Lierary critics are people who wish they could write creatively, but can't. Music critics are people who wish they could play a musical instrument, but can't. Theater critics are people who wish they could act or write a screenplay or direct, but can't do any of them. Sports critics are people who wish they could throw a football 45 yards, hit a curve ball, shoot like Curry, but remain on the sidelines, in the dugout, or on the bench. What they can do is get angry if anyone disagrees with them so much so they lose readers and get fired. A plot gone awry, a sour note, forgotten lines, a dead dialogue, a misdirection, an interception, strike three, fouled out, a visit to the unemployment office. All could happen, and do. But nobody's perfect, right? C'est la guerre!
