I’m sitting here on Tuesday evening, trying to string together a coherent series of thoughts about what just happened as I refreshed my Twitter timeline over and over again, watching the results roll in.

I tossed and turned.I was finding it difficult to get comfortable, as all these thoughts kept running through my head.A quote from William Shakespeare: "It is a tale told by an idiot/full of sound and fury, signifying nothing" is followed by a video clip of Skip Bayless and Stephen A.
