My big item this week was my annual ranking of the top board games of the year<\/a> for Paste, which runs 15 titles deep (plus a bonus for the best reissue). My music rankings will go up here next week, and I’ll have a PAX Unplugged recap at Paste next week too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing new at the Athletic from me, as I work on prospect rankings and there are no transactions to cover. I’ll do a chat next week, though, even if it’s mostly non-baseball stuff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On The Keith Law Show, I spoke with Nik Sharma<\/a>, author of the great cookbooks Season<\/em> and The Flavor Equation<\/em>, about those books, underused ingredients, and his unusual career arc. You can subscribe and listen on iTunes<\/a> and Spotify<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will also send out another edition of my free email newsletter<\/a> this week, although I have a feeling with baking plans and the kids home I am already setting myself up for failure. And one last time, here’s another reminder that I have two books out, The Inside Game<\/em><\/a> and Smart Baseball<\/em><\/a>, that would make great gifts for the readers (especially baseball fans) on your lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
