On Saturday mornings during the fall, while most of Harvard was still too hung over to even sit upright in bed, my buddy Chris Cullen '07 and I would embark on our weekly trek to watch sports at its very best. Somewhere buried beneath the sporting embarrassments of player-fan brawls, lockouts and steroids, we had found the blank slate of athletic competition - matchless in its purity, simplicity and fairness. We had discovered a league refreshingly void of players charged with felonies, DUIs and possession of marijuana. Grand jury testimony? Nonexistent. Recruiting scandals? Entirely unheard of. Steroid testing? Completely unnecessary. In an age of heightened tension between players and fans, we had stumbled upon a field where the fans not only supported the players, they truly loved them. As for the players, they loved the fans too, and from time to time they even openly displayed their affection and respect for those who cheered for them on the sidelines. The fact is they kind of had to...if they wanted a ride home.
