Dear ESPN P.S.

NASCAR is not a sport. Please remove it from your reporting. I realize that statement may permanently ban me from the state of Alabama, or at least North Carolina, but I never have nor never will understand the athletic ability required to drive a car around in a circle. I've driven further distances by myself, without a pit crew telling me when to stop. Does that make me an athlete?

P.P.S. While we're at it, poker and pool aren't sports either. Please remove those from your line-up as well.

Dear ESPN

Please stop referring to Glen "Big Baby" Davis by no more than his stupid nickname. Yes, he had a young face in college, but let's face it: he could eat you for a pre-dinner snack and keep on going. No other NBA players are referred to by only a nickname. Why must Big Baby suffer alone?

Also, the phrase "Score Update" implies a team has actually SCORED. Having runners on base with 2 outs awards no points and thus does not count as a score. I appreciate you not interrupting the program for such an earth-shattering event, but I tend to watch the ticker more anyway. Don't tease me.

Sincerely,
Me
