Circa 1997-2000, there were several outfits putting out fantasy football magazines as early as late May. At first, picking up one of the early-bird mags was a fun way to get into fantasy prep ... a visual reminder that draft season was just around the corner. Turned out, though, that the...

Could be a shrewd move. FBG's biggest single competitor (at least in my outside-of-the-industry opinion) always made a point of publishing later than their competitors, waiting until the first week of July every year. FBGs going a full month later should make the information contained therein at...

I look back fondly on days past when I'd stock up on half-a-dozen summer FF magazines. This debut FBG is kind of a look back and a look forward at the same time. From what I can judge the FF print magazine space has sharply contracted since, say, 25-30 years ago. But (at least IMHO) the quality...

Not sure why ... but eggs (default store-brand white large, no organic or fancy brands) aren't really coming down much in the N.O. area. I mean - yes - they are cheaper than they were at peak a few months ago. But they're still over double what they cost in August of last year.

You can streaming series as well? Stranger Things, The Boys, Ted Lasso, whatever?

Right. It's not a matter of arm talent. It's playing two-way ball, for starters. Even when on offense, a flag QB is set upon by a defender just about from jump -- there's no 3 or 4 seconds in the pocket. And, yeah, there are plenty of NFL QBs who are good throwing on the run, off base, and all...

I'm going to crib from myself posting over on Saintsreport:

A few guys have commented on it so far, more or less off the cuff. Justin Jefferson said he'd like to win a gold medal, but stopped short of committing. AJ Brown said he'd decline to participate.

@Faust posted this in the Patrick Mahomes thread last summer, but it's a good time to revisit: https://www.on3.com/pro/news/patrick-mahomes-responds-to-flag-football-qb-darrell-doucette-claiming-hes-better/

Carr is forgoing his $30 million in 2025 game-check salary. That comes off the Saints’ books. What am I missing?

And , today, Carr has retired. He’s returned $30 million to the Saints, basically fixing anyone’s near-term cap concerns at one swoop.

“C’mon man - just thrown on some Brut and get over here!”

Burke was also an unsung session player -- on The Eurythmics "Would I Lie To You" and as an honorary Blackheart on Joan Jett's "I Love Rock & Roll". If you're ever around a bunch of Top 40 trivia nerds, you can win a bar bet by asking them how many Hot 100 #1s Burke played on. They'll rattle...

Desk jockeying gets old fast, too.
