yes. I was thinking the same thing and then you wrote it-- really nice AMA

so so true. yes-- the A-Bombs were no more devastating (and a little less than the Tokyo Fire Bombing) than about 10 or 11 or the raids that had occurred by August. The real motivator for the Japanese surrender was Soviet declaration of war *which, oddly enough, they had not declared from 1941-45

so weird-- I just met one of the guys who played one of the knights... great guy and he said it was a blast to film. He wasn't Mr. Dinklage, though.

Any problems in the newsroom because of this? Is Ben Volin on board? (I know he's not particularly popular with the Pats front office)-- what about the other sports reporters? Did they miss the story? Not publish? Get their stories quashed?

fascinating reading; have enjoyed the series...... Question: Do you think we normalize this behavior when rich and famous people do it? Or do you think it stigmatizes the behavior further (the guns, drugs, etc)?

Also, Belicheck comes off looking just terrible in your series (deservedly so, IMHO)- have you experienced any blowback? (Like, does Dan Shaugnessy go up in popularity because the Patriots have other people to hate :-)
