It’s time for another new feature. One that might, or might not, continue.
It’s a recap of the Sunday games, with our quick analysis of the contest, in PFT style. It’s a supplement to the many other blurbs that we’ll be posting; on Sunday alone, for example, we published 97 articles.
Here’s another one for a football Monday, with the biggest takeaway or whatever caught my eye in each game.
