I suppose their writers were too busy writing multiple puff pieces about *checks site* The Mandalorian and Grogu.07 Sep 2026 11:16 +0000at://did:plc:fegomgmrfl5uwv2vb3faq326/app.bsky.feed.post/3muwezsjyb22chttps://bsky.app/profile/nathanaelsmith.bsky.social/post/3muuna4gjpc2tUnfortunately almost none of my 109 followers on here care about the NFL so I can't gripe about my fantasy draft this evening.
