    The most shocking aspect of the whole ordeal is use of the word "howdy."

    I thought it was going to be an NBA player's missive to David Stern, as told to Bryant Gumbel.

    Or not.
    Guess I wasn't the only one who was a little skeptical about this ...

    This is a commentary, and nothing close to a smoking gun, but I had a lot of doubts about the authenticity of this letter - for some of the same reasons - when I saw it a few days ago.
