I wouldn't make a habit of stepping into Thers' blog with my own rantings and personal fol de rol but this seems to be a special kind of weekend, so I hope you'll forgive me. We've just ended a week so historic, so amazing and wonderful, that we should be sealing newspapers in plastic bags and guarding them like Comic Book ...

I don’t particularly believe in “clutchness” as a repeatable skill, but it’s ...
