I plan to see the remaining four Best Picture nominees I haven't seen - that, Joker, Jojo Rabbit, and Ford v. Ferrari - even though I can't say I'm terribly excited about any of them. I just like to talk about the awards, and to do that you have to see all or most of the nominees. I will see all the international & animated nominees too.

Chris Shaw anything more than replacement-level in San Fran?
Keith Law
1:54
I don't think so.

Do you find any benefit from self-journaling?
Keith Law
1:54
I have never done so, sorry.

Mendoza just released a statement saying that being an employee of the Mets doesn't shape her opinion LOL. She must be reading the chat.
Keith Law
1:55
The criticism of those comments has been very widespread.

Hi Keith,  Based on initial pro scouting looks are their any recent draft picks that you have heard being ranked higher than where they were picked last summer?
Keith Law
1:55
You'll see in a month.
Actually it might be the week of 2/24, rather than 2/17. It's my editors' call but I believe it'll be the former (later).

What do you see as the most likely role for Jazz Chisholm?
Keith Law
1:55
Star at shortstop.

Florence Pugh is now signed up to be in a bunch of Marvel movies. Let us wallow in sadness.
Keith Law
1:56
Well, good for her for getting paid, I guess.

Keith, I live in a capitol city with truly dismal bagel options. I've toyed around with the idea of trying to make my own (on a small scale, at least at first) but ideally I'd like to replicate Montreal style bagels, which need a wood oven. Do you know of any way to replicate that process without actually having a wood oven?
Keith Law
1:56
I have made NY-style bagels with a baking soda solution for boiling (no lye, that seemed excessive) and was happy with the results, although I clearly need work on shaping.

Hi Keith. I’m leading an after school board game club and would like to add a few games from your list. Any suggestions for 10-14 year olds that can be played in an hour or less?
Keith Law
1:57
Any of the games I mentioned above would be good for this group. You could expand a bit with Carcassonne, Wingspan (if you can find it), Pandemic, New Bedford, Sagrada, Azul.

Favorite Rush era?
Keith Law
1:59
I don't think of them in terms of eras; I thought the Chronicles two-disc greatest hits set was incredible, but didn't listen to anything after Roll the Bones (which was not good).
Jay

Proper response to Grant's R&R HOF comment was that if they think they can keep Priest out they've got another thing coming (sorry)
Keith Law
1:59
Nice.

What is your favorite restaurant in the Phoenix area? -Tom J. Gilbert AZ
Keith Law

The Hillside Spot, Crepe Bar, FnB.
Porker

Not to mention, this administration removed quality standards on pork, so all the more important to know where it's sourced.
Keith Law

The rollbacks in food quality, food safety, and environmental regulations should be the ideal talking point for whoever the Democratic candidate is, because those rules affect every single American, and rollbacks disproportionately hurt those less well-off who lack the resources or even the options that others have (to, say, buy meat at Whole Foods).

If I offer Rutledge, Kieboom amd say tres barrera get me Kris Bryant?
Keith Law
2:01
No.

On your top 10 pros to be traded, how highly rated are they?  Are we talking top 50, 100 or fringe level.  Thanks
Keith Law
2:01
I think only two were on my top 100.
were/would be/whatever, it's late
Chris
2:01
Which is more difficult to learn/teach: Wingspan or Taverns of Tiefenthal?
Keith Law
2:02
Taverns is a bit more involved because you have a lot to think about, but I found the turns really rolled (pun intended) once we got into it.
Ben Z

Holy god Joker is not a great movie. Phoenix is admirably going for it, but hes basically Freddie Quill from The Master (an actual masterpiece) but in a Scorsese rip off with no intellectual coherence.
Keith Law
2:03
Enough critics and people whose opinions on movies I value and trust have said this, or something similar to it, that I have my doubts that it is worth the accolades it's received. I'll see for myself soon.
John

Do you mind if your fans ask you questions about prospects under your articles on FB?
Keith Law
2:03
I don't mind questions at all, but bear in mind I can't answer every question I'm asked across all fora - I just don't have time.
James

Any thoughts on the record breaking salary arbitrations? Bellinger, Betts, etc.?
Keith Law
2:04
Good. Owners are rolling in it. The players should get paid too.
Ryan

Per your recommendation, my wife and I had a date night just sitting at a bar playing 7 Wonders Duel.  It was really enjoyable, thank you!
