Show Notes
*** PLEASE NOTE THERE'S A BIT OF BAD LANGUAGE AND ADULT SUBJECT MATTER IN THIS CHAPTER *** This is Chapter 21 from the audiobook version of my new novel, Pound Foolish. Here's a description of the book: Part locker room chronicle, part neo-noir, all American: Pound Foolish tackles a season-in-the-life of a pro football team that has a serial killer in its midst. Someone is murdering women in the orbit of Detroit's NFL franchise. But also: a new season is kicking off and nobody can really prove anything. Plus football is one of the last remaining ties that bind a city. So...the games will go on. And they should. Right? Enter our gumshoe. Mouse Morrison is a former player the team brings in to investigate. The further Morrison digs into the locker room-and the more lunkhead players we meet on their journeys of supremacy and self-destruction-the stronger a stench of conspiracy becomes. Is this a coverup? How deep within the franchise and the league does it go? The team keeps winning games. The bodies keep piling up. The whole mess bleeds from the sports section to the front page, nobody's sure what to believe...and absolutely everybody has an opinion. Pound Foolish is a rollicking, cinematic murder mystery set in a multi-billion-dollar circus teeming with killers. It pulls back the curtain on a sport that grips America's psyche, and also owns a bloody chunk of its soul.

More from Harris Fantasy Football Podcast
When we do fantasy football drafts, we should try and make perceived offensive situations matter as little as we can, because we're *bad* knowing which teams will be good beforehand. But six games in? We have a much better idea, and situations matter *so* much. So our main topic today will be assessing which offenses are wagons, which are surprises or disappointments, and more. Plus we'll review the Bears' exciting win over the Patriots and discuss the injury names we need to know for Week 7! Guest: Cousin Josh.
It's a tough week for fantasy football lineups. Heck, *every* week is a tough week for fantasy football lineups! Today we'll focus in on some players *you* might be considering starting or sitting for Week 7, including the looming Josh Jacobs question. We'll also preview the attractive Thursday night Patriots/Bears contest, pick teams for DraftKings DFS, catch up on the listener snarkbag, and play not one but *two* incredible new mixtapes. It's a fun one! Guests: Jeff Bell of FootballGuys.com and DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge.
What the heck was going on in the NFL's Week 6 with comebacks? On today's podcast, we'll review the rest of the Week 6 action with an eye toward your fantasy football team, and in each one, a team's huge lead got erased by a frantic comeback -- and in a few cases, the comeback led to a win! A crazy week with a lot of injuries and more film to help us make good fantasy decisions...and for Week 7, that begins with a waiver wire with many interesting speculative adds! Guest: Scott Fish of FantasyCares.org.
What is up with the Cowboys offense? What in the world happened to the Rams? Are the Texans and Jaguars suddenly always going to score a billion points? There's no way to tell any of this by looking at box scores: you have to watch the games! And that's what we do every week...we've got eight of the Week 6 Sunday contests for you in film-review form, and we'll tell you what we think we saw! Plus we'll preview Monday night's Commanders/Niners tilt. Guest: Patrick Daugherty of Rotoworld.
Like jazz, sometimes fantasy football is all about the trades you *don't* make. Our main topic for today's show is players who've started the 2026 season hotter than expected, but we don't particularly want to sell high on them, and players who've started colder than expected, but we don't really want to buy low. Of course, there are always exceptions, and so we *will* actually suggest some possible deals, but also warn you away from some potential landmines. Plus we'll review the sleepy Thursday night Broncos win over the Seahawks, and review the injury names you need to know for Week 6. Guest: Cousin Josh.
