Stan joined DraftKings in December of 2020. It was a glorious time, except for that whole COVID thing, when we got Madden streams and boisterous bat flips from the KBO. I was brought on board to bring some West Coast flavor. I especially love hoops, and most of my content is in that arena. When I walk along the beach, strumming my guitar, the beat that I hear is not one of crashing waves.

Week 9. Time to turn up the Ginuwine and whisper “You Owe Me” to the divine. Or should it be Ace of Base, “I Saw the Sign”? Whatever it may be, let’s just make sure not to roster players who will be riding the pine. That DFS crime would require one helluva lifeline. Regardless, you […]
