Pretty much what I was going to say...

I find the absolutely amusing that everybody posting here says that he sucks,whatever,then they say who cares,most say they don't even watch because there's no sportsman coverage.What's the difference who's announcing.Could be a one eyed Romanian sex serial killer with whooping cough for all I care.Haven't watched a show since last year.

I was also suprised to be able to watch 5 hours and not get annoyed by all the "**** chat" that Paul usually does. ESPN, please put Dave and Mike on all the time! Or, just bring back Marty!

I sent espn an email asking them to offer Reiff the job full time.

Ed, I'm going to start watching it now since they have that new Romanian sex addict(I'm probably dyslectic) should be interesting to watch " hey Mac, have you seen that great set of high beams in the third row!" I'm sure the Neilsen rating will be up for NHRA today.

I find it hard to believe you guys actually watch that crap. Your cars must be way fast and not need any attention to waste your shop time on that crap.

Troops:

Anybody who watched the recent NHRA-TV broadcast on ESPN saw much more than a drag race. The co-anchor chair beside Mike Dunn was filled with a knowledgeable, glad-to-be-there articulate guy named Dave Reiff! As a sometimes contributor and reader of what's posted here I have often noted your comments as to the current host's short-comings. Many of you have listened to and watched Dave very well handle NHRA Sportsman drag race broadcasts. But for 5 hours on Monday, he SOARED!

How would you like to have a role in keeping Dave Reiff in that chair - where he belongs? It means you're gonna have to physically write a letter as ESPN trashes repetitive emails as spam. Yes, it's a PITA but that's what's required to make this welcome change permanent.

Here's the guy and here's his address:

Shawn Murphy, VP
ESPN Regional Television
ESPN Television, ESPN Plaza
Bristol, CT 06010


You DO have a chance to make a positive difference in how we experience TV broadcasts of NHRA events. Don't complain if you're not willing to participate.

Please do this. We'll all benefit from a much more pleasant Sunday (or whenever you play it back). Thank you.

Jon Lundberg

BTW ... I have never met nor shook hands with Dave Reiff. He's just that much better.
