Dear NPR,
Just so you know, I'll be turning off my radio when Frank Deford comes on in the future. I've gotten so tired of his acidulous, sarcastic, pompous, whiny, hate-tinged diatribes that I'd really rather listen to the sound of my engine and the wheels on the road than his commentaries.
I realize that sport is a field you don't want to ignore. I'm actually interested in some stories from the world of sport. I find John Feinstein quite entertaining, even when he's covering sports I'm not interested in. But, you know, that may be because he's intelligent, humourous, and doesn't talk down to or insult his audience, things that Deford does on a regular basis.
So as long as you're featuring Mr Deford, I'll be enjoying some quiet on my morning drive.
