Because HB believes work such as this is worth a mere pittance per day. Whilst you could stick with Caro\u2019s Arrow or Kane\u2019s Vol-Kane-O, you\u2019ll get your 500 words in the newspaper and be happy\u2026 when they\u2019re not on holiday. The Mongrel NEVER stops. Trades, Free Agency, Draft, Pre-Season, Practice Games\u2026 we\u2019re all in. You could dump the mainstream and dive articles like this. If you don\u2019t want to, that\u2019s fine.
