Yes. I like sports.

Katie, didn't you know I was a veritable man without qualities? I don't memorize Sports Center casts and I hope Jim Rome falls down a deep crevasse and burns, but I enjoy sports. And hating on Boston sports is such a safe, fashionable thing. Just because the Patriots have worked themselves into the best dynasty of the past thirty years, the Red Sox are better (and yes, much more lovable: Manny could make the transfer from bad-ass outfielder to pull-string plush-toy quite seamlessly) than the Yankees, and the Bruins... nevermind. How is it that you spare the Celtics? The lovable losers (pretty non-threatening: I understand why you'd be afraid of the Sox in St. Louis)? Only for our generation I guess. But that's all about to change.

In a more general address to the blog community, I figured out the way to comment on work, so I'll go back and comment on those pieces (Tom, I owe you some I know) that I've read and didn't mark up.
