I think, in general, the sports I've enjoyed covering the most have been the offbeat ones. The more popular, mainstream, the less I like them because they're more, they're more structured and the players don't have much interesting to say because they're interviewed all the time.
Mitch Albom
Silence was his escape, but silence is rarely a refuge.
Mitch Albom
