Dear Tracy Phillips...

Hi! How are you? I'm fine. You can call me the Captain. I was a big fan of the show "Sports Night," so I was interested to see the movie, "Charlie Wilson's War," since it was written by striking SAG writer Aaron Sorkin. The New York Times ran a news story about the movie before its release, and you were mentioned in it. This was when I learned that you were the granddaughter of Bum Phillips, the legendary football coach, and daughter of his notable son, Wade.



"Unbelievable!", I thought.

But it was true.

I also happen to be a Dallas Cowboys fan. Now, I must say that I was a little worried when he was hired last year. After all, he had been the coach of the Buffalo Bills during the Doug Flutie era. That is wrong on many levels. But the 'Boys record has assuaged my fears, and if anyone doubts his ability to produce results, all they have to do is look at you!

Anyway, I just thought I'd drop you a line. Deadspin says you read sports blogs, so hopefully you'll read this. Also, thanks for being my friend on MySpace. It really works out well that we both live in LA, both want the Cowboys to win, both have a vested interest in the success of "Charlie Wilson's War". I'm glad we've become friends! Good luck with everything, and I'll talk to you soon.

The Captain
