Searching for the truth

The Sports Guy (see link at right) is hands down my favorite net-based columnist. And this tidbit from today's column is a prime example of why:

...the studio guys on every network needed to calm down last week. I know the upset victory gave everyone in New Orleans a tiny boost, and it was a beautiful thing, but that's all it was -- a tiny, temporary boost -- and yet some announcers made it seem like a huge victory for everyone back home. Not to be harsh, but do you really think there was a city worker dragging water-logged corpses into a truck who stopped for a second and said, 'Hey, did anyone catch a score of the Saints game?' It just seems like we overrate the impact of sports sometimes, and this was one of those times.

As usual, couldn't have said it better myself.
