To a couch potato with low level buzz Clarke might seem an ass...
As a team mate playing a game requiring you to pump up the adrenalin and effort to max every play in a brutal sport, he's a god send.
Contrary to what many think, players DO take plays off or only ramp up to 90-95 down to down. It's hard continually finding the emotional space to create 100% excitement and endeavor or wringing out effort at the proverbial 11 on the amplifier.
Someone who brings that to your sideline is just a joy, a reason to stay involved in the game, a reason to carry swag, a reason to believe beyond what your own physical gifts can bring because there's this intangible team vibe that flows when you have a few that can bring what Frank brings. You risk more and are rewarded more often for that risk.
Worth every bloody cent.
