I missed it this morning, but "It's Only a Game" took on both Imus and the Duke rape case, with a swipe at Guantanamo. Generally speaking I'm not a huge sports fan, but one thing I do like about sports reporting and commentary is that there is a strong streak of cutting through the bullshit to get directly to the point. Normally this doesn't break out of the confines of game mechanics, but when it does the sports guys can be a real breath of fresh air. I don't know why this is-- maybe because they normally discuss things that everyone knows don't really matter in the grand scheme of things, so there's no culture of pussyfooting around.
