Even if I say, "Yeah, alright, whatever, you're being honest now"- an I'm not gonna, cause I still dunno if you are for sure- what good's that do? Someone gets hurt bad enough, becomes a liability, what's to stop you rethinking it? We lose too many games? Piss off the wrong team? Get in bad with a judge you wanna stay on the good side of?
Practical and ruthless make a hard fuckin combination. I know that.
