Couldn't it also be that the marketing "gurus" and the like are pushing Mr. James into this television program? Let's face it, until NFL training camp starts up there's just not much excitement on ESPN this time of year.

EXCEPT! Except - did you guys see film from Chicago (I think it was Chicago - I saw it on WGN News) of the guy who fell out of the Upper Deck at a baseball stadium trying to catch a foul ball yesterday?

Fortunately the guy seems to have survived; but the shots of the players on the field who witnessed the whole thing... I was moved. These "prima donnas" were actually in tears and visibly shaken and upset over what had happened to this fan.

It was a sad and startling event - but my esteem for ball players was nudged up by witnessing their reactions.
