    I hate everything and everything is awful. Is there any other way to feel after that soul-crushing loss? In my agony, I’m instantly transported twenty years back to that other collapse against Minnesota. Homecoming 1999. You remember it. If you...

    “This will be our finest hour.” That’s what Jim Harbaugh genuinely said to the sideline reporter at halftime. Go ahead. I’ll let you finish laughing. I mean, who even says that? Are we in a movie? If we are, poor...
