Reap the Wild Wyn on Tuesday

Tuesday, you are a real thorn in my side. I can't even enjoy the Iceland's victory over England for 24 hours. I have people at work telling me those who make the money get weasel out of our service level agreements. Those are fighting words folks!

Maybe I am investing in a future that is unrealistic. Is Townsend seen as a foundational piece simply because those around him were so below average?

There were times when Andros would force the left foot. Doing so impacted opportunities. Am I letting fear and desperation win out?
