GM's OFFICE: Scattered thoughts, three weeks in

I've got a funny relationship with "notes" or "brain flakes" types of articles. There's a long history of them in sports media, of course, from Mike Lupica's "Shooting from the Lip" to Peter King's "Things I Think I Think".

It took all of one submission for me (and the rest of campus) to realize that I'm neither as talented nor as funny as Bill Simmons. I quickly took the notes-style column out of my playbook.
