The following is an email I sent to Gene Wojciechowski of ESPN about a mistake in one of his articles. I do not have the liberty to publish the name of the fellow journalist to whom I forwarded the email who called it "the funniest email of all time," but it is journalist-approved. The first two paragraphs are excerpts from the article which I included to show exactly what I was emailing him for. My response follows shortly thereafter.

Of course it matters. This is Hank Aaron we're talking about here, enduring proof that greatness can be discovered within consistency, Hank Aaron, class act, a hero in this and future generations, transcendent of the vicious scorn that compromised his time. This is Hank Aaron, baseball's all-time home run king, a living legend. This is his mark, what he earned. That is the symbol of a bygone era, what could have existed that never came to pass, what should have been but never was.
It's an idea, a fantasy, for those who wouldn't quit dreaming. (1141 words in story) Full Story By Trevor, Section NBA

So I finish up my weekly podcasts yesterday and I'm settling in to watch a little Wright State versus Butler. Because there was a berth into the NCAA Tournament at stake, I decided to honor the moment with a Yuengling. The conversation in my head where I convinced myself that this game was worth drinking for is a different story for a better time. I boot up my e-mail and in it I find this gem from my friend LeAndre..... (961 words in story) Full Story By Trevor, Section NBA
by Trevor Freeman It is a league that is desperate to get back the prestige it had in the 1980s and early 1990s. Not only has it fallen behind its "super" cousin but it must be "maddening" to watch its younger brother be the version more preferred. In a series of articles last year, we dissected the NBA Draft and wondered aloud why NBA General Managers consistently avoided the common sense approach of drafting the best collegiate players available. That a basketball version of Billy Beane could walk into the league right now and be the new Red Auerbach. Today, we take a look at the words of some of the journalists covering the game and more importantly their bias against last season's college superstar, Adam Morrison, and their tendency to push the first overall pick, Andrea Bargnani.

By Rob LaBrie A flash comes across the screen, "Breaking News!" it reads in immortal ESPN text. It's midnight and you just realize you've been dozing off on the couch. You see the screen and you decide it's worth wiping the drool off the side of your face and sitting up to see what the news is before hitting the sack. Naturally, John Clayton pops up on the screen. "I've just received big news out of Green Bay. It seems Brett Favre may have played his last game in the NFL. Sources close to Favre say the legendary quarterback is leaning toward retirement. Of course, this is not set in stone, but we are one step closer to seeing Favre hang it up [pushes glasses up higher on his nose and sniffles]." You put your pants back on to hear this? Well, at least it must mean pitchers and catchers will be reporting pretty soon... (1 comment, 908 words in story) Full Story By Vin, Section NFL
As a service for the Sportscolumn community, I went to the 11:30 AM showing of Invincible today. Who am I kidding, if I wasn't going to write a review for SC, I'd have seen the 2:30 showing anyway. As an Eagles fan, I am obligated to see the movie. What's the population of the Delaware Valley? 6 million people? Multiply by $9... Invincible is guaranteed to bring in at least $50M just from the Philly area alone. (2 comments, 1155 words in story) Full Story By wtt02005, Section Other Sports
Before my religious viewing of Fox's Sunday night programming, I flipped the channel to watch the ESPY awards. In days of yore, it would be a no-brainer whether or not to watch the show. I watched Kobe effortlessly climb up the Laker ladder of history, and I watched Vince Young single-handedly run his team to victory. Reliving those moments is simply a Youtube search away. However, being a college kid, I left home and had something of a long distance relationship with the boob tube (too much homework). As a result, I made a vehement effort to catch the sports highlights I missed this year while not sacrificing an extravagant amount of Simpsons, Family Guy, and (dare I say it) American Dad content.
