—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
“Guys do not have a genetic blueprint that allows them to understand or love sports.”

“In the past, it seemed to make sense for a sportswriter on sabbatical from the playpen to attend the quadrennial hawgkilling when Presidential candidates are chosen, to observe and report upon politicians at play.

—Walter Wellesley (Red)
