the big difference in the Grey Cup looks like it's going to be that one time had a QB Sneak specialist who scored multiple touchdowns and the other team had a QB Sneak specialist who fumbled on the goal line

When you write the whole piece around the idea of “MeToo” as an adequate description of what caused specific men to lose specific positions, and when you do this incredibly weird cutesy business to avoid *mentioning what happened*, you do a disservice to readers.

To sum up his week:
Program gets arguably biggest game in decades, immediately spends all week completely taking every ounce of juice out of it only to then have his team get absolutely curb stomped in a game that was over in about 20 seconds.
