"It seems that many sportswriters assume that we've all seen the game, so there is no point in reporting it," writes Mark Galli. "So we read not about the stories and dramas of the games -- why, that would feel escapist, sentimental, corny, old-school. Besides, there are ESPN highlights! Instead, we have to endure pieces about quarrels, tantrums, gossip, salary disputes, and so on and so forth -- because that's real. But it's also boring. That's what we all live with every day."
