Yo. What's with the black armband.

I just feel so terrible today. I thought I gave it all I had. I tried to leave everything on the couch. I wore my team jersey, painted my face, bought a bumper sticker. I should have done more. I feel like I've let everybody down.

It's just proxy let down my man. Next season get some vintage jerseys for your kids and a recliner in the team colours.
