If I Ruled Sports

Or rather, If Frank Deford Ruled Sports. This is a spot from NPR, with a tag line saying - “Our sports commentator allows himself to imagine a world where he is the “benevolent despot” of sports: lower ticket prices, no sports talk radio, and a few other things.” Basically, Dad, you better write your book (don’t steal my title, “Blah blah blah blah blah” - I can’t even write it here for fear of someone stealing it) soon, because Frank Deford has apparently stolen some of your very own ideas.

Give your entry a category, please. Re: stolen ideas: lots of ideas do not belong to one person. I’m working on an essay about this. If you got some examples, let me know, or post them here.
