Michael Wilbon, football's most important game, basketball near "misses", CM Newton, home run chase, and our pending War on Octopi.
Good morning and happy Friday, ladies and gentlemen. There's hopefully a three-day weekend ahead of you that will provide respite from the daily grind.
Earlier this week, Michael Wilbon filed a piece for the WWL's new vertical The Undefeated. In it, Wilbon modestly surmises, on behalf of the entire black community, that "blacks are not feeling the sports metric movement." I have a few brief thoughts in response.
Wilbon makes the mistake of many columnists assuming their personal, read anecdotal, experiences means something wider.
