Welcome to the first ICYMI on the Main Damie!
Every week, the goal of this article is to showcase some of the best writing that you may have missed. We will try to cover features on sports, movies, television and video games published across the internet. We hope to expose some articles that may not have gotten as much publicity as I thought they should, especially if they come from a small publication, or are important enough that they need to be highlighted.
This week will be kind of different because we will be reaching back more than a week for a sports story that was too intriguing to ignore. But for the most part, the articles in this ongoing series will be within the last seven days.
Without further ado:
