    Ridiculous extremes are the lifeblood of today's mediocre sports columnist.
     
  2. That's not really a guarantee, actually. I personally didn't give a damn about hearing about my birth and never bothered to ask my parents about it. Some kids will want to know, and some won't. But it's not smart to guess they won't, because you're playing with fire.

    The obvious answer is that these two should have fucked in February so there wouldn't be a conflict.

    Nor did I. Which is why I believe a good bit of this is soccer-parent hand-wringing.

    As was mentioned earlier, we're only a generation removed from it being the norm for fathers to remain in the waiting room.

    But now we're giving birth to a generation where it's the norm for mommy to post the 5,000-word "birth story" on her public blog within a week of the delivery. Where it's the norm not only for dads to be in the delivery room, and to take pictures, but to live-Tweet the delivery. And then take six weeks of paternity leave.

    I wish the U.S. had paid paternity leave, but the U.S. is backwards in so many ways with vacation and sick time.
