Ok. I was his biggest critic. Only fair that I share current state thoughts. (excuse typo's and odd rambling......I'm on my way to falling down drunk. But before I go....)
Not much else to say, the man just closed the loop, healed the timeline whatever the fuck you want to call it. He did what all of us that were raised to respect the idea that an imperfect man can fall but rise again can recognize.
2019 = hero
2021-20203 = act II The hero struggles/evil triumphs (The Empire Strikes Back)
2024 to date = the hero triumphs

The Game is different now. It will always matter but he's had to shepherd it through a transition like no one else had had to deal with. He had to deal with the bad guys cheating.
He's grown, he's passed through the fire of being nice to people vs doing what you gotta do for you and yours (which is no small thing) basically gone from that scarcity mindset to an abundance mindset. Easy to imagine, incredibly difficult to do.
I didn't think he had it in him to be honest. Anyone who says they knew it all along is full of shit or a sycophant but not looking to fight about it.
All I can say is what an amazing turn around. Anyone looking for an inspiring redemption arc story, look no further.
Tip o' the cap Ryan. You are the man now. The Man in your own way, just like your kids get The Game in their own way. I see it in my own son, he gets it, he paid the price these past 4 years but here learned. The Rivalry is in good hands.
I never doubted him as an offensive mind.
I never doubted that he was a good man.
Now, I don't doubt that he is elite.
Glad to have him and thank Woody (and Urban) he snapped last year became "evil"/aggressive Ryan Day.
Now go win the whole fucking thing again, repeat and they won't know whether to shit or go blind for fucks sake.
Tip o' the cap Ryan.
You deserve the it.
