I watch way too much C-SPAN.

I don't want to have to say, Honey, you know, could you turn off the sports channel because I'm not a big sports fan, and I don't love the television being on just for the sake of turning on. I'd like turning on for some thing specific.

There may not be much future for the kind of sports column I did.

In the morning, I reach for the sports page.

If I have the TV on, it's either a Mets game or 'SportsCenter.'

I'm not a sportswriter.

I don't watch too much TV when it comes to sports or news or things like that.

I tweet myself and do all the Facebook updates. It started off with me wondering whether I was showing off and I was very careful about what I wrote.

I don't know much about sports.

There are many benefits to a sports entity breaking news directly to their recipients: the entity has full control over the message and how it is shared versus previously relying on a media outlets to translate or distribute as they choose. Also, there's no quicker place for valuable information to spread than Twitter.
