Examples of a close association between sports and city abound--Broadway Joe Namath uses his big-city playboy image to this day; Mickey Mantle, the Oklahoma kid who made it big on America's biggest stage came straight out of a Horatio Alger novel; Hideki Irabu's introduction to New York was Derek Jeter giving him a tour of the Chinatown club scene; and let us not forget the New York Knicks, the lovable bullies of the NBA--the civic myth of New York lives a charmed life within its sports scene...

(In 1993 she gave birth to a son fathered by another of McCartney's varsity players.) Meanwhile, his wife Lyndi drifted into depression as her children grew up and moved out and her husband remained on the road...
...cultivate a slavish dependence on their neatly parceled timetables-whether Vinyl metal spirals from the bargain bin at CVS or leather-bound volumes printed in acid-free ink and stored in the glass cases at Bob Slate's. Worshipped like prayer books and handled like the latest edition of Playboy to hit the men's locker room, complex planners are as common among students as red books in Mao's China...
