A day for mad letters...

Dear ESPN,

Thanks for completely ignoring the NHL. There are four teams vying for the last two playoff spots in the West and that doesn't merit one single highlight or score in last night's Sportscenter? I guess that's OK since we still have NHL Tonight... oh wait, you've cancelled that too? Nice to see that there's more horse racing, bass fishing, and X-games coverage on ESPN and ESPN2 than there is NHL coverage.

Dear Bud Selig,

I have a few issues with your steroid probe:

1. Why now? Did you suddenly wake up last week and realize that steroids was a problem? Was it not a problem when McGuire sat in front of Congress? Or when Canseco's book came out? Or when Rafy tested positive?

Its kinda funny how you finally (re)acted only after corporate sponsors pulled their support ($$$). I guess we shouldn't forget that you are an owner before you are a commissioner and you only act if it affects the bottom line....

2. Its toothless... Do you really think that you can get players to rat each other out without the power to subpeona people? Any evidence that you might get seems like it would be circumstancial at best.

3. How far are you willing to take this? Sure its easy to go after Bonds who has already been conviced in the court of public opinion. But what happens if you find out that a Cy Young winner took steroids? Or that Ripken took drugs to preserve his streak? Would you have the guts to put an asterisk next to those stats and awards?

What if you find out that owners not only knew about the steroid use but encouraged it? Would you have the guts to go after your fellow owners?

What bothers me most about this probe is that I don't trust you. I don't trust that you want the probe to be exhaustive and comprehensive. I don't trust that you will act impartially and effectively if the probe reveals more than expected. I think that you have a personal vendetta against Bonds and the "probe" is just to justify punishing Bonds. Prove me wrong, Bud...

What to watch...

New reality show on TV tonight:

8PM on BET - Lil' Kim: Countdown to Lockdown: The singer promotes her new album and greets fans as the date of her incarceration draws near.

Voice #1 in my head: What the...? How is that a reality show?
Voice #2 in my head: How'd the producers convince her that this was a good idea?
Voice #3 in my head: Bah, shut up and set the TiVo already...

Creative customer service...

I put in a order to CDBaby, an online store that specializes in small indy music. I've never laughed at a order confirmation email until today...

Your CD has been gently taken from our CD Baby shelves with
sterilized contamination-free gloves and placed onto a satin pillow.

A team of 50 employees inspected your CD and polished it to make sure
it was in the best possible condition before mailing.

Our packing specialist from Japan lit a candle and a hush fell over
the crowd as he put your CD into the finest gold-lined box that money
can buy.

We all had a wonderful celebration afterwards and the whole party
marched down the street to the post office where the entire town of
Portland waved 'Bon Voyage!' to your package, on its way to you, in
our private CD Baby jet on this day, Tuesday, March 14th.

I hope you had a wonderful time shopping at CD Baby.  We sure did.
Your picture is on our wall as 'Customer of the Year'.  We're all
exhausted but can't wait for you to come back to CDBABY.COM!!

Terry Tate, office linebacker, is still the best line of Superbowl ads ever...

Although the "theft deterrent" features of the new Sprint phones was pretty funny this year...

* Thanks for the reminder, eazy e... How many blades will be enough for a razor? Are we 6 months away from realizing that 6 blades are really the way to go? Why doesn't a company just release a razor with 10 blades and be light years ahead of the competition? Maybe the problem is that the television technology has not matured enough to display an adequate commercial for that product.

** Hey yee, you can check out the sprint tv ad here:
