Ed never debates from a position of ignorance. Well, except when he thinks that Breaks of the Game was written by Bill Simmons, and that as a Blazer fan, it wouldn't be worth his time.
Yep. Brain cramps are funny. You should put that in a sig in bright red. It'll prove something. http://sportstwo.com/threads/167492-Simmons-wouldn-t-play-for-Portland!?p=2406987&viewfull=1#post2406987 http://sportstwo.com/threads/167492...or-Portland!?p=2406999&viewfull=1#post2406999 I was clearly talking about Simmons and I confused the Halberstam's book title (which you mentioned) with Simmons's book title. At 2:00 AM on a Saturday night/Sunday morning. If that's the biggest mistake I make on this board then I'm pretty pleased with myself... but I have no illusion that that will be the case. Ed O.
At least you admit that you are ignorant. That's a start. Next step, reading The Book of Basketball and actually learning something about the game.
Is The Book of Basketball good? Maybe. I dunno. I haven't read it. I read a lot of other things, though, where I have greater confidence it's worth my time... Ed O.
