Football people
keep things.
Ticket stubs. Programs from games we can barely remember. A depth chart in a folder we have moved to three different houses. Kept is the letter that belongs in the same drawer.
Every Sunday morning at 8:00 AM Eastern. Four things — plus a new Notebook or Conversation from The Gridiron Aficionado Show.
One letter a week. Unsubscribe anytime. No selling, no sharing, no noise.
Four
things,
every
Sunday.
Eight
minutes of
reading.
A note from the desk.
One argument, one memory, or one football idea worked through in the founder’s voice.
From The Show.
What just published — a new Notebook or Conversation — with the one line worth carrying into the week.
From the workbench.
Notes from the making of Issue 001 — the choices, materials, and editorial work behind a collector-grade football magazine.
The keep.
One artifact worth keeping — a program cover, a chalk sheet, a photograph, a page from the archive — with a paragraph on why it lasts.
Notebook and
Conversations.
Each week, one of these appears in Kept and on The Gridiron Aficionado Show.
Notebook
Short, direct. One football idea, worked through end to end.
Conversations
Extended dialogue with coaches, publishers, and football people who see the game from the inside.
A lifetime in the game,
written on Sundays.
I have coached at the professional, collegiate, and high-school levels. I previously published American Football Quarterly to more than 50,000 readers who wanted football writing that respected their intelligence. Kept is where that work continues each week — plainly written, honestly reported, and built to be read on the one morning football people already set aside.
