The last words of last week's commentary were, "This could be a long a one." It wasn't. The Hockey Strike is over, and it was a short one, ten days. Did the Sure-Footed Northern Rink Rat succumb to the call of the Stanley Cup? Or did the owners cave in under the economic pressures of the moment? Who blinked first, the players or the owners?

Are you feeling like you have been run over by a truck on the road to the Final Four? Does the road to the Final Four go through your living room? Are you beginning to think that Billy Packer is robosportscaster? Do you have any idea why Curry Kirkpatrick is on the sidelines, or Mike Francesa is in the studio? Do you care? Well, as Dick Vitale says, "It's time to take a T.O. baby."

Mark your calendar Orlando, June 17 to July 17, 1994, because those are the dates for the World Cup, and the big big news in Orlando this week was the announcement out of New York that the City Beautiful will play host to at least four first-round games in this premier international sporting event. Congratulations to the city, and thank you to Joanie Schirm and her committee, World Cup Orlando/ Kissimmee/St.Cloud who worked so hard to make this a reality.

Late February and early March on the sport's scene is a time between, and a time of anticipation. This is especially true if you live in the cold climates, where by this time of year cabin fever has set in, the Super Bowl is over, and the sports in season are biding their time.

Thorstein Veblen Explains The Super Bowl, Richard C. Crepeau
On Sport and Society
The Harvard Economist John Kenneth Galbraith once observed that the rich are among the least understood social groups in America. Unlike the poor who are studied intensely, constantly surveyed by social workers and graduate students, the rich have gone largely uncharted. The only real exception to this is to be found in the works of Thorstein Veblen, the Norwegian American economist from Minnesota, who wrote several books on the social habits of the rich, the best known being The Theory of the Leisure Class.

Last weekend was one of those wonderful sports weekends when quality, quantity and variety were available to the sports fan in Orlando. Within less than three days I had the good fortune to see the 1992 U.S. Figure Skating Championships, an excellent and competitive college basketball game on the UCF campus, and the NFL conference championships on television. It was a reminder to me that for all the nonsense and crassness on the contemporary sport scene, sport itself still is the thing.

There really is something drastically different about California, the left coast, la-la land. I spent last week out in lotus land and was treated to the spectacle of an annular eclipse and people all agog over the possibilities for human improvement that such cosmic forces might bring.
