Good evening! And here’s hoping you’ve all transitioned to Christmas music. It’s time.

Back from our reporting trip to Tampa, I hit record on a Substack Live to preview Week 10 in the NFL quick. Good news for the Minnesota Vikings. It sounds like Aaron Jones (shoulder/toe) is a go. He is the subject of our Friday Feature this week.

The beloved veteran opens up about his deceased father and the promise he made to him their final hours together. Hope you enjoy.

Whoa nellie, did we get A LOT of exceptional Mailbag questions from you all. Rather than rush it, I’ll post midway through next week. Exceptional submissions by all. Feel free to keep ‘em coming at [email protected].

ICYMI, the first episode of “Real Football” with co-host Jim Monos is live. Our hope is for this show to serve as your weekly two-hour peek behind the curtain on how this NFL works. Monos brings the goods. Subscribers can access in full.

And thanks to everyone who hung out on the live broadcast. Love seeing new names.
