Around SBN: The Gift Of The 2003 Tigers

It's an excerpt from his latest book, Eating the Dinosaur. And it's pretty freaking awesome.

Anything by Klosterman is pretty freaking awesome

I want to read it, but am waiting to get it in hardcover form. Same with the Bill Simmons basketball excerpts. Damn you ESPN for teasing me this way!

Damnit

Now I’m going to have to read the one about ABBA.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.

he might want to edit one line
as an assistant at the University of Kentucky, he found ways to turn an ungifted quarterback (Tim Couch) into a Heisman candidate who passed for 8,400 yards and was drafted first overall by the Cleveland Browns.

Tim Couch was the #1 QB recruit in the nation coming out of HS; hardly what anyone would charitably call “ungifted”.

The closing couln't be closer to true

“I don’t know what I see when I watch football. It must be something insane, because I should not enjoy it as much as I do. I must be seeing something so personal and so universal that understanding this question would tell me everything I need to know about who I am, and maybe I don’t want that to happen. But perhaps it’s simply this: Football allows the intellectual part of my brain to evolve, but it allows the emotional part to remain unchanged. It has a liberal cerebellum and a reactionary heart. And this is all I want from everything, all the time, always.”

Wow, deep.
