" 'Thinking man's football' is a bit like 'classy stripper': if the adjective modifies the noun too energetically, it undermines the nature of the thing."
Even if you're not much into football, the article "Coach Leach Goes Deep, Very Deep" by Michael Lewis on Mike Leach and his unorthodox coaching of Texas Tech is a fascinating read. Under Leach, the mid-level Raiders have had some outstanding runs the past few years, and their success this year has earned them a place in the Cotton Bowl against Alabama. It's a lenghty article, but it's well-written and certainly worth the time. Head over to NY Times online.
