You're putting yourself in line to be humiliated.

Now, not to the tune of 83 points.

That's insane.

It's absurd.

It's the second greatest scoring output in the history of the, what, 84 years of the league or whatever it is?

You're not putting your best players out there.

You're setting yourself up and your young guys to be embarrassed in some way.
