Imaginary Stage Part 2

It's been a while since Imaginary Stage Part 1, but whenever you see Part 1, there has to be a sequel. Well, that's not necessarily true, but hey, in this case, there is a second part. It's a little different though. This time, instead of being in a press conference, I'm opening my imaginary mail. We've seen people like Stuart Scott, Bill Simmons and others do it, but their mail is real. Hey, if mine was, I'd actually read that too. If I don't read your letter, it's because it doesn't actually exist.

Letter One:
Nate, who's your NBA MVP Pick?
Response: Well that was a short letter. As we all know, the names of three guards are being thrown around for this years NBA MVP and not one of them is named Nash. Kobe Bryant, Lebron James or Dwayne Wade will likely take home new hardware that doesn't include the finals. Their teams are nothing without them and might as well be named after them. Imagine watching the L.A. Bryants vs. Cleveland Lebrons in the finals. Alright, that's lame, but you get the idea.
Bryant won it last year but his team fell to a tough Celtic team that also beat Lebron's Cavs earlier. Wade has on finals ring already.If you're saying I'm stalling to answer the question, you're absolutely right. I think Lebron deserves it since the Cavs have the best record so that's the direction I'll go.
Letter two:
Hague Sports (since I don't know your real name), Where do you see Chad Ocho Cinco and Plaxico Burress playing next year?
Reply: First of all, I refuse to call him that. If you want to call him Chad Eight Five that's fine, but I won't give him what he wants. I think one of them will end up in Philly but wouldn't be surprised if Marvin Harrison goes there himself. He's a Syracuse boy who resides in the in the City of Brotherly Love and would be a decent fit. I think Burress will end up in the AFC, maybe with Baltimore or Oakland. How fitting would that be?
Letter Three: Dear Nathan, you have been accepted for a new credit card....
Reply: Crap, how do you think it makes me feel that even my junk mail is fake? OK, that's about all I get.
Letter four: Who's your early season pick for the World Series?
Reply: I can't help but like the Rays. They came out of nowhere and went on that crazy run. I say they'll take it over the Manny and the Dodgers.
Letter five: Your thoughts on this year's NFL schedule?
Reply: I just scanned through it. I know the NFC East is playing the AFC West so that should be interesting.
Letter six: Hey man, you saw the new Cowboys Stadium. What did you think?
Reply: I think it's pretty big. The screen is actually bigger than my dad's so it should be pretty cool. Well that about does it for me. I've done about all the reading I can handle. It's pretty close to dinner time again.
