...reward is that Coach K's lovefest with his players is never put in jeopardy. "How good was it for me to spend 148 games with Shane Battier?" asks Krzyzewski, referring to the 2000-01 season's consensus college player of the year. "Literally, over a thousand locker-room settings. How much is that worth, to be with that kid for four years? Or to be with Wojciechowski or Laettner or Hill or Hurley or..." he trails off. He's not crying, at least...

But that's part of a conspiracy among her and her male colleagues on a range of behavior - particularly Kennedy's - that our profession once considered private. When a drunken Wilbur Mills pulled Mom from dinner to see stripper...
...athlete, at least a smart one, does not say publicly, "I'm gonna kill him." Such a statement, circled in red Magic Marker and tacked to a locker-room bulletin board, can be as inspirational as a Gipper speech. So this year's Olympians will murmur only the mildest bromides. But some of them, in this Grudge Report, will quietly nurse their enmity to find a focus for their few moments in the quadrennial sun. The old Olympic rule applies: Get mad; get even...
