What I'm watching now

Besides the NBA playoffs, this month has held a dearth of interesting sporting events for me (as I'm not a baseball fan). Notwithstanding my casual viewing of last Saturday and Sunday's NFL draft, what I'm watching right now might be one of the least sporting sporting events I have ever watched.

On ESPN2, I am watching the live draw for Kentucky Derby post positions. Conventional wisdom says to pick slots 8, 9, and 10 (the first picks in eight of the last nine years), though no Derby winner has come from those spots in those years. Storm in May threw everyone off by picking the fourth slot with the first pick.
