Updated throughout the day with quick takes from staff.
While at Soldier Field today, Jeff Pearlman took his attention away from the Cardinals' drubbing of the Bears long enough to lament a life of watching sports from the press box. In part:
As an up and comer, I longed for the press box. Now, I long to escape the press box. Just a miserable place to observe a sporting event, generally alongside unhappy people who spend 80 percent of their time checking e-mail, downloading porn, calling so and so to complain about so and so.
It's maudlin, maybe even laughably so, but I suppose we shouldn't judge unless we've been put in his position. Now it's my turn. Ahem.
"As an up-and-comer, I longed to write about sports on my computer. Now, I like writing about sports on my computer. Just a nice place to observe a sporting event, generally alongside swell folks who spend 80 percent of their time checking e-mail, downloading porn (?), calling so and so to complain about so and so."
I tried to complain, and I failed miserably. Sorry.
