It is utterly mind-boggling to think that a college graduate, a prospect gearing up for the 2024 NFL Combine no less, could sit there and confidently declare that he doesn’t ‘believe in space’ and ‘other planets’. I mean, really? How does someone reach that level of ignorance in this day and age?

But as it turns out, I have rarely ever used cursive in my life. It has become nothing more than a novelty, brought out on rare occasions when I’ve had a few glasses of wine and start to talk in a fancy, looped manner.
