Gotta battle-test Wolf to see if he's capable of carrying the heavy load yet. So, have no problem with that process.

Wow...you give up easy. Playing poker with you must be an enriching experience! (kidding)
Meanwhile...checks notes...there are 27 games left. 54 potential points. We are ONLY THREE points behind the 'Nucks, 8 behind COL (2 GIH though), and three ahead of UHC (1 GIH). I just don't see that as a ship that's sailed. Tough sledding? No doubt....but forked? Don't count on it.
