New York Times Spills Beans, Allows Cat to Escape from Bag
I love me the NYT.
But if they're going to put breaking athletic news that's scheduled to air later in the evening as the main item on nytimes.com, they should put spoiler warnings up so you can steer away at the last minute. And because I don't want to spoil it for you, I'll refrain from telling you what the NYT just told poor, unwitting me about what's going to happen in the world of Olympic sport tonight. But suffice to say, it's pretty big news (for Olympic-loving Americans), and I was looking forward to being surprised when I watched Vancouver's goings-on tonight - only to have my anticipatory excitement shattered.
In all fairness to the NYT, I'm sure all sorts of media outlets are doing the same thing. I just happen to hold the NYT to a particular (unrealistic) standard.
I guess this means I'm getting all news second-hand for the next week or so ("Hey sweetie, can you tell me if I can read the paper?").
So what was it? Couldn’t have been the USA upset of Canada in hockey. I haven’t really been following very closely, so I don’t know which surprise you were talking about, but whatever it is, it’s no secret now!
