Sure, Hill does line up at quarterback occasionally for New Orleans, normally in the shotgun and normally to execute run-pass options. But he also lines up at tight end, in the slot, out wide, on kickoffs and kickoff returns, and as a personal protector in punt formations. There isn’t more of a “does-it-all” player in professional football than Hill. In 2019, though, fantasy football owners only cared about Hill when he took production away from Drew Brees or Jared Cook or Alvin Kamara, and that’s a shame....

Some experts are nonetheless cautiously optimistic. According to Bank One Chicago economist Diane Swonk, 19 percent of U.S. manufacturers report that inventories have grown “too tight”–setting the stage for new purchases. The Bush administration beefed up its stimulus package even more last week, and the Federal Reserve cut rates by half a point.

Brady has long said that his goal was to play until he was 45, and reported marital issues — which ultimately turned into a divorce — made the idea of him returning for a 24th season very unlikely. Plus, if he was set on retiring a year ago, what were the odds he would play multiple more seasons? As the season has played out and new reporting has trickled in, however, we’ve learned more about Brady’s future plans....
