From my beloved Tyler Sullivan on my beloved CBS Sports app:
“The reining Super Bowl champs could simply draft a QB….”
Well, no.
There’s rein, and then there’s reign.
You reign over a kingdom, you rein in a horse.
A king who cries, “A horse! A horse! My kingdom for a horse!” is pleading to exchange his reign for some reins.
Then there’s rain. And the late actor Claude Raines. But let’s not go there. Rein and reign are hard enough to remember.
As my dear Tyler Sullivan proves.
Love that you worked Claude Raines into the discussion.
