I don’t think the line is that fine. In fact, I think it’s kinda blurry.

That's what fine line means.

Fine line means well defined and clear. It’s not always clear...

This is what I was trying to say. Fine or blurry, it’s easy to cross.

There is a fine line between blurry and fine line.

That line is very unre-FINE-d.

I don't like criticizing guys like Kolby Lee for not being athletic.

Yes, the old, they shouldn't read it if they don't want to hear the criticism

Welcome to being a fan. You should get over it. We pay the money

Being a fan and being a jerk aren't mutually inclusive.

Did not say you had to be a jerk. But you can still criticize.
