Why was I so quick to cast doubt on a
16-year-old swimmer who won an Olympic gold medal by swimming her final
leg faster than the men’s champion did in the same event? (Because the
sport’s dirty history demands doubt.)
Why couldn’t I have celebrated Tim Tebow as a
good kid instead of dwelling on the fact he’s a below-average
quarterback? (Because being a good quarterback, not a Tebowing
proselytizer, is sort of the whole idea in the NFL.)
Why couldn’t I trust college-football coaches
when so many fans think college football is just about the greatest
thing there is? (Because most of the coaches turn out to be like the
latest snake, new Eagles boss Chip Kelly, late of the University of
Oregon.)
Why do I have to question everything? (You mean like I am right now?)
