Sounds like the same story the last two or three years to me.
no, people who can't see the difference aren't looking with fresh eyes.
Last year we had the TALENT to compete, and so when we wanted to we competed with just about anyone. but the chemistry problems were terrible and so we only sporadically showed up with that effort.
This team, on the other hand, may or may not be talented but it ****ing competes every night. And that's a point of honor. Rocky was a hell of an inspiring story, and he lost the big fight. But he refused to quit. That's always great.
