You may know me as the author of The Fault in Our Stars, and now I guess also as the co-host of The Away End, a brand new world soccer podcast.

Or like, oh, it's up.

First of all, Samuel was one of the best corners at the time.

I mean, the Manning energy that was going on at the time, New York media, if the Giants stink or if they're great, New York media is still crazy.

Then add in the Manning family.

What's the catch-22 of, like, yeah, everyone loved when you danced, but if you miss a pass, there'll be a headline, like, less dancing, more practice.

Big time.

Because I knew... The galas were great.
