Earnhardt Amazon Prime Documentary Series (2025)

Earnhardt is a good documentary series done on Amazon Prime last year.   Tons of good information in these four episodes.  I'm sure most of it is out there but seeing it all here in one piece and done as well as it was really made it a good watch.  It follows his early life to when he passed during the Talladega race.  Dale Jr. plays a big part of the documentary which makes sense.  His sister Kelly is a good part of it as well.  Competitors, teammates, crew, and family help round it out.  I thought Jr., Kelly, and Darrel Waltrip stood out but everyone who was in it did a good job.  His on-track accolades are highlighted as well as his struggles and his family life too.  Lots of insight into who he was.  Very enjoyable.  I think each episode is about 1 hour long.  

Today starts the 2026 NASCAR season in earnest as the Daytona Speedweek kicks off with the two duels tonight.  The Daytona 500 is 2:30 EST on Sunday.  This week's Daytona schedule is here.

 

Bosch (2014-2021) and Bosch: Legacy (2022-2025)

Bosch & Bosch: Legacy:  These series follows LA detective Harry Bosch and those around him.  He's an old school detective.  This is a pretty easy series to watch and easy to like.  Plenty of good characters and storylines.  It's not a big budget show and a bit of a throwback but it's enjoyable.  His partner Jerry Edgar, daughter Maddie and detective Jimmy Robertson stand out to me as favorites.  Pop and I recommend it.

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan (2018-2023)

Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan:  Pop and I recently watched Jack Ryan which has four seasons.  The series stars John Krasinski as Jack Ryan and Wendell Pierce as James Greer.  Each season is a standalone as Ryan takes on another international threat.  While Ryan is our hero and the center point of the show, James Greer appears in all episodes as well.  The casting was good and Michael Kelly as Mike November really stood out to me.  We really enjoyed Jack Ryan.  It was a popular show and I get why now.  The Jack Ryan TV series was created by Amazon.

1990-1991 SkyBox Basketball Series II Pack

90-91 SkyBox Basketball Series II:  I was getting bored with what's left at the local store so I went on Amazon and purchased unopened packs of basketball and football cards.  Each was just under $10 and guaranteed at least 100 cards.  With the photos you knew you were getting junk wax which I am good with.  This Series II pack of SkyBox was a pleasant surprise.  With the documentary on the last season of the Bulls dynasty filling the sports void right now, which I'm thoroughly enjoying, it was with great fun that I pulled the GOAT.  

I've always liked the design on these for some reason.  It's got 80's written all over it but I'm all in.  I've busted a series II wax box before and I'm itching to do a series I break.  The birthday is coming up so who knows.  These guys were both workhorses under the basket in their time.  It was a shame neither got a ring as they were traded prior to their respective clubs getting a championship.

You get a mix of cards from both series in these packs but these NBA Draft, team checklists and coach cards are unique to Series II.  I really really like those team logo cards. I don't know what the heck I'd do with all of them but I'd figure it out.  Probably end up in a binder.  

 I'm very happy with this pack.  Like any packs from any year they can be hit or miss.  This one is definitely a hit.  It'll be fun showing off the other packs over the next month or so.  Sir Charles makes an appearance as well below to round out this pack.
