I do kind of empathize with Jamil here. Like her I’m working my way backwards through history and my “Willy Brandt’s handling of the Guillame scandal cemented his place as Germany’s worst ever Chancellor” tweet isn’t holding up as well as I’d hoped. 

As was that grin the camera caught while the stadium was chanting his name.

“There will always be soulless brutes who buy, gut and sell things, and die as they lived, without value or memories. May their demises be slow, painful and filled with screams only they can hear.” 

What is with the defeatist tone of this article? A person required to play quarterback for the Jets *wants* to continue to live, which is undeniable progress. 

Carolina, a motley crew without a true star...

My ugly 2-deep wall of eagerly awaited Sports Illustrateds, if I’m lucky, will sustain my brain after I can no longer figure out how to operate digital devices.
