years listening
Somebody once told me that whatever you're listening to at 30 years old is going to be what you listen to for life and that's largely true.
sports thinking years
Steinberg occupies a position that is very dear to those of us who've held it over the years: sports columnist at The Post. If all he wants to do is be popular--and I think Dan is better than that--then the readers of The Washington Post sports section won't be very well served. Telling readers how great they are as sports fans was never one of my priorities. The only thing worse than people who can't stand to hear an unpopular or unflattering opinion is those that are too afraid to state one.

bright chicago david drafts forward move noah power spot team throw tim top tyson
He's really bright and sharp, like a Tim Duncan or a David Robinson. If a team like Chicago drafts him with the top pick, they could move Tyson Chandler back to the power forward spot and throw Noah at center.
scouts talking
He's the one all the scouts want to see right now. Everyone is talking about this guy.
sports men matter
There are always late bloomers [in sport], no matter size, although big men are more often late bloomers.
believe athlete winning
The thing about great athletes is that they all believe they can win the very next time.
summer memorial-day cities
There's no greater city between Memorial Day and Labor Day than Chicago. It's the single best summer city in America.
football song wine
Italy doesn't need American football. For what? I've been. Wine, women, song, shopping, unbelievable vistas and landscapes ... Do they need Titans vs. Panthers? Uh, no.
