Well done — this is the first sports story on The Ringer that has had that great analysis + tongue-in-cheek feel that made Grantland my go-to site at the start of every day. One note to the sub-editors: is it possible to get Grantland’s pop-up footnotes on this site as opposed to all those links? I hate opening up a fresh tab to follow the link and thus losing the flow of the original article. Cheers.
