Thanks, poorcats. You never disappoint. And the way your narration sounds just like Morgan Freeman in my mind really gives me the warm and fuzzies.
Hey, poorcats,
Now I feel cheated. I knew it was pure fiction but I just got “the rest of the story” Paul Harvey-style, about your WR’s “significant” improvement at passing.
I pulled into my neighbor the Cat Person’s field this week for our weekly shit talking session (and that bastard owes me money). I told him I heard some reporter apparently thinks the WR has made “significant improvements” in the passing dept this spring. Like you, little did he know I was baiting him into this hilarious topic for my own personal amusement.
But he flipped the script on me. Instead of spewing a bunch of BS, like you did above, he said the reporter only said that to smooth over some failed joke he made on the radio. Apparently, the reporter said on the radio the WR couldn’t throw it in the ocean to save a drowning child. So all these Cat People got butt hurt by his honest assessment, and the dude had to walk it back to save face. He threw the Cat People a fur ball (“significant improvements”) just to keep them engaged and clicking. I mean, the guy’s got to make a living, right?
So what gives? [For your narrative explanation, please incorporate complex sentences, rhetorical questions, and dramatic pauses...gives me goose bumps]
