Jon Marthaler offers up The Commenter Talker Of the Day (TCTOD) based on the news that ESPN.com is creating "The Heat Index." What is that, exactly? ESPN.com will launch The Heat Index, a special section devoted specifically to daily, season-long coverage of the Miami Heat and their new superstar core of LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, on Monday, October 11. The Heat Index will be housed under the ESPN.com NBA section and will include in-depth editorial coverage (columns and blogs), video, audio, automated modules, social media elements, photo galleries and other multimedia offerings.

There will be two regular beat writers, including Brian Windhorst, formerly of the Cleveland Plain-Dealer.

Questions, via Marth:

1) Who does this make you hate more, the Heat, or ESPN?
2) Given that Pedro Gomez had to follow Barry Bonds around for about eleven years, couldn't ESPN at least throw him a bone and let him hang out in Miami for a year?
3) Will fans of the Cleveland Plain Dealer burn their Brian Windhorst jerseys?
4) Seriously, two beat writers?
