Nash to be named NBA's MVP

I don't normally care very much about sports, but I posted an excerpt from a Toronto Star column about NBA superstar (and Canadian!) Steve Nash, who might have hurt his ability to earn big marketing bucks by speaking out against the Iraq war.

Well, Mr. Nash may well be named the NBA's most valuable player, according to ESPN.

Update: And he was! This CTV.ca story has video of an interview with him on Canada AM.

    “I don't normally care very much about sports”
    So you're saying “moderator man” of chats with Eric D. was a fraud!. I'm disgusted.

    Not only a fraud, but a charlatan to boot. :)
    There are exceptions: NHL hockey (back in the day), CFL football (Go Esks Go!), and international soccer tournaments (World Cup, Euro Cup).
    But I haven't watched a Jays game yet this year. I would sooner pepper-spray my own eyes than watch golf (although Woods' Masters-winning shot was cool). And if I can't watch the SuperBowl on a U.S. feed to catch the cool commercials, I can't be bothered.
    Some people love sports and immerse themselves in it. But to me, living the professional life of an (let's pull a job category out of a hat) online sports editor would be pitiful and limiting. :^)

    Don't worry i've come to accept the truth about this reality I've forged for myself (coming to much the same conclusion as you, coincidentally).
    but, you, unfortunately, know how this joint works. it ain't the real world, and I'm one of many minions trapped in their own tiny, inescapable boxes!!
