I said this a few weeks back when I published my Top Guards list, but it bears repeating:
The best part of my work over the past 35-plus years has always been covering games. Whether it's writing up a star's big performance or sniffing out a compelling feature on an unsung hero, a game is a chance to watch athletes compete with pressure at full blast, and then to share my thoughts with you.
The worst part of my work has always been picking all-star teams. Sure, it's necessary - players and fans love and expect it.
