500 words or less

Has she found a publisher for this book yet? The best writers do more with less. Not critiquing the content; admirable. Such a soliloquy makes it about the storyteller. Yanks.

Why would it be necessary to condense Coach Summitt's impact to less?

Just read it earlier today after seeing it make the internet rounds. Maybe Geno isn't as bad as I thought...nah, he somehow had a classy daughter by accident.

All joking aside, it was an unbelievable piece and a true tribute. The best rivalries in sports are sometimes the ones with nuances of respect behind all the hatred.

Mama Auriemma did a good job of raising her daughter--fortunately, Geno was gone a lot.

One could say a lot of things about Geno, and now that includes the fact that he raised a great kid.
