OT: The Kentucky Derby

Beginning tomorrow, I will do a watered down version of the field entered for the Derby.

I'm not gonna get very indepth like last year, since I had a handful of my "nonfans" that lack interest, understanding or the attention span to appreciate what I was doing. (Once again, I promise not to stick that knife in their backs and force them to read something they have no interest in).

On the surface, it looks like any one of 8 horses are legitimate contenders in the 20 horse field. I don't plan on doing a complete field of personality traits that aid or hinder each horse. If a poster wants some input on a particular horse, maybe a day or so before the Derby I will put something together to honor their request. But, its pointless to do 10 horses that likely have zero shot at being factors.

This time I'll add a couple of components that very few people are aware of. After Tuesday, I won't be adding much to the content as I will be playing some horseraces.

OT: Shogun and Fallout

Anyone watch these shows? What do you think?

I went into both with no foreknowledge from the prior series/book and video games, respectively.

Shogun is great in terms of production values. I really appreciate the work it takes to make things look awesome. To me, the writing and pacing makes it feel like there are gaps...like characters disappear for long stretches, seemingly important threads are dropped or quickly resolved. Overall - have enjoyed. 7/10

Fallout, on the other hand, is good and getting better and better as it goes (6 eps in...2 to go). Lots to praise, though not perfect. 8.5/10 for me right now.

2024 NFL Draft

general spot for draft talk.

curious to know any hot takes someone might have.

my hot take is that Drake Maye will slip in the draft as well as bust in the NFL. don't have a reason other than intuition, i get a Zach Wilson air about his game. I also believe that in retrospect, people will laugh at how many teams passed on Rome Odunze, much like Justin Jefferson.
