We here at Um like to pride ourselves on our ability to make something out of nothing. Indeed, in these times of ever-increasing demand for content, we’d assume that this skill is a must-have for anyone interested in writing anything that could be described as timely and original.
But this? This is crap. And though we’re quite positive that our counterparts over at the NYT are engaged in not much more than an attempt to echo certain 2.0 trends, we’re still pretty sure that such efforts should not include the musings of Doug Glanville.
Like, yeah: Literacy and sports? These things should totally share a healthy relationship. But its development should probably not be hashed out in the editorial pages of what’s supposed to be the paragon of American print journalism.

Aww, don’t be so hard on Dougie. He’s a bright guy you know, engineering degree from Penn. Apparently also a big gamer, so is his former teammate (pre)bloody-sock-Schilling.
That was a little bit interesting, no?
