The Draft-Day Manifesto: Why a weekly focus is key to fantasy football success

It was 20 years ago today that the Manifesto began to play.

That's right. Two decades ago was the very first Draft-Day Manifesto, and what a long, strange trip it's been, he said, clearly feeling musical.

When I wrote my very first Manifesto, I wrote it for free, for a small fantasy website that didn't have a lot of traffic and had no clue that in the next 20 years I would turn a goofy hobby into a career that would lead to me quitting my job at 35, moving cross-country, meeting my wife at ESPN, starting a family and finding myself on TV, sometimes for 29 straight hours.
