Probably nobody, but Intern Bill pointed out this Washington Post article that notes the Sports Illustrated/CBS college hoops maven squabbled with his Dad - a former Clinton White House aid - during the recent Democratic primary:

It was so tough that Lanny Davis, the participant who let me use his name, tried to change the mood. Davis, who was a Clinton White House aide and remains a fervent supporter of both Clintons, rose to say that the presidential contest had been painful in dividing Democratic families — alienating him from his Obama-supporting son, Seth Davis, the prominent college basketball reporter. Now, he said, they are together again.

Fantastic. This also brings us to a sports-related Obama quote that’s making the rounds today, and certainly worthy of discussion: “You can’t find a job, unless you are a really, really good basketball player — which most of you brothas are not. I know you think you are, but you’re not. You are overrated in your own mind. You will not play in the NBA. You are probably not that good a rapper. Maybe you are the next Lil’ Wayne, but probably not, in which case you need to stay in school.”...

1. Lanny admitted this last month

He's been a lot more of a good sport than some of the other Clinton money people since they lost.
