Is your lineup Premium Approved?

We’ll teach you how to fish.

Saturday, August 25th

Hello, weekend crew! How are we doing on this fine Saturday? I’m pretty excited that college football is back on DraftKings, and I have a decent lineup with a semi-sweat in the DraftKings Fantasy Golf World Championship going, so it should be a fun weekend for me — at least it will provide enough distraction to help me get over this late summer cold that I have developed.

As a side note, for those of you with kids, how annoying are the first few weeks of school? EVERY kid gets sick. EVERY kid passes that around. EVERY kid brings that home. EVERY kid shares that with mom and dad, so I have my boys to thank for my illness. Mind you, my children are generally relatively healthy, as neither missed a day of school after December last year, but those first few weeks are always rough.
