Photograph: Sportsphoto Ltd/Allstar Oh Attica, darling, I love you madly for your blessed writing skills, but sista, you did this book a terrible injustice. I didn’t love it at all. The detail you put in this novel made me disconnect from the people and storyline, and we both know that’s not what you’re trying to accomplish nor establish with your readers. For as much money as I paid, I did not expect this. I really didn’t and I’m a bit miffed about that.

I know, I know that sounds absolutely insane, but let me explain. This book was so well written to the point I could find nothing wrong with it. There wasn’t one grammatical error, everything was so perfect—too perfect, if you will.

You see it, you know what it's about, you understand it. There's less dreaming about it and more planning and taking action to create that end result.

What to know for the 2023 NFL draft While Porter Sr. wants his son to stand on his own in the football world, it's hard for NFL teams to talk to the younger Porter without mentioning his dad. Would he, in fact, rather it remained a mystery? “No, I’m just saying it’s OK if it is. I don’t need to probe what I do. You know?” His voice is flinty. “It comes naturally.
