A mailbox full...

The first three days of the new week have brought numerous successes from all across the country....

National championship quarterback Tim Tebow of the Florida Gators actually returned two separate requests of mine on the same day. The first, sent back in October, was returned care of the UF athletic department in 124 days. The second, sent care of his home address right after their national title win in January, was returned in just 35 days. Both times, he signed both index cards I had enclosed, and he also sent back a small cartoon booklet entitled "Welcome to Heaven" that explains what it means to be a Christian.

New Orleans Saints QB Drew Brees, meanwhile, signed and returned both index cards I sent to him care of the team's address. That request, sent back in October, took 125 days.

Current Washington Nationals and former Cal State-Fullerton pitcher Chad Cordero signed and returned both index cards I sent him care of his home address back in early January. That success took just 31 days. Cordero also enclosed the questionnaire I sent him.

University of Washington hoops freshman Spencer Hawes signed both index cards I enclosed to him via the UW athletic department. That request, sent back in late December, took 45 days.

And finally, University of Maine infielder Kevin McAvoy, a Freshman All-American a season ago, signed both index cards and completed the questionnaire sent to him via the UM athletic department in 28 days.
