Talk to Dwight on His Internet Show!

I took up HJ-ing seriously after watching Dwight and Wszola in Montreal...I decided I'd be in the 1980 Games (he's talking about how he started and has a similar story!). Thanks Dwight.

Dwight would love to hear from anyone who has a question or opinion. The toll-free call-in number is 1-866-472-5788.

Dwight is the best track and field commentator. He always has been. But to do a "talk show" tells me he must be a glutton for punishment! He is too sensitive for it. Wish him the best, but hope he has learned to suffer fools gladly.

From the first show (only one caller), I got the impression he's going to be pretty mellow and gracious on those counts. This will be a small and specialized audience ... I think it will be relatively low-key and high-quality.

Favorite Stones call: The 1991 Worlds Long Jump (and my biggest love are the distances).

Dwight's not necessarily looking for mellow or low-key--he welcomes calls on any subject. Don't forget the name of the show--"The Mouth That Soars".

Sorry for this late notice, but Dwight's guest today (5 minutes from now) is former world-class hurdler Mark Crear. Dwight encourages anyone with something to say to call him at the above number.

On the other hand, is there anybody who does distance races well that can even name all the field events?

Bingo - I'll stick with D-W-I-G-H-T

I would qualify that "best" with "American". I don't think Dwight is as good as some of the European announcers. He's not that good on the distance races, IMO.

some one please call in and ask him (and yes, I love him dearly too) if it will ever be possible for T&F commentators to treat the athletes competing in our national championships with at least 1/10th the respect that Network commentators afford NFL and NBA second stringers...... Ask him what has prevented this from happening?

Didn't you like my Canuckian one??!!

I don't know about MJD, but I thought it was a little over the top.

[tafnut]

Merchant of Venice at school, is it?

Haven't seen it or taught it in many years, but it just seemed so apropos today - kwik, getcher free kulcha right here! Didn't you like my Canuckian one??!! Can you tell we're in Final Exams now, and I have absolutely nothing to do today?

Tom Feuer

Didn't he win at least one contest here?

How like a fawning gh-yesman he looks! I hate him for he is an insider, But more for that in low simplicity he enters our contests and prevents us from ever winning here in Venice Beach, CA. If I can catch him once upon the hip, I will feed fat the ancient grudge I bear him. He hates us plebian posters, and he rails, even there where track fans most do congregate, on me, my picks and my well-thought-out guesses,
which he calls pathetic. Cursed be my threads, If I forgive him!
