One year in. Some huge downs. Lots of little ups. At the end of the day, one of the best moves the franchise has ever made.

Before the game, Herb walked into the room. Stopped, and said "You lose this game, you will take it to your fucking grave". Then he turned to walk out, stopped at the door and shouted "YOUR FUCKING GRAVE"
