Dear Mr. McArthur,

You have absolutely NO CLASS!!

To make that kind of remark about the death of an athlete shows what 
little regard you have for the life of a human being.  The memory of Len 
Bias means far more than winning championships, unless the beholder is 
some gutless law school student like you, who has a propensity for 
rattling off meaningless statistics.  Stick to the mighty Detroit Tigers
and the Detroit Lions.  Now those are real winners huh?  And the 
University of Michigan, did the Fab Four ever bring home that NCAA title?
