Week 19 Newsletter: Into the Unknown
It’s a testament to the best laid plans of mice and men that the one year I decided to not publish a newsletter every week, the newsletter technically goes longer than it ever has. Super Bowl-specific newsletters aside, this is the latest in a season and latest in January that I’ve published one of these.…

Week 15 Newsletter: Moroccan Roll
Did you guys know Lindsey Scott started playing college football in 2016? Yep, he redshirted his first year at LSU, then left after Les Miles was fired. He transferred to East Mississippi Community College, where he first lit the world on fire, leading the Lions to the 2017 NJCAA National Championship. He then transferred to Missouri, where…

Week 11 Newsletter: Just for Kicks
This football season has been fantastic so far. There have been some incredible games that will go down as instant classics (like Vikings-Bills), young and exciting players like Justin Fields, Tua Tagovailoa, and Jalen Hurts are making the leap, and there’s plenty of change across most of the non-AFC West divisions. There’s also plenty more to come…

Week 8 Newsletter: Curses, Foiled Again!
When I was trying to find a good theme for the last newsletter, I ended up with two good choices. One of them (the one I went with) was coaches, given that the publishing date fell on National Coaches Day. But the other idea was so good that I ended up saving it for this…

Week 5 Newsletter: Put me in, coach!
Happy October, everyone! It was definitely weird to have the past few weeks pass without a newsletter being published. It’s like how I feel whenever the 10 p.m. news is on and I’m not in the booth. But hopefully absence makes the heart grow fonder. It certainly made the last few weeks easier to not have…

Week 1 Newsletter: Florida Men
The leaves are turning red, pumpkin spice is in the air, school is back in session, and it’s no longer fashionable to wear white. Despite the area just getting through several days of triple digit hell, Fall is indeed upon us, bringing with it the greatest season of them all: football. With all the craziness…

Week 18 Newsletter: An Epic Ending
So this is it, huh? Before the 2017 NFL season, some league members showed me a newsletter from one of their other leagues and asked — if not dared — me to make one for our league. Not being a bitch and with my competitive writing fires ignited, I took on the challenge. Five years…

Week 17 Newsletter: All-Madden
It was already a shitty Tuesday. Two days earlier, I started coughing and sneezing and expelling enough mucus to fill a small pool. I tried to tough it out at work on Monday but I knew I had to call out on Tuesday. I also knew I likely didn’t have COVID-19, but I wanted to…

Week 16 Newsletter: No Way Home
I saw Spider-Man: No Way Home over the weekend. Because I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone (I’m giving you all until the next newsletter), I can’t really go into detail in a review. However, the image below is pretty reflective of how I feel. Also, the film is good because it gives me a free…

Week 15 Newsletter: An Expected Journey
It seems like a long time ago that we began this fantasy football season. Maybe that’s because of the extra week to the regular season. Maybe it’s due to the pandemic. Maybe it’s the fact that we’re getting caught up in our real lives and the days just keep piling up without end. Maybe it’s because we’re…
