Down in the grays I just posted a story the moral of which might well be how Big Law rots your brain…..

Tie:

Here's the thing: you've got an announcer who has the chance to call a Rob Gronkowski dodge ball video, which is far more likely to be seen by thousands of people than anything else he will ever call in his entire career.
