While I’m not contractually banned from writing sports takes at NR, it would be a shame to get fired before starting my seventh year here. Instead, I’d like to tell you a little story.
According to Hans Christian Andersen, many years ago, the emperor of China had a magnificent palace and garden. But those who came to see it didn’t remark on the porcelain walls or incredible flowers. No, they marveled at a small brown bird, a nightingale, which was listened to with great delight by a poor fisherman and a little kitchen maid. When the emperor discovered this bird, he requested that it come and sing for him in his throne room — which the little bird did.
