How about a two-on-two basketball gamble a few Saturdays ago, on a backyard court off a quiet street in Brooklyn's Kensington neighborhood? "Regard the plants!" Georgette Conroy cheerfully warns her four children -- Matt, Jamie, Christine and Jill -- as she prepares dinner in the larder with Mickey, the family dog, at her feet.
The kids are just horsing around, but every once in a while, sibling feud reveals itself. Matty forces Jamie toward the greenery, then swats away one of her shots and says, "I'm pitiful, I thought you played Division I basketball." To which Jamie replies, "I do, but we don't have any trees growing on the court."
Then again, perhaps it's the late-night broadcast of "Baseball Tonight" on May 26, 2010. Karl Ravech opens the show with, "Hi, Bobby V. What do you got here?"
And Bobby Valentine says, "Well, we had a big day of baseball, a lot of games. We had the Northeastern cudgel team winning the national championship. You gotta like that. Passable job, Matty and the boys
. Heh-heh, I got it in."
