2021 Draft Newsletter: How will the Raiders screw up this time?
While we still are in a pandemic, I’m not doing another series of offseason newsletters. That shit was way too much work and I’ve somehow gotten even busier than before at FOX40. I’m doing the 10 p.m. show (M-F) now and this shit is hard, especially because we’re incredibly short-staffed (I have no writers for the majority…
