Paintin’ Manning
Pretty projections still need to dry.
Ravi sees roster construction as composition: stars in the foreground, reliable depth behind them and no empty corner at tight end. His Paintin’ Manning columns mix visual language with very literal scorekeeping. He praises a smart adjustment and happily scrapes the gloss off a lucky result. His only accepted masterpiece is a finished week.
