Traffic

I was traveling on business yesterday. So tell me why is it that every driver decides to slam on their brakes at the mere sight of a road work sign? Within a fraction of a second, even perfectly competent drivers become a mere shell of their former selves.

It's the equivalent of a pressure shot in the NBA, a 2-minute drive in the NFL, a walk-off hit in MLB or pulling the goalie in the NHL.

Some folks are Big Papi, Jordan, or Brady.

But most ''pull a Nowitzki.''
