A lot of people don’t realize that attending a game as a member of the press can actually be a pretty dull experience. While everyone else in the stadium is going crazy, you’re supposed to be a level-headed recorder of facts. It can be torture. In college, my FCS school upset an FBS team on a Hail Mary and everyone in the press box just calmly took notes. All I could do was put my hands on my head and slowly stand up out of my seat when what I wanted to do was yell.
At least I didn’t do what Michael Wilbon did during the 1991 NBA Finals.
