Let me know if you have any questions

I don't do talk shows, but I do have a ? During the Penn R telecast, Dwight at least twice noted, regarding FSU athletes, words to the effect "they are getting ready for the ACC meet". Seems like someone in the broadcast "family" might have told Dwight. First time was funny, 2nd, irritating, I can't remember if there was a 3rd. The bottom line, I expect a lot of Dwight. He is one of the few commentators who can speak knowledgby about events other than his speciality.

Here's one. Ask him if he was a fan of the entire sport(not just the hj) as an athlete or did he just develop extensive knowledge about the other events when he became an analyst. I've always respected Dwight's work on t.v. Thanks,

He knew the sport top to bottom when I met him as a teenager in '73.

He's also a very good announcer--does some West Coast meets.

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!

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?

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

[KLocke]

I tuned in. That was really cool.

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.

[paulthefan]

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?

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.
