I've never really had the head to follow sports—I can never remember players' names, and my attention is constantly sidetracked by my obsession with rule paradoxes and loopholes. Aside from World Cup soccer and NCAA basketball, I'm useless. So it's not surprising that this story made me sit up and take notice of the NBA in a way I haven't since I was a bookish teenager trying to fake it: The league has overturned a game result for bad officiating for the first time since 1982. The Hawks and the Heat will now replay the last 51.9 seconds of a three-point game the next time they're scheduled to meet.
