Well, you survived. You're reading this because you've survived Rise to Greatness season. Now, this is where I torture myself....

In all seriousness, I hope you enjoyed the last two months. I tried to provide some good stories for everyone and I know many of you tried to do the same.

Now, you all get some time away (myself included). The next show is tentatively scheduled for August 19. In that time, I will be slowly working on the pre-show, the Hall of Fame and Rise to Greatness itself, spacing it out so that people can take some time away without worrying about results, what's next, etc. Take time away from the game and relax.

I'll be posting updates over the next few weeks. I hope everyone is well and recharges and we'll be back to the schedule soon.
