Talking in definitive terms regarding anything that is constantly fluid is usually unwise. However, in sports we attempt to do such things on the regular. It is a dangerous game we play, one in which we are more often wrong than not. Yet, danger sometimes fails to dissuade human beings from doing that which seems irresistible. The […]

It is all fun and games. It’s always hilarious to poke, jab, and prod the famous person from a distance. Why not, right?
