1. Caught on Netflix “malice at the Palace” doc. Just a on hour show on it with interviews from key players. In hindisght it looks different. Doesn’t everything? Worth capturing.

2. Ringer podcast, 7 parts on Len Bias. Not just the “what ifs” but the effect on Capital Hill and the laws that followed. Len would be 57 years old now. Nalod saw him play in Chapel Hill his senior year. Post Jordan game. Sat 20th row. He was as advertised. Watching videos now he has the hops of Amare. I can’t speak to his 3 pt range as it was not a thing then but his shot was Durant like. His pull up shot has a bit of Bernard King to it. Not 28 year old Bernard, but for a college kid it was impressive. Good listen if you need some stuff. Simmons “Book of Basketball” series is very good. Im listening to the Rick Barry story.

3. Been watching Succession on HBO. They are all Deplorable but well done. Good looking location of the rich in a soap opera format. “Ted Lasso” on Apple TV. Easy 30 min episodes. Light humor. “Morniing Show” also on Apple with Aniston and Withersppon. Well acted. Good shows were people are not killed and some humor. Life is a bit raw these days.

4. Following the Rachael Nicols thing play itself out. What a mess ESPN created. Personally I think her format/show was getting tired but she had the chops and the cred to carry it. Her comment in my opinon was calling out ESPN’s track record and she was upset they pushed her aside to try to correct it. The optics of that did not look good but that the audio/video of it leaked was as it was awful. Im no legal expert but wonder if she has a legal argument they damaged her. The content was on an ESPN server and someone not authorized leaked it. She basically was saying becuase ESPN ****ed up in the past they were giving her show to someone based on he being black. Not that she was a bad choice or not talented. Not sure in this day and age you can say that not look bad, which is what happened. She looked bad. In a world looking for a “Gotcha” they got her. Maria Taylor left ESPN for NBC, and Nicols is now off air but getting paid. ESPN suffers from ratings decline in part because of cord cutting. They hanged the landscape of TV/sports entertainment. A culture that could do no wrong for years has made many mistakes.

5. NFL. Post Covid world. Post social justice awareness. Will play to full stadiums. No election cycle this year and few major police brutality events. Im not making light light of any of this. Its just football for now.

Might have to try and get a PS5.

I try and look on it as there only being a month until training camp. However, I got a PS5 a couple of months ago for times like these! Been catching up on ps4 games mainly, like Assassin's creed Origins (which I liked a lot, which surprised me as the only other Assassin's creed game I'd played was the third one, which I hated so much I never tried another one!)

you don't play 2k, mlb the show, madden?

Nope! I'm not really a fan of sports games, I prefer games with stories otherwise I get bored quickly

Didn't live up to the reviews and I wouldn't call it his best performance, but I wouldn't have any problems recommending. Then I saw Jui Jitso, which was so bad that I had fun watching it. About an interstellar conqueror who came to earth centuries ago to teach humans Jui Jitso. Now the alien comes back to earth periodically to challenge Earth's chosen champions in an all out bloodbath with the fate of the world in the balance. I wish I was high when watching this. It would've been even more fun. Oh, Pig is about man who goes all out to get revenge for the kidnapping of his beloved truffle pig. I know it sounds like I'm making these plots up, but I'm not.

Careful with watching too many of those Nicolas Cage movies...

Ha, it is- that episode has messed with my mind now whenever I watch a Nicolas Cage movie- it's like that Schrödinger's cat paradox- you can watch the same film twice and perceive him as both a good and bad actor!
