"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

And hows Jake Long. The guy's 22 years old, 5 years $57 mil, $30 mil guaranteed. Unbelievable.

Chris Williams is an absolute disaster of a pick w/ Branden Albert on the board.

Although, it could be worse.. The odds of Otah being a bust are set at: 85%.
