to paraphrase G-dot Stein, “there is no there there” when it comes to our sports consumption. we look forward and forward to future events, but then (collectively) don’t watch the games themselves. how many people will watch the marlins on sunday night baseball next year compared to how many are reading espn about it or watching s-center? i’m into all the hoops hoopla too, but then, inevitably, it will be bucks! bobcats! next! on a tuesday night.

the best line is the one about how that dude is 99% about caramel.
