The J-Man’s View of District 2: “Almost there”…..and “It’s a trap!”
October 16, 2025 | Jared Samuel
There’s the scene in Star Wars Episode IV where the X-Wings are making their first run to try to destroy the Death Star. The Red Leader keeps saying “almost there” as all of the escorts around him are getting picked off by Darth Vader. How is it that I immediately thought of this when I […]

I don’t know how we are doing it, but we’ve picked 4 straight great Friday games that we’ve covered. And it’s early! I feel like I’m playing the Eliminator, where you pick one team to win per week but then you can’t pick them again in the same season….it’s hard! Thankfully, I can usually pick […]
