NFL Week 7
Anyone else completely over fantasy football?I might be done. I’ve been playing for well over a decade now and just a few years ago I was in as many as five leagues at a time. Since then, my involvement has shrunk faster than recent NFL ratings.I’ve now cut it down to...
NFL Week 6
If every NFL team gets a bye week, shouldn’t the rest of us be afforded the same privilege?That would be my platform if I ran for president. A bye week for every working American. Time off that doesn’t count toward your vacation days. Wouldn’t that be lovely?I had my...
Previewing Week 6: Baltimore Ravens at New York Giants
