Why 15-Love? “Love” is a corruption of the French “l’oeuf,” “the egg,” as in “the big goose egg.”

Over at the Books & Culture online magazine, Jason Byassee of the Christian Century – and a Duke PhD – lists some of the best lines from Will Blythe’s To Hate Like This Is to Be Happy Forever: A Thoroughly Obsessive, Intermittently Uplifting, and Occasionally Unbiased Account of the Duke-North Carolina Basketball Rivalry (HarperCollins, 2006):

Some reviewers of Michael Lewis’s The Blind Side have complained about the “paternalism” of the Tuohy family who brought Michael Oher into their orbit.

Michael Lewis, The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game. New York: W. W. Norton, 2006. Hardback, 299 pp. $24.95.
Over the past two decades, professional football has evolved so that the outcome of games often turns on the performance of one of the least-noticed and least-glamorous men on the field, the left offensive tackle.
During the 1980s, Bill Walsh of the San Francisco 49ers transformed the NFL passing game from a high-risk venture into a precision machine. Quarterback Joe Montana’s stock went through the roof, and as other coaches borrowed from Walsh, quarterbacks throughout the league became more important, and more expensive, than ever before.
