Sorry folks; I am running very low on time and need to get in an 11-mile run before these games get going. Unfortunately, you get what you get today, which is a really limited watchlist with rankings only. Apologies! To make it up to you, I’ll do a Twitter AMA later during the 2-4 PM slate where you guys can ask whatever you’d like about the season thus far. I’m still figuring out how to do threads on here but will be popping in
’s thread if he does one today. Also! I recommend signing up for Trilly Donovan’s Discord, where I’ve been spending some free time lately. I post a good bit of my Saturday thoughts there.SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 17
