He runs his mouth all the time. Nobody was blaming him for anything. For him to come back at me was a personal attack.

Losing a game is never fun, no one really wants to lose, unfortunately someone must, that is how the game is played.

My hope is like the writers you just read from you pick up the pieces and rebuild. Be sure to also take a look at game quotes for kids.
