We are well and truly into fantasy football mock draft season now. Last week, I used the FantasyPros Draft Wizard to draft a team from the 11th pick in a 12-team PPR league. I’m running it back late in the draft this week, at the 12th pick, but with a Half-PPR league instead.

On Tuesday, licensed Ohio dispensaries began legally selling non-medical marijuana to consumers; however, the drug’s possession, growth and/or usage are still prohibited on Ohio State’s campus.

With NFL preseason games in full swing, I’ll be using our FTN Fantasy Splits Tool to look at some of the key situations to monitor throughout the offseason. The Splits Tool is a great way to dissect how certain environments and situations impact different players or teams based on spreads, locations, coaches, current or former teammates, etc. It’s a must-have for serious fantasy football managers and sports betters, especially when it comes to making difficult start/sit decisions or trying to gain an edge against the books.

Hindsight, as they say, is 20/20. It doesn't take much searching to find evidence of writers and analysts overlooking the Los Angeles Rams' offense heading into the 2023 season. Very few predicted that a unit featuring an aging Matthew Stafford, shoddy offensive line and banged-up Cooper Kupp would be average, let alone a top-10 attack. But then Puka Nacua and Kyren Williams shocked the world, helping the Rams finish as the seventh-best offense in total yards.

In addition to collecting more than 8,000 used needles in the past year from Denver drug users, the Harm Reduction Action Center passed out 10,000 meth pipes and “snort kits,” according to a newsletter sent to its supporters Thursday. They also connected about 1,700 people to medical, mental health and substance abuse treatment.

A good pizza sauce makes ALL the difference in the flavor and end result of your dish. Personally, I've not found any commercially processed pizza sauces that don't taste.... fake, so I made my own. I'm not a huge fan of tomatoes in a can as they tend to taste a bit metallic, but you use what you've got and it's 1000 times better than storebought. Fresh tomatoes are in season right now though, so if you can get them fresh, more power to ya!

With there only being three maybe four elite tight ends for fantasy, where do you go if you miss out on drafting one of the top-tier guys? There are a few options available in the middle rounds of your draft that could have a top-10 finish each week at the tight end position. These three guys are going to be steals when the season wraps up. The last guy may come as a surprise.

It's been 33 years since the handsome actor and Emmy award-winning TV game show host Bert Convy died of a brain tumor at 57 in 1991. This is his story.

More dangerous substances are entering the Denver drug supply, Harm Reduction Action Center warned in a newsletter this week. “The Iron Law of Prohibition posits that as law enforcement becomes more intense, the potency of prohibited substances increases,” HRAC Executive Director Lisa Raville wrote in the newsletter. That is exactly what is happening, she said.

Dangerous substances entering Denver drug supply

First place is the goal in fantasy football. Build the best roster, beat your friends, take down whatever prize. That’s why we play. But for many (and an increasing number of) leagues, at least as important as claiming first is avoiding last. If your league has a last-place punishment, well, you need to do whatever you can to avoid it, because last-place punishments are traditionally embarrassing, horrifying, expensive or just plain weird.

Denver doesn’t look very “vibrant,” to use the mayor’s term, when bus stops are transformed into open-air drug dens. In fact, the people who smoke meth and fentanyl in homeless encampments, in front of businesses and walking down the street are tarnishing the reputation of Denver’s unhoused neighbors.

Opinion: Open-air drug use in Denver not so ‘vibrant’

Denny's was once a staple of the American diner landscape. In recent years, it has had its ups and downs, especially post-pandemic. The dining habits of people also change. Some customers have a more discerning taste.
