Movie Monday

Monday, March 30, 2026

I made the brilliant decision to take my young bride to a movie matinee today.

It was a good move on my part if I do say so myself.

We both loved this well crafted film

Ryan Gosling was excellent as the movies bashful but highly intelligent hero.

Laurie and I highly recommend Project Hail Mary for your viewing pleasure.

We finish with EuroBall news . . .

Yesterday, I posted this poster about the

Italian 7-Man Football Championship

  

The Valtellina Vikings swamped

the Salento Spiders for the crown

In the third Place Game, the San Giorgio Jonico Vespe held off the Brianza Commandos, 28-20.

All four of these teams played two games in two days, Semifinals on Saturday plus Sunday's finals.

Passion.

Spanish DI Standings

In the Western Conference, the Las Rozas Black Demons (6-1) and the Osos Rivas (5-2-1) have secured the conference's two playoff slots.

The Eastern Conference's two playoff spots are probably going to the Terrassa Reds (5-1) and the Badalona Dracs (5-1-1).

There is only one game left in the Spanish DI regular season save for Terrassa Reds and Valencia Firebats (3-3) who still have to make up a weather postponed game from earlier this season on April 19th.

With Easter Sunday next weekend, there will be no games played in Spain.

On Saturday, April 11th, our Gijón Mariners (1-5-1) will host the Coslada Camioneros (1-5-1) in the last game of the 2026 season for both teams. Earlier this year, in Madrid, Coslada took the measure of the Mariners, 21-14.

My inside sources in Lyon tell me to forget the standings, the Northern Conference leading Thonon-les-Bains Black Panthers are far and away the best team in France's top division.

Another Good Day in California!
