Dear ESPN

Please lose the reverential tone your announcers and broadcasters adopt when discussing Barry Bonds. While "innocent til proven guilty" is the law of the land, the preponderance of evidence seems to indicate that the man has, shall we say, artificially enhanced his natural-born ability to hit baseballs far and wide. Even though a reasonable doubt that he's done so could be dredged up if one were to grasp at straws, there's no need to perpetuate the idea that he magically became a home-run hitting machine at an age when most players' skills are diminishing rather than increasing.

Perhaps a little more objectivity is in order.

Yours faithfully in viewership,
Linkmeister

Far more articulate and eloquent than my angry rant on the same subject last night. Well said.

Ah, yours wasn't so bad. But thanks!
