It’s that time of year again; time to devote your late morning weekends to setting and locking your fantasy football rosters in order to win the weekend’s matchups. I write this post each year at the beginning of the season and it’s fun to go back to see previous posts and see how things have [...]
Being that I work in the digital media industry, there is rarely a day that goes by without some conversation around free vs. paid.
