Trust everyone over 30, says Max J. Dickstein. Note: over 30.

Hee Hee. Mr. Dickstein, who turned 30 yesterday, actually seems reluctant to join our wonderful club. His real statement, the 30th in a list of 30 that ran in today's amNewYork, was: Never trust anyone over 30. Note: over 30. We'll cure him of that thought.

In the meantime, here is 30% of his list: 30 beliefs for 30 years
1. Have some respect for teams you hate. Despising does no one any good.
3. With nine pro teams, New York should never be said to have a title drought.
6. Any sport can be interesting if you rechannel your ignorance as curiosity.
8. College prepares you for fond college memories.
10. No professional athlete “sucks.”
13. You should be able to beat someone at a parlor game (e.g., Ping-Pong, pool).
20. LeBron James is not coming to New York.
22. It is more than OK to wear a jacket, tie and fedora in the press box.
23. There are no women’s sports. Just sports.
24. I am now older than most athletes I interview.
Max J. Dickstein is amNewYork’s sports editor.

We have the pdf of the whole story but sometimes that doesn't work out so well.
