    Shogun (FX | Hulu)

    I just subscribed to Hulu just to watch Shogun because of the good reviews on this site and others. I saw the old Shogun and recently reread the book. I hope it is s as good as I hope.

    Drew Brees-backed Smalls Sliders looks to open 22 locations across the Phoenix metro

    A White Castle recently opened at Warner and I-10 in Tempe. I grew up in Detroit and love White Castle. Now I go there for a treat about one time a week.

    Week 5 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 02/05/24-02/11/24

    During the Arians years, the stadium was one of the loudest in football. Cardinal fans are some of the best when winning. Not so much in bad years.

    Week 5 of the Arizona Cardinals off season. 02/05/24-02/11/24

    I think the seat location determines when and how much the price increase has been. Our lower-level tickets for the 23 season went up about $1,000, which is more than 25%. That is one of the reasons we did not renew last year after 25+ years. These were relatively expensive seats for SFS...

    Peaky Blinders (Netflix)

    Started watching this. It is really good. I started it because of the discussion on this site. Because of the strong accents, some of the dialog is difficult for me to understand, so I use closed caption along with listening.

    Championship Weekend Games 2024

    You have to also consider that Campbell has very little confidence in the kicker to make 46 and 48 yard field goals. Michael Bagley was just signed off the practice squad in December, and is 13 of 24 in his career from 45-50 yards. Bagley was not asked to kick more that 41 yards in the last...

    Napoleon

    I read a lot of history, and read "Napoleon: A life" by Zamyski, and was fascinated by his portrayal in a great book. I am looking forward to seeing the movie, but do you think I will be disappointed in the movie?

    Best burgers in the Valley

    This probably does not count as a "best burger" for this thread, but White Castle just opened in Ahwatukee. Growing up in Detroit, White Castle was a high school late night staple. Thirty years later, I get the sliders about once a week as a light appetizer.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    Is that Freely's Taproom in Tempe? That is a great place.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    I apologize, I reported what my sports bar guy told me. He was wrong, and I was wrong. Still, it is worth it to me to watch a month of NFL playoff games for $5.99 at home.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    I am not an IT guy, but it would seem difficult to have Wi-Fi for 30+ TVs.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    Direct TV has a multiyear contract with the NFL to provide Sunday Ticket to commercial establishments. If a sports bar previously had Direct TV they do not need streaming to show all the games.

    Peacock becomes home of first-ever exclusive live streamed NFL playoff game

    Since Direct TV dropped Sunday Ticket, I had to subscribe to YouTube TV to watch all the games. It is a lot more expensive and not as easy to use. Also, it is a hassle to switch back and forth from games on CBS to YouTube games. I doubt if I do YouTube Sunday Ticket next season. Direct TV and...

    OT: Other games 12-23/25-23

    I just subscribed to Peacock for that reason at only $5.99 mo. Not for only tonight's games, but because the NFC playoffs are on NBC, and I am a Lions fan. I will cancel after the NFL season.

    Arizona Cardinals @ Chicago Bears Pregame Thread. 12/17/23-12/23/23

    Do not underestimate the Bears. Their defense is playing very well, and Fields is now playing how he was expected to when he was drafted. I expect the Bears to stop our run game, which is the only offense we really have, and Fields is capable of playing better than Murray.

    Killers of the Flower Moon (AppleTV+)

    Just saw Killers of the Flower Moon at IMAX. Very good movie, but too long and, as normal, not as good as the book. This is my third movie at IMAX in a year or so: Dune, Oppenheimer, and this one. Killer is my least favorite, but still a good movie. Next IMAX is Napolean.

    Giants at the Cardinals gameday thread 9-17-23

    Similar to you, I purchased Cardinal season tickets in 1995, and did not renew them this season, for many reasons. I grew up in Detroit and have always been a Lions fan, but I also always wanted season tickets. I gradually became a more serious Cardinal fan than Lions fan and really enjoyed...

    Craft Beer

    For those who live in Ahwatukee, the Wren House has opened a tap room at the southeast corner of Chandler Blvd. and 40th Street. It is called Sudhalle and will have a limited food menu next week. Wren House makes good beer.

    New York Giants @ Arizona Cardinals Pre Game Thread. 09/10/23-09/16/23

    That is not how it works. Digital tickets are transferred via the Seatgeek App. Seatgeek cannot transfer that digital ticket unless it is valid, and two Apps cannot have that same digital code.

    QB 1 (?) Josh Dobbs

    I don't get your obsession with Tune, other than a cool name. He is a 5th round draft pick rookie that was a 50% passer in pre-season against 2nd and 3rd defenses. He may improve to a competent back up, but the coaches have seen much more in practice than we have in the pre-season games, and...

    Third down Efficiency

    Exactly. That is why they overpaid for a 39 year old kicker who is mediocre at medium field goals, but one of the best in history at 50+.

    Renovations? Renovations to chase field you say?

    I have read information and talked to people who work there, and there are serious structural problems that need repairing such as the roof cables and water leaks. That will be very expensive.

    Oppenheimer

    I just watched Oppenheimer at IMAX in Arizona Mills. I had recently rewatched Dunkirk Wednesday on Netflix. It is hard to compare movies, and I think Dunkirk is a great movie. Trying my best to discount the IMAX experience, I believe Oppenheimer is better, and affected me more. It was three...
