Traveling Man

I've been on the road in Bucketland visiting my sister, the Buckets, at Northworstern. Sorry for the delinquence. In the interim, consider this, an email I received on Thursday. I don't really know what this dude's talking about aside from the fact that I am NOT discriminating against Spero Dedes because he's Greek; I discriminate against him because he stinks. Or as the Buckets says, "It's not that you're discriminating, you just don't like him." Enjoy:

Dear Joey (think that's what your name is according to your profile):

We just came across your website with some friends here at work... And couldn't help but send you a quick note on your bashing of my fellow Greek -- Spiro Dedes.

First off, let me say that I've lived in both LA (9 years, and NYC, the last 4 years). Not sure what you mean when you talked about how LA needs a different sound, as opposed to the "NY Marv Albert" school of broadcasting, as you basically put it.

Secondly, me any my co-workers here have agreed that you sound like a dude who tried to get into the broadcasting business, and failed miserably... And is now taking it out on a young buck who's made serious strides in broadcasting -- in the No. 1 market in the U.S.

You shouldn't hate like that. Not healthy.

Interesting how someone so "bad" (in your opinion) has worked for almost every TV network there is -- at the age of 25!

Can you explain that one for me?

You should lay off our the Greek.

P.S. - I especially liked the part where you said Spiro makes tons of mistakes... And then, on another blog praised Kenny & Charles in the TNT studio!!! Those two morons mutilate the English language, and the rest of us have to listen to their garbage 'cuz they could ball?

You're a total hypocrite.

Show me some balls and post this on your blog.

WTF?
