A collective double-take from New York area fans as the Times actually does a feature on a Liberty player, Christelle N'Garsanet (thanks, Stever)

While I reserve the right to remain snarky about the Times' use of AP copy to cover Liberty home games (Lena Williams: Please un-retire. At least for the summer. Please?), I do believe in saying thank you when any media outlet actually DOES cover the W. Might I encourage readers -- local and national -- to do the same? sports@nytimes.com is where you can reach the lovely people at the Sports Desk.

on edit: PSYCH!! As some posters over at rebkell have noted, the Times piece doesn't actually appear in the PRINTED version of the paper. Guess it didn't pass the "All the news that's fit to print" litmus test.

Want some hints on what to say those fearless followers of sports? Check out the fabulous womensbasketballonline.com site for a handy-dandy primer. While there, you can check out site guru Kim Callahan's new contribution to coverage: Beyond the Hardwood, Q&A's with players. Latest victim... I mean volunteer? Janel "could she be this year's Most Improved Player?" Burse.
