Every pro sport gets better in the playoffs. The intensity may jump most in the NBA, where defense morphs from optional to mandatory.

For 10 days — with comebacks, tape-measure home runs, leg-breaking slides, bench-clearing feuds, smart unorthodox managing…

Sports video clips are now ubiquitous on social media. Can the NFL put the … – Washington Post
Something strange happened this week, just as sports fans settled down to watch playoff baseball and “Monday Night Football,” firing up their second screens for replays, snark and analysis. The Twitter accounts for two popular sports sites were suddenly deactivated, rendering unavailable two high-profile sources for quick video replays of licensed network broadcasts of games.

Sport – the idiot bystander at a global crisis – The Guardian
Everybody knows, of course, that sports reporters know nothing. Actually, that’s unfair. Sports reporters do know a bit about sport. Although whether this is a good thing to know about is probably open for debate.
