Dear ESPN

Dear ESPN,

First of all, it's nice to see that you have expanded your baseball coverage beyond the Yankees and Red Sox and reached the realm of the Tampa Rays. It only took them getting to the World Series for you to notice them. So does that mean the Royals are next?

Thanks for taking out the "Touch 'Em All" segment from "Baseball Tonight" and replacing it with "That's not Filthy, That's Nasty." I would say there is no reason that you can't keep both segments, but that would require you to cut out on John Kruk's screen time, and nobody wants that, right?

And it's a good thing that this year the "Baseball Tonight" crew is keeping score on Web Gems. I am sure you guys will figure out a way for a player from the Red Sox or the Yankees to win the whole thing in the end.

OH, and thanks for your constant, round-the-clock coverage of Mathew Stafford and Tim Tebow. It's a good thing you give me a daily update on how good Tebow is. As an Alabama fan, and a college football fan overall, I had no idea. Also, it's nice to know that you have nothing better for good ole Kirk Herbstriet to do during the off-season than stick a microphone in Stafford's face and talk about his NFL prospects.

Speaking of college football coverage, I love your Mike Leech, Texas Tech analysis. Now that Crabtree and Herrel are gone, how will a powerhouse football program such as Texas Tech ever recover? And on the same subject, I am so grateful for your detailed and constant updates on one of the most successful and deserving coaches in college football, Charlie Wiess. I mean, there is a lot to gloat about there with the fantastic season Notre Dame had last year. I mean, come on ESPN, why do you have such a hard-on for Weiss and the Fighting Irish? What the hell has he done lately that even resembles strong leadership and integrity. Besides, we all know that the crutches and the fashion-forward, Boca Raton style Hawaiian shirt at the Aloha Bowl were just part of a massive publicity stunt planned by your fantastic network. I am begging you ... TAKE CHARLIE WIESS' FAT, DOPEY FACE OFF MY SCREEN FOR 24 HOURS!!!!

It's a good thing that when discussing college football, you give 95% percent of the coverage to one of the following programs: Florida Gators, Ohio State, S. Cal, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, Notre Dame and Michigan. It's not like there are ANY other programs out there that actually matter. Forget the teams that are going to make a huge impact on college football next year. Never mind that Colt McCoy is returning to Texas for one more year, or are your heads so far up Sam Bradford's ass that you can't see Texas being relevant? Forget that Paul Johnson has started a new era in Georgia Tech football. Forget that Saban took Bama to an undefeated regular season after only winning half of their games the year before. Never mind that while you guys are drinking scotch and smoking cigars with Urban 'Look What I Can Do' Meyer, Houston Nutt is about to take over the SEC. That actually started last year, but you guys were way too busy kissing Tebow's ass to notice. And that's just the tip of the 'irrelevant information' iceberg that you guys didn't cover.

And to answer the burning questions that you ask EVERY DAMN DAY on "College Football Live" ... NO, Michigan will NOT BE GOOD next year! Stafford WILL be picked in the FIRST ROUND and NO, Charlie Wiess does not have a future at Notre Dame or in college football.

And on a more sensitive note. Good job on your coverage of Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart's tragic death. You gave the story a sensitive feel when posting on ESPN.com the day after his death this poll question: Which team will be the most hurt by their pitching? Choice A: The Angels Now that ESPN, is what I call class!

Oh, one last thing. Please tell Herbstriet that he looked great on camera last week. And don't forget to tell him to meet Kayla at 'The spot' at 5 pm Saturday. He knows what it means.

Sincerely,
The girl who loves you and hates you all with a big smile on her face!
