    New Chuck Klosterman article on Kevin Garnett + the Celtics in NYT's Play this Sunday. I haven't read it but will:

    Also, articles by Pat Jordan and Jonathan Mahler (Ladies and Gentlemen, the Bronx is Burning). Mahler's is on the next generation of Steinbrenner's taking over the Yankees and is very good.

    Damn you, Chuck Klosterman -- DAAAAAAMN YOU TO HELL! I have just read the first section of your article and it went down as smooth as ice cream. It's so good, but those 600 words read like they just fell out of your fingertips onto the computer screen. How do you do it? How do you make it look so simple?? DAMN YOU!!

    And now Zeke's gotta slap a bitch?

    Klosterman's cool. I don't like all his stuff, but he's smart and witty. I can see how he isn't some folks cup of tea, but he's certainly worth reading.

    He's a waste of your time.

    And the people who prop him up as some new intellect for a new frontier are no different than the people who think they're treating themselves to real Italian at the Olive Garden.

    Bad haircut, too.
