My thoughts on what's going on in the wide world of sports. Going beyond black-and-white analysis and into the shades of grey.
n 1: obsolete terms for legal insanitySeems to me that following sports as obsessively as I do can cause all of these definitions, sometimes simultaneously.
[syn: lunacy, madness, insaneness]
2: an acute viral disease of the
nervous system of warm-blooded animals
(usually transmitted by the bite of a
rabid animal); rabies is fatal if the
virus reaches the brain [syn:rabies,
hydrophobia, lyssa, madness]
3: a feeling of intense anger; "hell
hath no fury like a woman scorned";
"his face turned red with rage"
[syn: fury,rage, madness]
4: the quality of being rash and
foolish; "trying to drive through
a blizzard is the height of folly";
"adjusting to an insane society is
total foolishness" [syn: folly,
foolishness, craziness, madness]
5: unrestrained excitement or
enthusiasm; "poetry is a sort of
divine madness" [syn: madness,
rabidity, rabidness]

Tremendous and terrific in the same sentence. Were you referencing Pierre McGuire since the article was in a CTV-Globe Media publication?

Hey, I liked the article, so I thought a little hyperbole was justified. I could do a McGuire impression, but I've got too much hair and I don't act creepy around junior-age hockey players...
