A Year's Worth Of Eli Saslow

WHY DO WE COMPETE?

For money: "By offering a chance at instant money and athletic glory, the Ultimate Game had created dozens of awkward unions between poor golfers who wanted to be rich and rich businessmen who wanted to be golfers."

For tradition: "He took a swig and handed back the flask. Then he lifted himself up over a wall and dropped back into the riot."

And for curiosity, ego, opportunity, community, adrenaline and identity. That's what Eli explores through eight great stories . Enjoy.

I don't know what this means, or if it means anything at all, but I've said this before and continue to believe it.

Eli Saslow is the best sportswriter in the country. Well, he was. Now that he's sitting at the big boy's table, I think he is the best newspaper writer in the country. (Yes, I know I just offended like six of my closest friends who are reading this. And, you know, those are the breaks. If you're on this board, you can write.)

Plus, dude can knock back a drink or seven.

Thanks for posting, Bill.

Eli Saslow is a good sports writer. He's an awful political writer.
