Week 9 Newsletter: Scarily Delicious
So as it turns out, it is possible to go to Morocco for several days and return home without becoming violently ill. I’m back in the USA, baby! I’m still dealing with a pretty killer case of jet lag, but I’m officially on home soil once again. Even though I walked all over the Iberian peninsula, I…

Week 6 Newsletter: No Notes
Today is a memorable day for several reasons. It’s potentially the day I do the last 5 p.m. show for the foreseeable future before I start my new Senior Producer schedule. It’s a day where I get to watch football and playoff baseball. My voice is finally starting to come back after this past weekend.…

Week 4 Newsletter: Live from New York
While 90% of NFL fans have their eyes set on Sunday, this Saturday is pretty important, too. It’s not just because Georgia is playing Alabama in a Top 5 showdown. It’s also because Saturday marks the premiere of the 50th season of Saturday Night Live. Through all of the ups and downs, golden eras and dark…

Week 1 Newsletter: Evermore
Lady and gentlemen, football is back! Before I go through the latest fantasy football and NFL news, notes, and opinions, I would like to highlight one new aspect of these newsletters. For the first time ever, they’re available online! Remember that website I made to give my World Cup of Hate project a place to call home?…

2024 Draft Newsletter
As I creep up in years, I’m discovering that the term “with age comes wisdom” is not exactly true (though that may be just me being a dumbass). However, it does allow for a better perspective on things. One such thing I’ve been thinking about is football, specifically how football sucks. Now when I say…

Week 18 Newsletter: Hail to the Queen
Another year has come and another fantasy football season has gone. A lot has changed since the start of 2023. The league as a whole has one more child (with two more on the way) and one more married man. Although it’s technically not a living thing, one of our league members also gave birth…

Week 17 Newsletter: Pillow Talk
I mean… it would’ve been weird for me to not do a newsletter this week, right? After I was so bored I had to do one last week, it would’ve been weird if I skipped this week and just did the season finale next week, right? Honestly I might start doing a newsletter for every…

Week 16 Newsletter: For the Soul
Well… this is unexpected. No, I’m not talking about the fact that we saw nearly every higher seed eliminated in the quarter-finals, though that was pretty crazy. I’m actually referring to this newsletter as a whole, the fact that it exists. This is the first set of newsletters I’ve done in back-to-back weeks in nearly two years, after I decided to go…

Week 15 Newsletter: Ready to Rumble
RIP Andre Braugher, one of the most underrated actors of our time. Braugher, who suddenly passed away days ago at 61, made his bones as a Shakespearean actor while scoring notable roles in movies like Glory and shows like Homicide: Life on the Street. But it took until his role as Captain Raymond Holt in Brooklyn Nine-Nine that he achieved…

Week 11 Newsletter: The Power of Sports Compels You
On October 28, 2018, I sat in the upper deck of Dodger Stadium, nervously anticipating the game I had come to see. I was more anxious than I had ever been for a sporting event, and for good reason. My beloved Boston Red Sox had a chance to win the World Series and thus give me the ultimate sports fan experience —…
