The game was pretty much over. I think you have to try and respect your opponent. I know how hard it is to play this game. You don't have to rub it in. Not that he has much choice.
Reality now sets in.
I tried to do what I could to help defensively. The story ended here on a rainy night among a collection of off-ramps, the soundtrack not the cheering of thousands, but the silence that comes when you lose your last game of the season.
