistent player at the NBA level. I always thought his game would translate well to the NBA and he has done well in flashes. It's...

I just finished the seven episode series from the BBC, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell, based on a novel by the same name. I had read the book many years back and don't remember liking it particularly much, but a friend recommended the show and it had pretty strong reviews on Rotten Tomatoes...

I have seen some positive, early reviews for this show that starts mid-July on Netflix. The trailers definitely look intriguing.

Anyone looking forward to Any Given Wednesday on HBO starring Bill Simmons? Looks like it's set to start in a few weeks. I'll give it a try, but my expectations are low. I used to really enjoy his Sports Guy columns on ESPN, but felt like his work had really gone downhill over the past couple...

I watched the entire ten-episode season last week while visiting my family. It's a remake of a British show from a few years back. Some familiar faces in the cast that you'll recognize. It's about four friends traveling to Belize to visit an old friend and one crazy thing after another...

Another good series from Netflix. I am not a comic book guy, so I was unfamiliar with the Jessica Jones character before watching the series. I found out later that the Jessica Jones stories are primarily told in the Max series of Marvel Comics which targets a more adult audience. After...

Just saw the trailer for Creed, the new spinoff from the Rocky franchise. I'm a total sucker for Rocky and have seen every entry in the series on the big screen. This one stars Michael B. Jordan from Friday Night Lights fame as Apollo's son. Looks great.

Anyone watching this new Netflix series, Sense8? It's done by the same folks that did The Matrix movies. It doesn't have all the special effects that those movies did, but it has the same stylish feel. They made the first season (12 episodes) available this past weekend and I binged a bit...

Has anyone been watching the new show on A&E called, The Returned? Apparently it's a very close copy of a popular French series. I've watched the first two episodes and found it to be pretty good. A solid cast including a couple of familiar faces from other popular series. The plot is about...

Netflix is launching a new series on Marco Polo. The trailer looks great. I read that all ten episodes from the first season will be available on Friday. Looks like they're going for something on the epic scale of Game of Thrones.

I have the season recording on my dvr, but i struggled to get through the pilot episode and haven't watched a second episode. Now they're starting to pile up and I'm wondering if it's worth giving it another chance or should i free up the dvr space. I typically enjoy the FX shows, but I'm not...

..with teaching him how to take care of his body for a long career. They probably had the conversations over a couple of doobies, but so what. It's a small footnote in a nice article about Wallace & Jerry Stackhouse. "Wallace credits Cliff Robinson with teaching him how to take care of his...

Just saw the announcement that Roger Clemens has been cleared of all charges on his perjury trial. I guess the jury found Brian McNamee too untrustworthy. I know there is a difference between "not guilty" and "innocent", but I wonder whether the baseball world will embrace Clemens as one of...
