It’s been a long off-season. We’ve done projects and rankings and team posts and strategy sessions and you’ve stuck around for the whole thing. As a team, we are ever grateful of your patronage. The regular season starts Sunday night, and since a larger percentage of drafts are over, it’s time to have a little fun.
