“You play to win the game.”
It’s a football tale as classic as any in the modern era, perfect enough for football fathers to utilize as bedtime-story ammo, as football sons ultimately drift away into the warm arms of the football sandman.

Forget the sandman at that point and just hope your young one finds a way to allow Herm’s furrowed brows to escape the mind—until at least the morning.
