Luke Winn of Sports Illustrated has a great profile of Harangody in this week's issue, and it starts like this:
The latest pastime of the Harangody brothers can be characterized as schadenfreude for the Digital Age: They entertain each other by exchanging links to YouTube videos, "usually," says Luke, "of someone getting hurt." The most recent, e-mailed from Ty, a junior at Indiana and the elder by 20 months to Luke, a sophomore power forward at Notre Dame, stars a TV correspondent at a mule race called Fór-Mula in rural Brazil. The newsman has foolishly chosen to report from a spot on the edge of the fenceless, dirt track; 18 seconds into the clip, his peppy Portuguese commentary is cut off when he's blindsided by a hard-charging mule making too tight a turn. "The guy just gets rocked," Luke says, smirking at the mere mention of it. "We tend to find that stuff hilarious."
So there you have it: Luke Harangody, the clear choice for Big East Player of the Year, likes to relax by watching people get run over by mules.
