Talk about Thanksgiving blessings: The New York Times has gifted us with four - count'em FOUR -- pieces on women's basketball.

1) Michael Weinreb has a profile of Essence Carson
2) Frank Litsky writes about Renee Montgomery
3) Frank paragraphs "Teams to Watch"
4) Mr. Litsky also paragraphs some "Players to Watch"

I'm tempted to take credit for this veritable cornucopia of coverage but I shan't -- what with "pride goeth before the fall" and all that. I'd hate to think Sports Editor Tom Jolly was just toying with me.

But this is as good a day as any to remind women's basketball fans that if you want coverage of your team, you need to demand it. Kim has some hints on how here. And, while it's always fun to send off an outraged email, it never hurts to send one that says "Thank you" or "Well done."

For example, Frank's email is here and you can reach the Times' sports peeps at sports@nytimes.com.

Good wishes to you and yours on this day of thanks.
