From a Historical Perspective: How Worried Should We Be About Marvin Harrison’s Debut?
Blair Andrews
September 9, 2024
Marvin Harrison Jr. was the first wide receiver selected in the 2024 draft, going to the Arizona Cardinals with the fourth pick.

Given the draft capital spent on him, it would be reasonable to expect him…...

Blair Andrews
September 3, 2024
All my kids are into Lego. As such, we sometimes watch a show called Lego Masters. The premise is something like MasterChef, but instead of food, the medium is Lego bricks.

Blair Andrews
August 15, 2024
While the FFPC Main Event gets most of the attention during redraft season — and rightly so, as the biggest high-stakes fantasy contest around — we shouldn’t forget about FFPC’s sister tournament that features just as big a grand prize and an even bigger prize pool.
