Enjoy a Thanksgiving Daily Fantasy spread with all the trimmings [Updated]
It’s late on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving as I write this (but you probably won’t read this until Thursday morning, like a normal person). Maybe your turkey is brining, maybe it’s resting in your fridge, maybe it’s on the smoker, maybe you aren’t doing a turkey at all. Whatever Thanksgiving l...

COVID-19 wins another day — will probably soon start yelling, 'SCOREBOARD!'
It’s an easy headline to grab, because it’s been the case every day for eight months. And the havoc the virus is wreaking in sports pales in comparison to that which it is doing in everyday life.

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are just two old dogs at this point
They tell me the Buccaneers have seven wins. The ESPN scorebox during Monday’s night game against the Rams said so. The standings pages say so. The NFL definitely wants you to believe it.

Jim Nantz wants CBS to pay him like someone with a personality
In some ways you can’t begrudge Jim Nantz for asking for the bag.

And B) If...
