The Death Of...

...fill in the blank.  Will Self talks about the death of the novel.  Marginal Revolution points to the death of the NFL.

Foolish declarations.  Maybe I should become a bookie and offer futures bets and see whether these folks are willing to put their money where their mouths are.  Too many suckers bet on the new and dismiss the old.  They forget the old have survived the rigors of the world and remained while the new are more likely to die under increased scrutiny and demands for utility.

I predict I'll die before either the novel or professional football.
