Hi, 

  I haven't had time to read my email since before Christmas, so I'm just 
reading emails like the following today:

  It may seem like a stupid question but a lot of people are wondering 
about it, so even though no one on the Knicks would dare say they're better 
without Ewing, I think a lot of reporters would ask that question, and most 
of them would be men. 

  Dan, I think your comments on the Celtics were on the money, but to 
imply that women aren't able to understand sports at this level sounds 
sexist to me.  If it really was Cheryl Miller then I'm sure she understands 
basketball, since she was probably the best women basketball player of her 
time, she now coaches one of the professional women's teams, and her little 
brother Reggie who could never beat her on the court growing up is now an
all-star in the NBA. 

  I don't know if she's any good as a commentator, but I'm glad to see 
someone's giving her a chance.
