For me, at least, the reason why politics has partially substituted for sports is that the media, old and new, now generate so much information of a statistical nature that the part of my mind that lusts after figures -- aside from the ones attached to certain women, that is -- is sated. It may seem silly that I'm compulsively checking the numbers from North Dakota, of all places, but if so, it's a silliness that parallels by quest to figure out who, besides Barry Bonds, has ruled the OPS category over the past decade.
