OK, it's not that dramatic. But over the weekend, Eddie Sefko did have an interview with Bob Delaney, author of "Covert: My Years Infiltrating The Mob." It sounds like quite a tale. Mr. Delaney is an NBA referee, so his appearance in the sports pages is perhaps not an actual sign of the apocalpyse. Nor does it mean I will have to start running basketball scores among the reviews. (Although it might be interesting to send a critic to write about a Mavs game in the style of your typical book review: Nowitzki's outside shot at the buzzer was a thing of natural beauty, something that would have been at home in the Romantic-era works of his countryman, Goethe, although it did follow a predictable arc with a conclusion that will not be satisfying to fans of the opposing team.) |
