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.

Now, he (PP), can go back to being the police chief of Springfield.
You know, Springfield of Homer Simpson fame.

I'm just recovering from racing in Indy. I had the ESPN coverage on DVR and was going to delete until I read this post. Since Paully is not on I may sit back and watch. He is such a waste of time to watch.
