Marion Gunderson Art (and the Farmer's Daughter)

Except that I know people draft certain players based upon the drafters’ predictions, I basically know nothing about fantasy football.

About the closest I’ve come to involvement with football was being a baton twirler* at Rolfe High School football game halftimes. I dropped my baton a lot, but Mother — Marion Gunderson — was always just past the sidelines with a beaming smile, encouraging me to exhibit the same.

Josh Moore

BUT….. (drumroll) today’s New York Times announced that, based on the first three weeks of the season, my nephew, Josh Moore, (Peggy’s older son) is the “Most Accurate Fantasy Expert.” This is based on tracking the accuracy results of 39 fantasy experts, which equates to about 200,000 predictions. (See article link, below.)
