Matthew Fox had a hangover the morning after we met. Which made me feel a whole lot better. Hanging out with Fox, you see, can make you feel insecure in your masculinity.

He flashed a wide range of basketball skills, blocking the first Brown field-goal attempt of the game before showcasing his shooting range by nailing a three-pointer. He later scored two conventional three-point plays, one via an emphatic two-handed dunk, and added a jump shot, another block, and four rebounds in helping the Crimson build...
