Quote of the Day: Linda Holmes
Since the Seattle/Minnesota game was so bad (for us Seattle fans, anyway -- I'm sure Minnesota fans thought it was great!), one of the biggest cheers of the night came when the announcer told us that Dallas had beaten Miami in Game 5 of the NBA Finals.
In that spirit, here's Linda Holmes writing an introduction for "A Short Photo Essay About LeBron James For People Who Don't Like LeBron James":
"For those who followed the hullabaloo when James left the Cleveland Cavaliers to play for the Heat — which is, in and of itself, something he had every right in the world to do — he's wound up carrying more than his fair share of criticism.
And yet.
Aaaaaaand yet, for everyone who has seen a beloved local star move on, there is something viscerally satisfying about a hugely publicized move by a very big ego not resulting in a championship. It's not necessarily right. It just is. And what you need to do is flush it out of your system efficiently so you can go back to caring about sports in the same not especially rational way you normally do: by hating the Yankees."
