I accepted an invitation to discuss “sports” on The Next Round with Scoop Jackson.

Why did I accept the offer, you ask, considering I know next-to-nothing about sports?

That is a question I may wrestle with until forever.

To their credit, they edited it well, and it almost (almost) sounds like I am saying sentences that make sense in the context of the questions being asked.

A special thank you to my brother-in-law, Joe, who provided me with some opinions that I could attempt to pass off as my own. And thanks also to Scoop and Adam for going easy on me.

I have almost never been this nervous on camera. At one point you can see me chewing — CHEWING — my lip.

Sigh.
