This is something like the third or fourth straight night during which Knicks phenom Jeremy Lin has been featured on the 10 PM newscast I watch. He seems like a nice fellow who has been managing all the attention with aplomb. On the other hand, the attention has been overwhelmingly positive. At some point it will turn negative: that's the ugly reality of who we are.
Assuming Lin is the nice fellow he seems to be (remember, Tiger Woods seemed like a nice fellow, too), I hope he has the fortitude to cope with the backlash as well as he has handled the adulation.
