John Jay Hit Squad
Just like the NFL's new tackling rules, it's important to keep your head up, John Jay Hit Squad! Look, I've been in this industry long enough to know that occasionally seven extra points can just randomly appear out of nowhere... and then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Keep pushing forward and good things will eventually happen.
