    Week 18 2022: Heroes and Goats

    It's hard for me to get a gauge on J.J. Watt hagiography. He was obviously an exceptional player, but the praise for him always had a concerning valence for me. I don't think he nurtured his image as a Great White Hope; he was just a big, humane dude. I don't know if I'm judging the Beastie...
