There was a time, a time before "the cloud." When the local fantasy website reigned supreme. When people believed everything they heard on podcasts. This was an age when only men were allowed to read fantasy news. And in Minneapolis, two podcasters were more man than the rest. Their names were Anthony Maggio and Bo Mitchell. They were like a gods walking amongst mere mortals. Their voices could make a wolverine purr and wore suits so fine they made Sinatra look like a hobo. In other words, "magsh" and Bo were the balls. That doesn't make sense? OK, try this. Back in 2006, Anthony Maggio and Bo Mitchell constituted 66.67% of Fanball's Fantasy Football Party podcast. It was kind of a big deal. But when Fanball was purchased, purchased again, then stripped for parts (minus one TV, which unceremoniously shattered on the floor), the podcast went with it. But now, through the power of technology, magic, and a spritz of Sex Panther cologne, Bo and magsh are back to bring you the best fantasy football infotainment this side of San Diego. And if you don't like Anchorman references, you might want to do something else now.
