Exhibit A: An e-mail pops into my box a couple of weeks ago. Don't take this the wrong way, the guy says, but chicks should leave guys alone with their sports. "Guys I know use sports as an escape from the outside world," he writes. "Women have their escapes, and very few men wish to join in those activities (makeup, clothes, shopping). Let us have our escape, as long as it isn't criminal."
Exhibit B: I'm standing in front of a TV in a bar outside of Chicago. It's the first round of the NBA playoffs. A guy to my left speaks up. "Who you rooting for?"
I shrug. "Nuggets, I guess. I like Andre Miller. And I don't like Sam Cassell."
"No one likes Sam Cassell."
"True," I laugh. "Who won the early game?"
"Bucks. Michael Redd scored 40."
"Wow. The first round's been pretty good this year. Usually it sucks."
