Your week, Keyon.
One text, one voice memo, one YES. That is the whole job. Here is what it looks like on your phone.
What you do
About 5 minutes a week.
What we do
Everything else.
Monday: we text you
The morning after the game you get one text from us with a private link. No app to open, no password to remember. If Monday is a bad day, the link keeps working until Wednesday night.
Hey Keyon, it's Forward Dawn. Time for this week's Take. Tap to record or upload a voice memo, 2 to 3 minutes is plenty: your private link The link works until Wednesday night.
You talk for two minutes
Tap the link and say what you thought of the game, the way you'd say it to a friend in the lot. Don't write anything and don't tidy it up. If you would rather type, there is a box for that too.
Record or choose a voice memo.
One file. Audio only.
Rather type it? Write your take here instead.
We send you the draft
We turn the memo into a column that sounds like you and text you a link to read it, laid out the way it will look on the site. Want something changed? Reply with what to change and you get a new version.
Your Take is drafted from your memo. Read it here: your private link Reply YES to publish it as written, or tell us what to change. Nothing goes live without your YES.
Five points. That's the whole gap.
Minnesota won 15-10. It's the fourth loss in a row, and the first one that left me hopeful.
You reply YES
That one word is the only way anything gets published. Nothing goes out under your name without it. Once you send it, the take goes to three places and you are done until next Monday.

What "everything else" means
- Turning your memo into a draft that sounds like you
- Building the page and publishing it the moment you say YES
- Sending the weekly email on Thursday evening
- Keeping the schedule, the scores and the record up to date
- Checking watch party spots before they go on the list
- Watching the site, so a broken page is our problem and not yours
