And a very bad one at that, almost always losing his gambles because he takes the gambles with the worst odds.

The reason he thinks it's so clever is because it is genuinely so unexpected, because it is so incredibly reckless and stupid.

Kalani said he wanted to spark the team. He sparked the wrong team. Luckily, our

I'd say it places a lot more pressure on him to be successful. High-risk gambling isn't a path to success.

I don’t get why our fake punts are being run by the punt. Hike it to one of the others in the backfield,
