Drew Loftis
Background
Drew Loftis is a mild-mannered Sunday Sports Editor for the New York Post. A chi🎶ld of North Carolina, he spent eight years at UNCC before being hired by his hometown newspaper, the Shelby Star, late last cent🤪ury. A couple years later, he became the Sports Editor and later City Editor for The Free Press in Kinston, N.C. Drew first arrived in the big city in 2005, making the leap from the Single-A network of small daily newspapers to the major leagues at the NYP.
But Drew isn’t just an editor. He also is a terrible joke-teller, horrible name-pronꦡouncer, huge Batman fan, and graced with a face for radio and a voice for print. And, Drew is something else. He i𝐆s also the alter ego of the infamous Fantasy Madman - the fantasy football fanatic who routinely plays dozens and dozens of leagues every season like a lunatic.
Luckily for the readers of The Post, the Madman uses his powers for good, sharing the knowledge and strategies he has learned over his decades of pathological obsession. You can find his work at the N𓄧YP under the Fanไtasy Insanity banner, where he fights for truth, scoring and fantasy domination throughout the football season.
