...push the wheel in or pull it to my chest. What's more, the sub has two steering wheels. A sailor to my left moved horizontal planes at the back of the boat that could cause it to dive or ascend. My wheel controlled the stern rudder and the horizontal fins at the sail (the sub's giant hump near its front). Experienced drivers knew how to work together. I didn...
...heard Howard Stern comment once, "I don't feel like a grown-up. Do you? I'm 48, and my kids seem to think I know something special." Not that Howard Stern is the end-all be-all of mature adults. Still, he definitely qualifies as an adult, if by nothing other than age. When I was eight, much like Howard Stern's kids, I thought that 20-year-olds were really experienced, knowledgeable, grown-up people. Forty-year-olds were ancient.

I find it odd that a dad whose kids are listening to Eminem upstairs reads about Allen Iverson in the papers and says he's not going to watch anymore. He should be taking away those Eminem...
Make no mistake, with the NBA's TV ratings off 7%, Stern is concerned with image. He met on Friday with a group of players, owners and union officials to "restate the historic partnership of the NBA and traditional values," as he put it. "I believe civility and manners are not going out of style." (He hasn't been in the lane lately.) He also says there's no thinking that, in this X age, the league should go totally street and court a new generation of paying customers. "Not on my watch...
