A Recommendation

On-line or by hard copy, go straight to the New York Times and read the NEWS story on the relationship of Long Island high school football rivals Cold Spring Harbor and Roosevelt.

Without including any spoilers, I'll just make the following comment on the piece. No one who covers sports for a living escapes the question of whether or not they're wasting their time on insignificant nonsense. If you don't ask it of yourself, other people sure will.

The Times' story is a splendid answer to that pesky inquiry. Sports is a satisfying and worthwhile field to cover because every so often, you run into a stories like this.
