NFL

Let the fantasy begin

No sooner had the end of the NFL lockout been announced than I received my Yahoo! invite to this year’s fantasy football league. Arian Foster is mine, guys! — Ken Miller, associate editor

Call of the wild

My first trip to Zion National Park was exhilarating, peaceful and soaked-to-the-bone fun. If you haven’t been, fill up the tank, drive three hours and get ready for an adventure. — Sarah Feldberg, editor

Pineapple express

Those McDonald’s fruit smoothies look really good in the latest commercial. But I’m not buying it unless the pineapple is butchered right there on the countertop next to the Happy Meal boxes. Truth in advertising, people. — Erin Ryan, staff writer

Yard fail

Why do people leave their yard sale signs up long after the event’s over? Next one I see, I’ll show up at 7 a.m. on a Tuesday and demand to peruse the contents of their garage. —Allison Duck, web calendar editor

Young again

Attention all 20-somethings: Our childhood is back! TeenNick is now airing SNICK favorites like Clarissa Explains It All, Doug and All That nightly as part of a new programming block called—what else?—“The ’90s Are All That.” — Mark Adams, listings coordinator
