He squints for a second or two too long to see if it’s really as bad as he thought, and then once he realizes he’s hitting his next shot off of Frankenstein’s fat foot, his head drops to the ground like a guy who just got dumped.

Caping for the younger players to get a bigger slice of the earnings also appears disingenuous to the nth degree.
