the excerpt:
"...Are there similarities between pro football players and the best Scrabble players?..." (asked because Fatsis wrote a book about Scrabble experts, and became one)
Somebody once told me that you look at anybody who does anything at an elite level and you’re going to find an obsessive misfit. And while we want to think that pro football players are cool and supremely self-confident and have the world dancing on their fingers, they’re like any other obsessive misfit.
Do you agree the top percentile of every endeavor is occupied by onbessive misfits (including athletics)?
