The Most Irrelevant Touchdowns of 2023
Every touchdown is important. Points for the team. Excitement for the fans. Dollars in his bank account. There’s no such thing as a meaningless touchdown in the NFL. They’re all important. But that doesn’t mean they are all equally important.   I might argue that the most important touchdown of the NFL regular season was […]

PGA DFS Ownership Report: 2024 Farmers Insurance Open
In PGA DFS, the landscape is a bit different from its NFL counterpart. Unlike the gridiron battles where individual player performances can significantly impact each other, golf is a solitary pursuit.
