Working the Wire, Week 20: The Forgotten Week
The end is nigh. Happy Mother’s day to all the mothers, happy hopefully fantasy titles to all of our friends here at the Hoob. Hopefully most leagues have wrapped up by now, but maybe you’re in the dying stretches of a two-week finals. Either way, it’s been a crazy year and I’m glad to have […]
