The Amateurs: The Story of Four Young Men and Their Quest for an Olympic Gold by David Halberstam

In what will lead to the ultimate downfall of the 2007-2008 New England Patriots, ESPN has begun airing a useless series where Bill Parcells compares the Pats to great team from the NFL days of yore. If you will take a trip with me in the way-back machine to the halycon days of late 2005, you will recall that the Worldwide Leader in Sports aired a series comparing the USC team led by Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, and LenDale White to the ghosts of college football past.

There was only one tiny problem with such a programming strategy. ESPN devoted more time towards enshrining the Trojans among the all-time greats than they did breaking down the matchup between USC and the 'Horns, which, as I clairvoyantly predicted in the above-linked post, ended poorly for Leinart, Bush, White & Co.

ESPN, please continue allowing the Tuna to extol the virtues of the '07 Pats. It will make their ultimate downfall all the more enjoyable.
