One of the first sports blogs of any note, THE WIZZNUTZZ made life pretty happenin' in the pre-Deadspin landscape; an era when where most sportswriting that made it to the front of a dot com page had to be wrung through the edited wringer a hundred times before even seeing the light of day. Every one of their updates is breathlessly awaited, and yesterday's post is a good reason why.

We'll let the mind behind the site start it off:

"So a few weeks ago Free Darko dug up a awesome personal letter from then-Prez Bill Clinton to then-Fab-Fiver Chris Webber offering encouragement after CWebbs magical timeout cost them the championship game."

WIZZNUTZZ then manages to unearth a series of letters sent by then-President Richard M. Nixon to then-Bullet guard Kevin Loughery (pictured coaching the Miami Heat, above).

The link is here.

The warning is here: our 37^th President wasn't the most tolerant of sorts, he's on record (well, tape, really) of being pretty nasty toward certain religious groups, races, puppies, etc. This is a bit of fun, the letters don't exist, and it's a joke. Treat it as such.
