The word you were looking for is murder

Its just boring. So much to do and so little of it any fun.

Couldn't you have gone with "nuzzi"?

It's an even stupider way of saying "We're all so divided these days!"

He does take some responsibility at the end though, right? He tells the creation that he's sorry and receives some kind of absolution. It was, frankly, the most emotionally implausible part of the story.

I don't want to dunk on them. I want to make examples of them.

Yea, I suppose that's the obvious answer here

Yea, those are the poles, I think. Neither that likely but both plausible. I just don't think many other teams have that wide a range of outcomes for this season so that may complicate trading this year's pick.

That isn't the worst idea. It might be hard to talk Brad into sending their pick because it's such a volatile asset. This could be a playoff team ready to make a push with Tatum coming back early (unlikely) or they just fizzle out/Brown gets hurt and then it's like a top 5 pick.
