McSweeney's: Often annoying, far too precious, completely self-indulgent and typographically naïve. And yet....how can you fail to be charmed by John Frank Weaver's piece, "Ernest Hemingway Blogs About the Top Teams in College Basketball?" Though this reads, well, about like you'd expect, and there are many fine moments, including, Devin, this about your Blue Devils:
Coach K is a platoon captain. He
can lead men to war. Men would gladly die for him. They would run over
barbed wire. They would charge into a battery of machine guns. They
would limp toward a field of death on his word. In this game, they
shoot for him. They press for him. They pick and roll for him. But he
is a man torn. He coaches Duke. He coaches the U.S. team. A man can
only love one woman. A man can only love one team. Which team does
Coach K love?
It's like the guy was reading your mind...
