Can you guess what the fatal flaw in Seth Wickersham's book about the rise of the QB as a societal institution here in the United States might be? What could possibly have led Sam to give this a big old whoopie cushion bleat?

Dad always used to say that if you aren't falling down, you're not going hard enough. This is the way.
anyway not to get sincere on main but i think pretty often of klein saying, with childish, ahistorical petulance, "then why are we losing??" and coates answering: "because there are always moments when we lose." so we're losing! big deal!! some of you need to learn to go down swinging

In retrospect, we were always going to open a bookstore together. Just about 27 years since we took a Christmas trip to Shakespeare's house as a family. Anyway, who's seen "Hamnet"? It's good?
