Anyone know what the Untitled Marvel Movie scheduled for May 2020 is? And does anyone think they're going to do the switcheroo for a third straight year?

Black Widow is the best contender as I think all the others haven't started yet.

Yeah, I'd agree with that: "Black Widow", or "Dr. Strange 2: Eclectic Booglaoo".

As for The Sweetch, I just don't know. You can shear a sheep many times, but skin him just the once. That being said, I wouldn't bet against it.

What a win Nico. Nearly 1.5b putting even us A Division lads to shame. An incredible achievement.

I TOLD you that pick had a 500 million dollar range of outcomes! And it turns out its going to come pretty damn close to the high end of it. A league-winning 4th rounder.

Thanks. Like I said at the time: It was a BIG gamble -- an insane one, to some -- but, I thought, a VERY good bet, and it ended up being the difference-maker. I took at least four big chances, and they pretty much paid off -- "4vengers", sure, but also "Halloween", "Bohemian Rhapsody", and "The Mule" -- and I had a couple fails, too ("Grindlemeh", especially). And, then, there was "Aquaman", probably also a bit of a flier, but I had to go with my gut, and I knew I would have NO chance to compete for one of the prized Div A promotions, if I played it safe. I needed to go big, or go home, and the release calendar just happened to accommodate those sorts of risks.

This year will be different. I'm going to keep playing Moneyball -- trying to ascertain value where others aren't -- but this season's going to be tougher.

My advice? Go with your gut, trust your instincts, and figure out what your risk tolerance / threshold is, every Round, and make changes as necessary based on that. Calculate floors and look for high ceiling potential, and don't shy away from that outside fastball. You might just hit a dinger over the right-field wall.

Best of luck, all. You got this.

I just realized: Neither JAS, nor I EVER led the standings in our respective Divisions, for a single week of the contest, until the final rankings. Is that a record?

If it happened before, it would have been last year, on the back of Infinity War. Otherwise, don't think the final week of April has ever been worth anything.

I'm gonna put it down to the flukeiest of flukes, myself, then. I don't know that this sort of thing can be replicated, never mind, intentionally ever pursued again. But I'm sure JAS and I will take it, and gratefully. :)
