I like you had a very successful season winning the sec championship winning the national semifinal game in overtime against Oklahoma but, you came up short by one play by Alabama a winning touchdown play in overtime that gave Alabama the national championship .the defense came up very short in overtime to give Alabama the victory overhaul it was a good run this year. I hope this is a start of something positive in the football program as far as competing in the sec title as well the national title. I like to say to Kirby Smart you...

This is an open letter, one extending my humblest apologies to University of Missouri head coach Barry Odom.
I apologize for not fully believing in you after your passionate speech following the home loss to Auburn. You believed that you were going to turn things around and start winning with this staff and this roster.
Fact of the matter is, getting this program back on track was a bigger task than most of us bought into. There was a lot of talent and experience that was lost from the back-to-back SEC East Championship teams. The last two recruiting classes under Coach Gary Pinkel (2014, 2015) have been underwhelming. These two classes combined featured only two recruits from Texas, both of whom were rated 2-star recruits. A pipeline that produced so many productive players for the...

Dear those who don’t know, 18∙Nov∙2017
I am a figure skater through and through, down to the bone. It hurts me and my fellow skaters to see you all with your noses in the air saying that figure skating isn’t a real sport. Isn’t hard. Isn’t painful. Doesn’t require money or time or effort. Is for little girls. Is to be used as a hobby. Should be used for birthday parties and dates and big group get togethers.
Now you will know. Now you will understand how mush skating takes out of you. And what the costs are: money, time, effort, and body.
Skating is one of the most expensive and dangerous sports of all time for a reason. It’s one of the ones where you damage your joints, bruises and abrasions...

An open letter to Bryan Bickell:
Mr. Bickell,
I do not know if this letter will ever make it to you and that is okay. For this letter will serve as a reminder to all that do read it that uncontrollable illness and hardship is not the fault of anyone, especially not the person suffering.
Hearing about your story during this past season was truly moving. To see a man that did so much for the Chicago Blackhawks and continuously brought joy to the lives of all who watched him play have to give up the game because of something uncontrollable was heartbreaking. However the most moving and unbearable moment of this whole situation came during your recognition at the NHL Expansion draft. I could not help but to hear you apologize to the audience and viewers. Hearing this flooded my mind...

If could reach Nicky Hayden or his family right now, I’d like to tell them a small story about 16-year-old me.
When I was 15 I knew nothing about Moto GP or Nicky Hayden. I was an annoying teenager trying to pass maths and look prettier. Then I was diagnosed with stage IV Hodgkin Lymphoma. The cancer had also eaten part of my D5 disk in such a way that the smallest pressure could break it completely and leave me in a wheelchair for life. We all know how devastating cancer is, we all know a story or two, and this one is obviously a happy one for I am writing this letter in perfect health.
As I said I knew nothing about motorbikes, I still don’t, but I had to spend an awful lot of time in bed because of my disk so I came across the start of the Moto GP Championship. They were...

Dear Wayne,
I am writing this letter really just to say a massive thank you for being an amazing servant to my football club and country over a number of years and to highlight my huge connection to your journey with us and let you know how much what you have done has meant to me.
To set the scene I was born into an avid Manchester United supporting family and if I was going to be interested in football there was no way I’d support anybody else. I’m told I “waved a flag” at the age of 2 during the 1999 thrilling Champions League final, though I can’t quite remember it unfortunately, but in 2004 aged 7 I began to be interested in football. After seeing United lift the 2003/4 FA Cup I was hooked and I suddenly became aware of football and started learning about it. That was the year...

Dear Mr. Sheppard:
Here at Samueli Academy, we have a collection of talents with the skill, but most of them lack the will. The will to show up to practice in preparation for upcoming games that will eventually determine if we qualify for CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) playoffs and give our school national recognition for sports, in particular, the Boys Varsity Soccer team. As the goalkeeper for the founding Boys Varsity Soccer team, I am here to provide a valuable insight on the team’s seasons so that we can replenish the team for next season and also serve as great advice for new generations of athletes who plan on forming part of the soccer team in the future.
To begin with, the team had to recreate itself after our first coach, Coach Beltran, decided to follow his...

Hey haters,
Ever since LeBron James started his career you have been saying that he is not the greatest player: he is a flopper, he has a bad play style, and boring player to watch. And you might think that I am making this up but according to an article called “Why some people still hate LeBron James” state's specific things that haters say like Mathew Kitchen not liking his bulldozing style of play. But I am here to tell you that you guys are wrong and i'm going to prove to you haters that he is currently the best player in the league.
It all started in high school, around the end of his sophomore year, when he received coverage that no other high school has ever received. His games were televised by ESPN and he was on the cover of Sports Illustrated which is really impressive for...

Dear Dean Spanos,
Congratulations. You've done it. You've done the impossible. You've beat out Eli Manning as the most hated man in San Diego. You know, the guy who refused to come play for the Chargers in San Diego? Yeah? You're worse. You didn't used to have the "most hated man in San Diego" title, but after moving the Chargers to Los Angeles without any notice, you've definitely earned it. After only addressing the fans through a short letter, you've most definitely earned it. I’m sure you already know why every human in the city of San Diego hates you, but if not, here’s why:
A letter. A measly five paragraph letter. 56 years. 56 years building a team, a community and a fan base in San Diego and you address the move to Los Angeles through a letter. You decided that you couldn’t even...
