On the occasion of the NBA Finals, I thought I would copy and paste a letter I wrote to ABC Sports about two years ago. I had forgotten about it but recently found it saved while I was doing some spring cleaning (summer-style). Maybe you'll identify with my sentiments.

To Whom It May Concern:

As someone who immensely enjoys televised sports, especially the polished product that is the ABC/ESPN trademark, I must write to make my lone complaint. Please discontinue using Jim Gray as a commentator/interviewer. His personality is annoying and his questions lack tact. When Mr. Gray approaches provocative topics, he tends to seem more adversarial than inquisitive, which I guess wouldn’t be so bad if he was more likable. Unfortunately, he’s not. Not that you would, but please do not forward this letter to Mr. Gray. I have no desire to insult him to his face. I simply would like you to know how to make this consumer, and many others as I’ve discovered through conversation, happier with your sports coverage.

Thank you for your time and consideration.

In other news, it was great to have Ryan and Adam visit me in the studio last Friday, especially since they brought along Brent and Erica, married friends of theirs currently living in Frisco (a suburb of Dallas methinks). It was great to hang out with them. That very night we all ventured to the Vanguard Theatre (a glorified warehouse) to see Of Montreal. Too bad the cavernous venue swallowed up the sound, but for someone who loves Of Montreal, I still had a great time. Two of my musical worlds collided when they covered "Alright" by Supergrass during their encore. Ryan and I just about lost it.

Enjoy the show (which is inexplicably divided into three parts). Part 1 is the theme song and an aborted Tripping Daisy tune, so you may want to avoid that particular download.
