Here’s a hypothetical question that shouldn’t take you very long to answer: Would you rather your favorite NFL team play a very tight game that is widely regarded as one of the greatest matchups in the history of the Super Bowl, but ultimately lose? Or Would you rather your favorite NFL team dominate their opponent…
Read MoreNot really a post, but something I just wanted to share because I’ve watched this maybe 25 times this week, and there are still no signs of me slowing down. Out of nowhere, and with no explanation, my friend Jamie sends me a YouTube link via text. I’m not in a good place to open…
