silly sports urgency

yglesias:

Draftniks like Ford tend to just systematically overstate the value of almost everyone in the draft. He tells us that Jermaine Taylor, selected by the Rockets early in the second round, is “a great athlete and scorer” but in the real world there just aren’t 30+ “great” prospects in any given draft. And in particular in this draft everyone beyond Blake Griffin seems to be a bit of a crapshoot.

i stopped watching things like sports center. got no stomach for the Importance of the Moment topped by the Importance of the Next Moment. so as much as i instinctively like someone like stu scott i cant listen to dude.
