You just cannot admit, as almost all of the rest of here will do willingly, that you have never been in the situation DJ found himself. And, as in Oregon, you are one of maybe two here who continues to insist that you can do something you've never had to do better than those who have.

I tamed my lions into pussycats. I took it upon myself to do so.

You are in a very small minority in Portland who believe so.

Believe what you need to get you through the night. And post what you need to convince everyone how good you are. As I've said on the field, "we're just repeating ourselves, skip, time to move on."
