Poor Jared Goff. The Detroit Lions quarterback never seems to catch a break, and yet he never complains. Goff’s stoic nature tells me two things about him. He could never be a sportswriter, because grumbling about the most trivial things — seriously, no upgrade on my last flight even though I have Double Platinum Horcrux
