By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter My mother was wrong. For years, she told me that professional wrestling was a waste of time – a brain cell-melter.

Unlike bingo, Fanduel requires skill

By Josh Moon Alabama Political Reporter You can’t win at Fanduel. That’s not a generic “you.” I mean, you – the person reading this. The person who has never played a daily fantasy sports game. If you and I competed against each other in a game, I would beat you 100 times out of 100. … Continued
