Rob Kasper just made it into my good books.
The article begins:
Whether I watch in person or I'm sitting on the sofa, I am a fan of professional football and opera. This weekend I plan to enjoy a good dose of both. The Ravens are off, but the Cincinnati-Carolina and Washington-Indianapolis football games on TV could be worth watching. Meanwhile at the Lyric, home of the Baltimore Opera Company, I will be on hand as the Greeks take on the Turks in a performance of The Siege of Corinth. The early line favors the Turks.
I like this take on opera. For the record, I don't get the interest in football. Sorry, Rob. Now hockey - there's a sport I can watch!
