He doesn't. As I said, he could have easily been far more gracious. He's in town to announce a lacrosse game and 9/10 people in town don't even know what the sport is, so if someone walks up and says, "Hey, that was a great game today, huh?" you think maybe he'd stop and pleasantly chat for a minute. He didn't. That seems pretty weird. I didn't interrupt his dinner, ask for a photograph, ask for an autograph. Didn't ask him for a cigarette or $5.

I can contrast this encouter with the time I was biking through Georgetown's campus and happened to see Desko checking out the field before practice the day before a game. Walked up and said hello, introduced myself, talked about the upcoming season, told him I'd played against him the year before in the Dome. We talked lacrosse for a few minutes, I wished him well the next day and in the upcoming season, went on my way.

If a legendary coach is gracious enough to talk lacrosse with a stranger, it seems like an announcer who makes a living talking about lacrosse would have a minute to...talk lacrosse. That's it.
