“I love sports. I think that’s what sportswriting on the Internet is all about. There’s a connection between writer and reader on the Internet that goes beyond the printed page. There are comments, easy ways to reply, polls and video and audio embedded, arguments, agreements, feelings hurt, exclamation points, it’s a lot like talking sports in a bar. In some ways it’s even better than talking sports in a bar because there isn’t crappy music playing too loud and the drunk who is screaming ‘Yankees RUULLLLE!’ is easily skipped over in the comments section. It’s not as good as talking sports in a bar, however, because the Internet does not offer beer. I expect Apple to fix that with their next version of the iPad.”
