"There's a constant chess match between the middles of which way they're going to hit--wrist-away or cross-body. Players are always getting more information about where the set is, split-second information about the approach angle of the hitters, and factoring into that the history. David Lee taking that all into account, making an amazing blocking move."
--NBC "indoor" volleyball analyist Kevin Barnett
And who cares? They aren't even hawt wimmen wearing little pieces of fabric over their naughty parts.
ReplyDeleteIt's all nauseating hype and drool. I can't stand it.
Was that the block where Lee was pulling his arms down ('cause he jumped too early?) and the ball careened of his arms or noggin or something? 'Cause I think I saw Fischer do something similar to Spassky in 1972.
ReplyDeleteOkay, vollyball players, as football coaches, are playing chess. I doubt it. But, then that statement about contesting the middle, even though it is applicable in chess strategy, could be a statement regarding American politics as Obama runs right, and McCain shifts left. It's not really about vollyball.
ReplyDeleteWe know this much: Obama really has played chess and that Bush almost certainly prefers checkers.
