Summary: This week continues last weeks conversation about popular attention on sports/music and how art forms diverge and others take over. We learn all sorts of great things about how crappy football is: its in danger of flaming out because its a cheap re-re-re-re-packaging of a genuine article (i.e. honest sports), its construction is totally unsustainable because its just cut-up zazz with filler zazz, and dont look now but that guys ankle is broken. Interestingly enough, baseball has somehow both diverted into the province of the analyst nerd fan and passed into permanent relevance as timeless leisure. All this talk of timelessness reminds us--football forever sucks!
