Mike,

I've decided to return to B/R on a limited basis, and have written an article about the Miami Heat's bitter disappointment in this year's postseason. It's my initial foray back into sports writing after a fairly long hiatus, so I would hope you would give it a read.

I look forward to reading and commenting on some of your work as well. I hope you're doing well, my friend.

Sincerely,

Daniel Barber aka Hotnuke

Mike,

I thought you'd like this piece. You'll probably find it a bit hilarious, as I dip into an alternate vernacular and start writing as if I was "kickin' it with a homie."

Hope you like it. If you have time to read it let me know what you think.

Hey Mike:

Dwyane Wade has ripped up the stat sheet in recent games. Should he be this year's MVP?

Hey Mike, please take some time to check out my new Heat article.

Will the O'Neal trade help the Heat keep Wade in the future? Tell me what you think here.

mike,

is this a new rivalry, or rekindling of an old one? either way, it's becoming compelling:
