One Smart Swede
The following article featuring former Cornell standout Douglas Murray appeared September 24 on the San Jose Sharks Web site.
Bragging rights are extremely important in the world of
professional sports. Hockey teammates would never try to show each
other up on the ice or talk down to anyone as a teammate. However,
once they are off the ice, ribbing a friend over who is the best at
anything is free game.
If you are the best fantasy football player, everyone knows about
it. If someone tries claiming the ping-pong title from Dan
Boyle or the unofficial badminton championship from Devin
Setoguchi, they had better be prepared to back it up. And then be
prepared for the reminders if they lose.
Well none of them have anything on Douglas Murray as The
Sporting News recently named him one of their 20 smartest athletes.
The category included mentions from the four major sports and
colleges as well and only one other hockey player made the
list.
