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.

Drake Maye was somewhat of a polarizing prospect, as many were enamored by the prototypical size of 6-foot-4, 230 pounds and rushing ability, but other scouts questioned the decision-making. Regardless, it only takes one team and the New England Patriots chose him to be their quarterback of the future by selecting him with the third […]

Imagine galloping on your horse when you come across a little town in the middle of nowhere. The local tavern seems to be open, as the front door is creaking back and forth ever so slightly, but not another human can be seen with the naked eye, not even a shadow. A tumbleweed bounces softly […]

Call me lazy, but I do not enjoy high-maintenance things. Except, of course, if I didn’t actually have to maintain them. For example, I’d love to have a stealth fighter in the garage, but I do not want to check that the radar-absorbant material is acceptable while making sure every nut and bolt is properly […]
