Sparky (Adam),
You make some good points....I hadn't thought about that. Actually, I wouldn't know what a "sideout" is either (I only know that all games involving hitting, chasing or throwing balls are a lost cause for me).... I guess that may explain some of the reason why a lot of press isn't devoted to swimming in many places too....you would be less likely to write much about a sport you don't feel you understand very well...
