Age Ain't Nothin' But a [Depressing] Number
Every time I go to a Celtics game, I scan the program to make sure that both teams have at least one player older than I am. It's a whistling-past-the-graveyard maneuver that lets me still kid myself that I may suddenly develop quickness and a consistent jump shot (though I do have a career shooting percentage of 1.000 on NBA floors) and make it in pro sports. All I can say is, thank god Theo Ratliff (4/17/73) is still on the roster.
So what to make of the fact that the Raiders hired a 31-year-old kid as their head coach? 31?!? Not that coaching the Raiders is anyone's idea of a sweet plum, but still.
Next installment: I'm baffled to learn I'm older than a U.S. Senator.
