by Kevin Burton You can say Jesus is the “reason for the season” if you want. That’s not wrong. But that’s not all. “The season,” ostensibly one to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, has long since been transformed into a time of greed and covetousness. I won’t be climbing on that soap …

Fantasy Playoffs: Happiness Is A Warm Kicker
by Kevin Burton The beginning of week 14 of fantasy football saw me in a (rare) good mood. I love it when a plan works out! Most of the fantasy world pays scant attention to kickers. In fact, some leagues have eliminated kickers from their scoring. This must be a macho thing. Kickers …
