What I enjoyed so much about this article is how we all get so carried away with the self importance of us all as we claw our way to the top of the dunk world and aim to be at the forefront of the backboard. I loved your part about enjoying the players before they earn rights to "hoopla" (ouch) and praises' ricochet (ouch again) off the lips of critics. Thank you for your journalistic knowledge that comes from trekking and tracking the lives of all who live with passion.

I reflect on this exquisite and poignant commentary on the shifting importance of sports as our lives evolve and the lingering associations with life altering events we have no control over. So many of us live our lives vicariously through the successes of our favorite teams, the marriages of movie stars, even the despair of others in the news and on the internet. As our lives grow more connected to the personal and professional values we hold dear and the intimate relationships we cherish, we do grow further distanced from that which will continue...regardless of whether we are "watching" or too busy...living and loving our own lives. Thank you for a wonderful article.

Thanks, I guess!

That is wild! I loved Cone as a Met. If there was any justice, Straw would have re-signed, they'd have stayed good and kept Cone a long time.

Wonderful post. Late-September 1989 sounded familiar to me, so I checked my game log -- I went the next day, Fan Appreciation Day, the last home game of the season. Gary Carter got the day off, but I got David Cone on the mound, two HoJo steals to put him at 40 (he fell four homers short of 40-40) and Darryl's 29th HR that season. Oh, and Randy Myers struggled in the ninth and Julio Machado came on and blew the game. But before the game, my friend and I were in the RF loge looking out over the Mets bullpen, and when Doc emerged and headed toward the dugout, we called down to him and got him to look up and wave hello to us.

Sooo late in commenting but I just found you. I am an atheist, a goth if I must go there, and I celebrate Gothmas. An arbitrarily made up day with an excuse for Christmas LIKE decore in Gothy themes. My topper is a skull, but I suppose Spidey works. Nice ornaments, might have to borrow your idea of finding an ornament artist.

All good examples of why MJ isn't more involved with the lockout. it's not really his place, for a variety of reasons.

Always great to hear from you, long distance! When you get back to Jersey, by all means, we need to get together with your father.

Someone brought up a good point about MJ's relationships with his Brand Jordan players – CP, Melo, DWade and on and on. Or maybe MJ is smart enough to realize that any owner who speaks up, aside from Cuban, is likely to be reviled.

You cover it all Brian. Awesome stuff and I have he same view. Nothing like it to see someone living their dream, and living your own dreams too.

Re: Attention benefit: The value of Mayweather’s ‘sucker punch’

SportsAngle — Sat, 01 Oct 2011 17:02:09 -0000

Great counterpoint. I agree with you that this fight does absolutely zero for his legacy. And though he still attracted a whole lot of attention -- which is what this version of Floyd thrives on -- he's going to have to figure something out soon because that will get old.

Interesting take on his comments to Merchant, I was basically just brushing those off.

Re: Attention benefit: The value of Mayweather’s ‘sucker punch’

Rodge — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 18:22:00 -0000

Good for business, maybe ... but not
good for his legacy. And that's not good, because the 'Money' we've
watched for years is driven by two things: paychecks and a clearly
defined legacy. We're talking about him because he sucker-punched
(albeit legally) some tin can named Ortiz, not because he is adding to a
long list of virtuoso performances. As you said, had it gone the
distance, it would have been another landslide decision in Floyd's favor
... which would mean next to nothing in terms of his legacy. (An aside:
My fear is that this and his tirade against Merchant are truly the
first real evidence of him going over the edge. Tyson bit an ear because
he realized he had nothing else to offer Holyfield; Floyd
sucker-punched Ortiz (partly) because he realized he had nothing to gain
from standing in there for 8 more rounds. His 16-month layoff tells me
he probably already knew that. Then being picked on a little by Merchant
after the fight, he flipped. How he manages his obvious frustrations
going forward will be interesting.)

The Floyd Mayweather Jr. we knew needs
to be done. Standing back and being a precision-punching defensive
specialist against unworthy contenders will yield him only 1/2 of what
he's been chasing his whole career: paychecks. Either he reinvents
himself as some sort of tactical knockout artist to fight the list of
nobodies that are out there, or he stops dodging Pacquiao. If he doesn't
reinvent himself, the latter will be the only time we ever see the
'Money' we've watched for years fight again, because it'll be both
paycheck generating and legacy-defining. Everything else will only serve
to feed 1/2 of what Mayweather himself claims as his driving forces,
and that would be a real shame. And, seemingly, even he is starting to
realize it.
