An appreciation

I liked this bit of writing for an ESPN article about USC's loss:

Things move quickly now-a-days and everyone wants quick analysis. They also want that analysis to be sweeping and dramatic.

And, if said analysis is wrong, well, things move quickly now-a-days so there's new dramatic analysis to distract and sweep away that which is so five-minutes-ago.

So we have Washington beating USC, 16-13.

General conclusions thus far.

Washington is back!

USC is sunk!

The former seems more valid than the latter, but both hang on a small sample size.

Let's look at the two sides and how they emerged from Saturday's stunning game.

I wish all news writing was this smart and punchy.
