Chronicle Coverage
Four years ago, I visited the John Hay Library at Brown University and got to see a selection from its rare books collection. Of the many incredible works I saw that day, the item that facsinated me most was a page from the original manuscript of George Orwell’s classic, 1984. And of the original words Orwell wrote on the page (double-spaced), I think a grand total of seven were not crossed out in red ink. It was at that moment when I realized how brutal and torturous the writing process can be.
It’s in this spirit that I thought I would share with you a ridiculous first draft of my column that ran in The Chronicle this morning. I am not trying to compare myself with Orwelll or my angry rant to 1984, but I thought it would be interesting to share the beginning of a draft that could have been a column. So without further ado, a legitimately crazy excuse for an opinion piece (please don’t try to have me committed):

On some days, sports have the ability to make the real world seem, well, less real. On other days, sports and the real world become so entangled that it’s impossible to differentiate one from the other.
