sidenote -- have you ever read the David Foster Wallace essay "How Tracy Austin Broke My Heart" about sports writing? I found it in his last essay collection, Consider the Lobster. Anyway, it wasn't just a good summary of why sports writing sucks, it's actually one of the more interesting insights I've seen into the psychology of athletes. Ever since I read it, I've (1) been wary of any and all writing by athletes and (2) thought about it all the time when I think about sports.
You should check it if you haven't.
