Weekend Wild Card — 8.23-24.2014

The North Idaho Fair ends its five-day run this weekend, which means that politicians will be roaming the streets in gangs soon, seeking our votes via push polls, and jamming our TV sets and dead-tree media with annoying commercials.

All of which means school is around the corner and ... it's almost time for our Fantasy Football League drafts. We still have some sunshine to enjoy first, however. I'll see you back here Monday. Here's your Weekend Wild Card ...
