@allenstrk @TheFalcoholic Well, I'm somebody who kind of "bought in" -- imposing your will on the ground, positionless innovation, big plays downfield, the whole deal. Then I watched them play.

@KVanValkenburg "The Spaces In Between" is a good title for someone, somewhere. Thanks KVV.

There are many reasons I love and admire @TomJunod as a writer (and friend), but one specific reason is on display in this piece. People are not binary, heroes or villains. The best sports stories live in spaces in between, and the best stories go there.
