Great album. My third favorite behind Futures and Integrity Blues (which is a major late career highlight after a few duds. I recommend it highly if newer Jimmy fell off your radar).

The problem is he's playing a lot of minutes and has a good number of assists. I could see him try to cash out. I wouldn't resign him if he tries that.

Is that unpopular? F that song. I'm 36 and despite it reminding me of my mom (who loves that song) driving me around as a kid, I always thought it was a cheesy ass pop song (and I have a soft spot for pop songs despite gravitating to hipster indie rock)
