Wide Right, Still Waiting: Buffalo Bills Pt. 1 (Ep. 21)

Welcome to Misery Sports Co, where we quantify heartbreak and track the human cost of sports. That’s right. Our unpaid analysts interns dig into organizational choices, unexpected collapses, and the slow erosion of fan hope. Last week, we examined the Milwaukee Brewers, a team whose offseason hype promised triumph but delivered tension, frustration and just enough heartbreak to keep fans awake at night. Today, we’ll evaluate the latest organizational missteps, strategic misunderstandings, and the resulting damage to fan confidence. But first, a brief interruption from our first sponsor. This segment of the Misery Sports Co podcast is sponsored by the Washington Wizards Traveling Goal Show. Hey, are you having a hard time meeting that big lofty goal at work? Can’t meet those already unreasonable expectations. Well, now you don’t have to because the Washington Wizards will get you there themselves. That’s right. Pay the Washington Wizards traveling goal show to come show up at your work, and they will look so horrendously bad by comparison. Before you know it, you’ll have fifty, sixty, maybe eighty three sales, and no one will know how you did it. But get on this deal quick though. The Wizards will only be this bad for the next decade plus, so order now! Thank you so much, Washington. Uh. Never change. For those who did not see it, Bam Adebayo scored eighty three points for the Miami Heat. Um, it got to the point. And I looked at as many highlights as I could where Miami in the last six minutes. They were like intentionally fouling. They were feeding bam. Um and Washington was triple teaming him and he still got fouled. He still got points. It was just it wasn’t a basketball game. No, it was a battle of pride in Washington. Lost? Yes. They did an exhibition to see if they could break Kobe’s eighty one, and by golly, they did. So congrats to them. Well done. And thank you, Washington, for the sponsorship. We will take your money. Mhm. Time for the weekly performance review. Each week we review organizations on execution leader leadership decisions. Always terrible late game strategy and the psychological consequences for the people who still buy the tickets. So, Zach, what do you got this week? All right, so briefly touch on actually both of our teams the Browns and the Titans very quickly. So we’ve we’ve both of our teams have signed some free agents. I couldn’t tell you a single thing about any of the free agents that the Cleveland Browns have signed. They signed some, uh, some offensive linemen, uh, which makes sense. Joel Bitonio, our, uh, left guard Hall of Fame career. He has officially retired as of today. Congrats to him. What a career. Yeah, he needs to leave. Uh. I feel bad for him. He suffered for far too long. God bless you. Yeah. Um, but I wanted to share something, and I sent it to you this week. Um, it was ESPN. They were doing winners and losers, uh, for free agency, and they actually paired our teams together and they said losers. Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans. Here’s a quick blurb. Perhaps it’s unfair to lump two of the worst teams in the AFC together. They both got better Monday, in part because it would have been hard for them to get much worse. Oh my God. I just have a lot of questions about their day one editions, which were more curious than inspiring. We’re trying our best. Okay. What do they want? What do they want us to do? I don’t know, I we’re just along for the ride. Trevor. I mean, you know, maybe it’ll end up with a playoff appearance for one of our teams. I don’t care. I’m rooting for it. I’m going for it. Mine. It’s not going to be mine either, but I don’t know. We’ll see. More to come with the draft. We’ll definitely discuss that. We’ll have to have a break room at some point. Yes. To talk about the NFL draft. Yes. Um, wanted to go across the pond. So, uh, one of the bright spots for me is Arsenal. So Arsenal is at the top of the the Premier League right now. They’re holding on. Got about a seven point lead on Man City. But Man City has one game in hand. Uh if you don’t know a win is three points. So you know Man City could climb. And Arsenal has historically blown this every single season so far this season. Uh this season though. And something that’s interesting and it, uh, is slightly connected to us Tottenham Hotspur. They are Her one point from relegation. They’re currently at twenty nine points, West Ham is at twenty eight twenty eight, so that warms my soul. We’ve got some friends that follow Tottenham. Adam. I also have Logan that follows Tottenham, so. Oh sorry Logan, we’re dancing with the devil right now, so we need to get out of this spot. Um, but it’s not looking so great for Tottenham right now. You hate to see it. Trevor, what do you got in your weekly performance review? Well, uh, like you said, the Titans have been in the news. I guess because we had the most money to spend, uh, in free agency. I think we had around one hundred million dollars that we had to spend. So we have been super active. I think we’ve signed nine players so far. I can’t name not a dang one of them. I know we’ve signed like there was like a forty five minute stretch where we signed three corners for like big deals. Like they’re all going to start like we just revamped our corner, uh, cornerback room, which, sorry, luxurious Sneed that didn’t work out. He got hurt a lot. But also I just I don’t think it was a great fit. So we’re probably going to cut him. Uh, we did sign the top, uh, defensive tackle, uh, on the market. If I had done what I should have done, I would have his name at the ready. But just to reiterate, I don’t know the names of any of these people. Um, but I know that maybe the inside of our defensive line is going to be nasty. It is going to be so nasty because you already had Big Jeff in the middle, and now we’re adding old Jfm, I’m going to say, or his initials that I just I’m totally blanking on, but he was, uh, um, the second or third leading sack, uh, getter from all defensive tackles last year. Uh, from the Broncos. And so we haven’t signed any defensive ends. So I’m thinking that’s where we’re going to draft again. We’ll have a break room sometime. We’ll talk about the draft. But um, thankfully they have all been pretty young that we’ve signed so far. And that’s what I just I’m so tired of paying a thirty one year old wide receiver who you’re like, maybe they’ll be great for the Titans and they never are. I’m so tired of it. So let’s just sign some young guys who have something to prove. Let’s get going. Going to be fun. So we’ll see. Okay. Hope is high. Hope is high for the Titans tomorrow. Rebrand new jerseys. Don’t look over here at the dumpster fire of a roster. Look at these shiny new jerseys baby. So that’s tomorrow. We will review those right here in a couple weeks here on MSK. Uh, the stars are still streaking there. Last time we talked, they had a ten game win streak going. They did lose in overtime to the avalanche who are the top team in the league. But we still have a thirteen point, uh thirteen game point streak. Uh so that is going well. Zach I have some fun hockey tidbits for you. So the top three teams in the central, uh, are the first place team in the entire league in the avalanche, the second place team in the entire league. That’s a stars and the fourth place team in the entire league. That’s the wild. So Carolina’s in there in third to get to the next Western Conference team, you have to go all the way down to thirteen. Oh no you have to go to thirteen. So it’s like the central and then everybody else. In fact, the rest of the West is so bad that as this was tweeted out on March fifth. On March fifth, none of the teams in the entire Pacific Division would have a playoff spot in the East. Wow. It’s that crazy. And I covered that with the the Blue Jackets because there’s still two points out right from the Bruins. It’s just like the East is ridiculous. And we could go on. There’s probably a whole segment on the NHL playoff rules and how you the stars have to play the central. Again, you have you have to essentially get out of your division in the playoffs. It makes no sense. Nope. It’s so dumb. So we’re just battling basically. I think we’re five points behind Colorado. They have a game in hand. We’re just battling because whoever is first place in the division gets to play the last, uh, wildcard team, and I sure would like that instead of the fourth best team in the entire league. So yeah, there you go. Shout out to the Titans and the stars and not the Mavericks because I just can’t with them right now. So that’s, uh that’s where we are. That concludes our weekly performance review. Okay. We’ll keep tracking these developments closely as the season unfolds. But before we head to the mailroom, a quick word from our next sponsor. Do you ever lead a roster full of Gold Glove outfielders, silver slugging first baseman and future Hall of Famers and still have no idea whether your team is on to the knockout rounds. Then you need Marc de Rosa’s wait, where are we? Dugout services helping managers navigate standings, tiebreakers and which pool they’re technically in. Our specialty turning post-game meetings into live Google searches as the entire dugout huddles over a phone, whispering, so are we still alive? Because why rely on rules when you have this guy leading your team? Is that true? Yeah, I misspoke. I was on Hot Stove with a couple buddies today and completely misread misread the calculations. We knew that Mexico was going to play Italy and then running all the numbers with. If we lost tonight with the runs allowed. No, you didn’t scored. Liar. So I just misspoke. No. Okay. Okay, buddy. I don’t think you did. Oh my gosh. Yeah. World Baseball Classic. The USA should be dummying people. And this guy’s like, oh, let’s take our foot off the gas because I’m pretty sure we’re already moving on when you’re not. It’s unbelievable. How does the coach not know it’s your job? It’s like, what, three, four games? Yeah, it’s not hard math. Yeah, it’s just pool play. Like just, And there’s a. So there’s a scenario where. Good gracious. Okay, Italy’s winning nine to one. So I think. I think USA is through. But that guy. Not because of that guy in light of his stupidity. Somehow they are through. Yes. They didn’t deserve that at all. But we do deserve the sponsorship dollars, so thank you. Um, thank you for that. And hopefully they get their act in gear and we can we can all be better for it. That’s right. Uh, let’s step into the mail room, which is now officially open. Of course, we don’t actually receive mail. Um, God, this god dang mail room union now has pretty strict guidelines on what, uh, is technically the letter of the law around correspondence, which I didn’t know was a legal term with some pretty serious precedent. Fortunately, screenshots from Twitter still count. So let’s review some of the files, shall we? All right. Well, if I, uh, take a look, some of the things I found in the mailroom. So one of them was from Mark Stein at the Stein line. This was, uh, I don’t know, five, six days ago. And it was a really interesting stat. So it was taking a look at the m b a in the bottom of the NBA. So the bottom NBA teams the top or I’m sorry, the bottom ten, not the top ten. At that time when this tweet was sent out, the bottom ten had combined to lose their last forty four games in a row. Holy Crow forty four, which is incredible. Absolutely incredible. Top tier tanking right there. Yeah. I mean it’s a great draft class. We’ve covered that. I mean it’s it’s worth tanking for but holy cow. I mean, at least try a little bit. Washington’s not. We know that. We know that, Christopher London, London tweeted. The more I see guys have high point games, the more I realize Kobe’s eighty one point record will never be touched lol. And then there was a note on Twitter and the readers added context. It was. It was touched. So you have to think you’re so safe tweeting that out. Oh man, this will never happen, man. Everybody’s in the seventies, but man, super safe. And then out of all people, Bam Adebayo. Are you kidding me? Oh, man. Trevor, what do you got from the mailroom? Uh, got a couple things. So I have not followed college basketball very closely, which is pretty, I would say pretty on par for me. I’m more of a tournament guy. Follow Ohio State a little bit, but there has been a fun story. So Miami of Ohio had an undefeated season thirty one and oh. Oh yeah. Um, and somehow they’re a bubble team or they were a bubble team. And we’re arguing that like sixteen win SEC teams should be getting in over them, which is insane to me. But beyond that discourse, uh, Nick Roush tweeted, um, this about the scenes after Miami’s last game, which was at Ohio University, their big rival, and they let the crowd know about it after. So Nick Roush tweeted, you just beat your rival in overtime for the first time in fifteen years to cap off a thirty one zero season, the only proper way to celebrate is to immediately mother the student section and included a video with all the Miami players going over and letting the letting the Ohio students know about it. So I saw that. That’s, uh, that’s a proper response. Yeah. A lot of haters right now. There’s a lot of haters. And there’s. They didn’t lose a game. This goes back. You know how worked up I get about Florida State a few years back when they got left out of the playoff. I get really worked up about it. So I’m not going to now. But like you, you, you want all the games in front of you. What else do you want them to do? Like you have to reward them for winning the games on their schedule if you’re mad about their schedule. Deal with that in the off season. But we’re playing games right now and they won all of them. So anyways, uh, my, uh, tweet of the week, um, is from Michael Greer who, uh, had some breaking news about one of our favorite players here at MSK. Uh, Michael says breaking Kyler Murray has entered the Vikings facility for his physical. Kevin O’Connell is there to help him up onto the doctor’s table. Thank you. Michael. Uh, top tier tweet. Thanks for that. Uh, I just, I hope I know your team won’t, but I hope my team does not win that lottery. Please go to the Vikings. Don’t care. Go anywhere. Yes. Just we already know it’s not going to work. Like, I don’t know. I have very low hope. He is fun to watch. Run around. But you don’t want him dropping back trying to look over his offensive line. Yeah. Well, again, our very unpaid, very internship based analysts will continue monitoring Twitter for new developments, dramatic overreactions, and the occasional reasonable take before we recognize and go into the Office of Moral Victories. Here’s another word from our sponsor. I have something hilarious that you want to yell at a professional athlete but you don’t want to get Ron are tested. Well, now you don’t have to. You can pay me. Hey, I’m Phil, and I’ll show up at your sports game and yell whatever you want me to until I get kicked out. Yes, you do have to buy me a ticket. Yes, I will fight anyone who approaches us. No, I am not allowed back in MetLife Stadium after that incident. But whatever you can think of, I’ll yell at them. Even ones you slip me. And then halfway through me saying it, you regret it. At that point, it’s too late. I will move your hand away from my mouth because I am contractually obligated to say it. All of it, or else I cannot collect my fee of twenty five dollars and three jars of Vienna sausages like the repairman ate and brave little toaster. Call today one eight hundred. That guy said it, not me. There’s a lot to process in that sponsorship. I want to reiterate to our listeners, that’s just a dude named Phil who paid all the sponsorship money for me to read that. Yeah. And we charge a top dollar for these sponsorships. We’re not making money otherwise. No. And you know what? Players are just really stinking soft right now. Just let people talk. A bunch of crap and just play the game. Shoot the ball. Play basketball. Kevin Durant, like you don’t need to go on Twitter. We don’t need you talking to people on the stand. Just run up and down the court and let us say stupid stuff and laugh when it makes sense. Or you you respect it. Yeah, I love that take. Listen. You soft. Let me. Let me shout what I want to shout and play. Bounce your ball. You just stop the game and point at me like. Stop this nonsense. You’re getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars. Someone says something hurtful. Just keep going. This is the fourth quarter. I have had so many drinks They had to cut me off. Let me yell at you. What do you. What do you expect? Oh, man. Golly. All right, well, let’s jump into the Office of Moral Victories. That’s right. The segment that celebrates teams whose final scoreboards don’t tell the whole story. Uh, or at least whose press conferences try to spin it differently. I’ll kick us off here. Um, I do have an honorable mention for my, uh, employee of the week. Shout out to, uh, we’ve talked about him on the show before, but Bruce Thornton guarded Ohio State. Now the Ohio State all time leading scorer, Big Ten player of the week, got them to go dancing. How about that? The Buckeyes will be dancing, which sounds crazy. It’s been for years. Um shout out to Bruce Thornton. However. Tough week for Bruce. Uh. To go up against this. Um, this is at the, uh, ACC tournament. This is Pitt versus Stanford. By the way, didn’t we lose? Didn’t Ohio State lose to Pitt? Don’t want to talk about it. It’s terrible. They’ve won half court shots, Trevor. Two straight years. They’ve hit half court shots to me. I can’t believe Ohio State bounced back from this. But um shout out to this legend in the stands. Uh, this Pitt, I think he’s a member of the pep band who is, uh, taking an interesting tactic during NC state. I’m sorry, Stanford shooting some free throws. See if you can pick up on what they’re trying to do. Held to three in the first half. That was minor. Second a Corey hits the free throws despite the presence of the really loud guys singing the Goo Goo Dolls behind us. Not sure how that didn’t throw them off. This is some list to be on. Duke. Duke and Duke. Freshman. Screaming Goo Goo Dolls out of it was going into like the second verse. Uh, during that free throw me in the fourth quarter of those games, man. Just come on. Kevin. Kevin Durant shut up, pointing at him and saying he’s screaming goo goo Dolls at me. Just giving him the double birds. I don’t want the world to see this. So shout out to that legend. You are my employee of the week. How about you, Zach? Well done. Uh, we’re actually going to go back. I don’t know, it’s somewhere between episode fifteen and twenty and that general range we covered Bodo Glimt and I wanted to provide an update. There is no way they made it back on oh my gosh, Champions League. So they’re a Norwegian professional football club. They have no business being in the Champions League or doing this. They’re up three zero on sporting CP in the round of sixteen, so they just had a three zero decision. I did a little digging on Boto. They’re good for their, you know, division. They’re. They’re in the elite Syrian and they’ve been first or second place for the last. I don’t. Know like six years at this point, but to go against the best in Europe and to continue to produce is amazing. This is incredible. So Bodo Glimt, well done employees of the week. Unbelievable. Bodo Glimt returns. There’s some very rich people because there was a market for if Bodo Glimt was getting back on the show on uh, Kouchi. I don’t know if you saw that online, but some people. Yeah, there were a lot of money. It was well, it was like two really large bets. It was super weird. So weird. No insider trading here. We’ll check. We’ll check on our intern. Suspicious. Uh, but we’re totally above board. Hey, congratulations to this week’s employees of the week. Uh. Well done. And before we jump into the deep dive, a word from our next sponsor. Do you ever wake up, look at your phone and think, why do we do that? Call the trade, then panic. Advisory group. We help NFL front offices cancel trades before anyone notices. Awkwardly explain it to reporters and still pretend it was part of the plan all along. Max Crosby never happened. It’s unbelievable. Of all the franchises to pull that shady crap and use this consulting firm to make us gaslight us into thinking it never happened, of course it’s the Ravens. And then they signed someone literally hours after it. Trey Hendrickson like, come on, you’re kidding me. Everybody was calling that move before it happened because we just know what the Ravens are about. Ah, well, anyways, thanks for your, uh, thanks for your sponsorship dollars. And, uh, now it’s time for our deep dive segment. That’s right. In this segment, we step back from the weekly chaos and conduct a long term audit of fan investment versus organizational return. Trevor, walk us through the findings. So I was at, uh, roller hockey this week, and I was talking to a guy who’s a big Buffalo Sabres fan, and we always give each other crap because he claimed, obviously, like all Sabres fans, claims that the stars Stanley Cup shouldn’t have counted because Brett Hull’s foot was in the crease, even though there was a memo that went out to the teams that that’s not a big deal anymore, and it’s fine. I’m not going to get into it here. Uh, but he said, um, yeah, that was a huge sports catastrophe for him. And then he said, uh, he said yeah, that and Music City Miracle. And I said, oh boy, I’m also a Titans fan. He was like, wow, you were on the other side of two of the three biggest childhood heartbreaks for me. That’s super cool. I was like, yeah, yeah, I’m sorry about that. Shout out to Sean. You’re cute. But, uh, he said the other one was wide, right? And so I thought in honor of him, we would take a look at the Buffalo Bills this week, uh, in our very quick, uh, deep dive where we fly through and take a very broad look at some sadness, observe it from a distance, don’t take it on too much. And then we put it back. Uh, did you know that professional football in Buffalo goes all the way back to nineteen fifteen with the Buffalo All Stars, which is generic as hell for you? Go with all stars. Yikes. Uh. Then the next year, they became the Niagaras. Then they became the prospects. The next year. Frankly, I think changing your name every year for three years straight is very unstable. That’s just me. They eventually become the Bisons in nineteen twenty four and nineteen twenty six. Then they’re the Rangers. Yeah. Now for our further so close our further. We said time out in twenty seven. Give us a break. Hey, we’re back in nineteen twenty nine. Immediately folded again after that. Uh, but in nineteen thirty nine they get an AFL team. Uh, the Buffalo Indians don’t don’t love that one, but hey, then, um, World War two happens. And so that never really goes anywhere. That immediately stops. Fast forward a little bit how it happened. World War Two happened. We shipped everybody out. Uh, who’s gonna play? This isn’t a League of Their Own situation where we got the wives to come in and play football for us. We gotta shut it down. We gotta shut it down. We can do baseball. Okay. It’s a great movie. Go watch it. Wonderful. Um, so then football’s gonna start up again. Hey, let’s get the AFL cooking. And, uh, Lamar Hunt tells Harry. Weismer guessing weismer. I’m going to go with Weismer. You can have a team. Uh, you have the option of Miami, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Saint Louis, Atlanta or Louisville, Kentucky. Bluegrass. Uh, he didn’t choose Louisville. He chose Miami. And Miami was like, no, no, you you can’t play in the Orange Bowl and there’s nowhere else to play. So that’s a no from us. And so they went, oh, good. We’ll go with our real first choice. We’ll go with Buffalo. So Buffalo charter member of the AFL, they drafted a dude named Cookie Gilchrist which is dope as hell. Cookie Gilchrist shout out. Um basically they have sort of an up and down existence. So that was nineteen. I should have said this is nineteen sixty now. So they’re starting um right around the Vietnam War. Trevor we better watch out. Just listen. You’re trying to get me to say that that one wasn’t as bad, so we didn’t have to stop football, and I’m not gonna say that, okay? We didn’t make this podcast to rank the wars, so. So we’re just gonna keep going. Nineteen sixty, it’s up and down. Let me let me get to a less controversial part of their history in the seventies, where they drafted O.J. Simpson. We’ll take it. We’ll take it. You know what? We’ll take it. The juice is loose. Uh, O.J. Simpson, electric runner. There’s too much to get into otherwise. Really? Talk about his life. Vietnam war. Yes. To get to violence. Yes. Multiple homicides. It’s fine. So he’s allegedly. Trevor? Allegedly. Sorry. Allegedly. He’s not with us anymore. So I think that we’re safe. But he’s. He’s looking up at us. So they drafted O.J. Simpson. Uh, he’s the only player to rush for two thousand yards before they move moved to a sixteen game season. Did you know that? So at the time they were playing fourteen games and dude still ran for two thousand yards behind the Electric Company, which is a dope name for an offensive line. Like when your offensive line is good enough to get a sweet nickname like the electric company is amazing. Like so cool I. Our offensive line is so bad that we have bad nicknames for them, so to be on the other side would be great. Um, things got really bad in the eighties. Um, this is a quote from, uh, Steve Tasker who joined the bills in nineteen eighty six. Uh, he said that, quote, being acquired by Buffalo was akin to being sentenced to prison in Siberia. Oh, so that was not just because it’s terrible football. Also because it’s super cold and global warming really hadn’t regulated the the climate up there. So it was, you know, quite cold. Uh, and I’m not taking a position on that. Stop trying to put me in a place where I have to speak on this stuff. Zach, I’m not gonna do it, all right? I’m not weighing in on this stuff anyways. All right. We’ve we’ve gotten through everything. Our next benchmark, I guess, is the Gulf War. But here we are in the nineties. So they turn it around. They’ve got Jim Kelly at quarterback. Life is good. Um, and in nineteen ninety they make the Super Bowl only to miss a field goal against the Giants and lose nineteen to twenty. No problem. Next year back in the Super Bowl baby. Let’s go. They lose by thirteen points to Washington. Alright nineteen ninety two uh they’re back. Then they lose to Dallas. They lose seventeen to fifty two after Jim Kelly gets hurt. Uh that’s rough. Nineteen ninety three back in the Super Bowl. Baby, this is happening. And then they lose to Dallas thirteen to twenty. So I’m sorry thirteen to I think it’s thirteen to thirty. I said twenty. I’m pretty sure it’s thirty. Yep. Thirteen to thirty. This is the portion of Buffalo that I remember vividly. It was just like you could not for the life of them. They couldn’t get over the hump. Like just one time is all you need. It’s tough. Would you. All right. Would you rather. Would you trade some of Cleveland’s history to have gotten two Super Bowls and not got to the top? Yeah, absolutely. I mean, we’ve had our own failures in the AFC Championship around this time. Honestly, like it was, you know, early nineties or whatever with the fumble and the drive and all that stuff. But to get to the Super Bowl is awesome. Like there’s just a huge celebration. Yeah, I personally wouldn’t trade that for anything, but if you go there four straight times and you can’t get the job done, that’s brutal. It hurts and it feels like, you know, you gotta get there. And I don’t know how true it is. Like, oh, the great players are great teams. They have to lose first before they can go on to win one. Like I guess that happens sometimes, but like it could have been true. Yeah. As a Buffalo fan, you have to be thinking like we were so close in ninety. We got right back in ninety one, we lost it. We know what it takes to get here. This is going to happen. You lose that one by thirteen and then you just get walloped the next year after Jim Kelly gets hurt running into some no disrespect, right. Like these. These Dallas teams were awesome. This isn’t like a, you know, like you said, it’s not an all time team this past year, like with the Patriots. I mean, they were good but they weren’t incredible. Yep. Um, so it’s really frustrating when you’re a fan of a team that’s really good. But they end up hitting a buzz saw that’s just like these these all time greats. Yep. So I’m going to do something a little different. I am going to stop it there. And maybe down the road we will come back and revisit the bills, uh, post nineties to today because I think that’s a different misery than the history before that, which was again, World War Two to the Super Bowls. Yeah. There’s a lot of catastrophes and wars. We we hit. Yeah. Yeah, it was a lot. So, uh, shout out to Buffalo Bills fans. Uh, you fit right in here. Just know that you have found a home. It’s here. We’re happy you’re here. That’s right. And that concludes this week’s deep dive. This week’s audit uncovered multiple operational failures, several questionable leadership decisions. Only limited evidence that anyone involved has learned anything from the experience. I know I haven’t. That’s right. Our unpaid staff interns will continue monitoring the situation and filing the appropriate reports. Join us again next week, won’t you?
