It’s amazing how something as seemingly inconsequential as a comma or a capital letter can change the entire meaning of a sentence. I’ll give you an example. You might say I helped my uncle, Jack, off a horse. Or, I helped...
If there’s one thing I know about football, it’s that you’ll be hard pressed to win a game when your quarterback rating is lower than your opponent’s score. Brian Hoyer was the Browns quarterback through the first 14 weeks of the...
