So what was all this about then?

In case you thought that the drama was over in Michigan high school sports when the Supreme Court decided not to do whatever it was supposed to do, think again.

People aren't happy, and newspapers are running articles. Apparently no one other than volleyball cared if the season was switched with girls' basketball.

So now here come the awkward, forced analogies:

"High school volleyball teams in Michigan next fall are going to be like the younger sister when big sister moves away from home. They're going to have their own room. In this case, their own gymnasium."

Well crafted. Or how about his from the Detroit Free Press:

"Come next fall, I'll have nine kids playing in college," Grenier said. "You tell me if my kids are missing out on opportunities."
That is best left for Galles and CFE officials to answer. But I think they are too busy giving hair advice to Sanjaya to keep him on "American Idol."

The Sanjaya reference! What kind of lame writer would resort to that worn, out, um...bit? Oh. We would.

There are even dips into the sublime:

Remember, this is a legal system that lets O.J. Simpson spend his days golfing.

Yes! There it is! One of the many signs that a discussion has hit rock bottom is when the central issue or figure is compared to a) Hitler and the Nazis, b) the OJ Simpson ruling, or c) the acid-washed jeans fad. Congratulations to Hugh Bernreuter of The Saginaw News!
