Why is Marv 0-7 in the playoffs?

[Burma]

This is really a good example.  Perfectly fitting, I think.  Marvin has shown outstanding ability navigating within "The Family" and it's business.  Wholly outclassed when dealing with direct conflict.  



Well done.  (literary references do so warm my cold heart).
