...this thread: is brought to you by the 2019 Masters. Great TV.

I"m thinking we can keep this running for a few weeks when we see something worth watching again?

You up for it?
 
There was this great sports movie about a catcher who'd been bouncing around the minors for like twelve years, and becomes disillusioned after helping a young pitcher make it to the majors (who was then falsely jailed for killing his wife) and goes to Chicago to break up organized crime. Again disillusioned, he joins the military, but becomes disillusioned and strikes out on his own, encountering Native Americans. His military past catches up with him and, again disillusioned and negatively affected by the rise in sea level, not to mention poor reviews and abysmal box office receipts, he becomes a sort of Mad Max flotsam, only to be again - yes, disillusioned - and he goes to grow corn in Iowa, using baseball to conjure up an ancestor.

Dances with Untouchable, Dreaming Shawshanked Water Bulls. Now that I think about it, I probably shouldn't fall asleep in the recliner with TNT playing any more.
 
I have found a rather obscure way of helping to quell the withdrawal. I'm not like a huge MLB fan these days. But, I sure was back in the 1980's and some of the 1990's. After the strike in 1994-1995, my interest in it waned. So..I have found complete games from the 80's on YT. Nothing in the title of the videos gives anything away as far as the end result or anything. So, I watch those, not having any idea how they will turn out. It's the closest thing to current sports I can think of. If I can locate college football games that I don't already know the end result, or that don't give anything away in the title, I'll watch them as well.
