chuckling

The young Lakers coach was about to use a well-worn coaching adage, chuckling at the absurdity of offering a “back in my day” to anyone listening.

It is easy to imagine, somewhere in a Parisian hotel room, Eddie Jones chuckling at the television.

“I was that kid, at 7, who knew who Ted Turner was,” Schneider says, chuckling.

There was no gleeful chuckling or smiles masking malaise, only respectful discussion between people on either side of the political fence, or straddling it, about what this outcome tells us about who we are and how we, as a nation, should process these results.

I remember people chuckling at it, it was weird.
