Things I'd Like to See on Back Seat Drivers

1. More baseball. It's great that it's now football season, but September is the month of pennant races - and this is a particularly exciting year. Let's not forget our national pastime!

2. Balanced media bashing. Maybe it's because ESPN is so much a leader in sports programming - but the focus on what ESPN does wrong is both obfuscating what the network does right as well as ignoring the commentary (good and bad) elsewhere in sports media. We love to hammer ESPN for all sorts of stuff - but it's obvious that we're all still watching, so there must be some good left. Do you really hate the network that much? Well, turn it off, and then call Frank Deford and see if he'll dust off those old National Sports Daily printing presses.

3. The elimination of 24, Mr. Nonymous, Laz, and Josh Pho Minh as official Contributors. They don't contribute anything! If there are less of us, that'll make the title of Contributor that much more prestigious.

4. Mikey going an entire post without misspelling a common word.

Enjoy the weekend!
