Trench Warfare Week 4: Broken Wrists, Muddy Cleats, and the Art of Imposing Will

Wipe the diesel grease off your knuckles and spit that plug of tobacco into the grass, fellas. It is Thursday morning in Week 4, and if your bones aren't aching from three straight weekends of mouth-smacking collision sports, you're sitting on the wrong side of the chain-link fence. The autumn frost is creeping onto the field, and the smell of torn...

Blood, Dirt, and Trench Warfare: Week 3 Grit Look-Ahead

Pour yourself a double shot of black coffee, kick off the mud-caked boots, and take a deep breath of that crisp late-September air. We have survived two brutal weeks of collision sports in the Columbia River Fantasy Football League, and the pretenders are already looking for the doors to the training room.
