#happily i will glaze over the harm my beloved players do to each other because this is the Violence And Murder sport. most of the time

when does a prospect on a different team stop being a sweet kid in media and become your enemy? how does anyone do this. watch these kids get drafted, spotty and skinny and awkward, with their honking laughter and their earnest “this has been a dream of mine” interviews, and one day see a beloathed rival. is it their first point against your team? is it their first hit against your beloved superstar. their first scrum? i’m not like. trying to be cute here. i goofed around and posted a lot about the draft this year because thats what filled my time during off-season, and now i’m standing in this rising water and i’m wondering when it’s gonna start boiling me !
