Harlan Hott has a message for Hiawatha. I love a fresh start. Hiawatha gets one every autumn, and somehow the mail still arrives in the basement.
Four wins. Fifty-six losses. That's the record across twenty twenty-four, twenty twenty-five, and twenty twenty-six. Sixty games of evidence, and you want me to throw out the file because the draft room opens again?
Here's my challenge. Pick players you mean to use. Keep up with the roster. Make the rest of this room earn the joke for a change. I would happily retire this column if you stopped renewing its material.
Rebuilding is allowed. A permanent construction permit is getting embarrassing.
