Curmudgeon

That's the word of the day... a crusty, ill-tempered, and usually old man.

I've always liked the not-too-overly-cranky commentators who leave you bobbing your head in agreement.

People like Woody Paige of the Denver Post, who is on ESPN's Around The Horn everyday. He's half-crazy, but he's usually always right, and is a great writer. www.denverpost.com

I'm also a fan of Mike Buchanan on WTOP radio in Washington DC. He's a former TV anchor and crime reporter, and has the kind of delivery that straddles blood-and-guts with crankiness and matter-of-factness. www.wtopradio.com and search "Buch Stops Here" for his podcasts... a good 45-seconds every day.


I also like Paul Harvey, the dean of radio newscasters. Just the right selection of stories, features, and anecdotes. www.paulharvey.com By no means is he is a curmudgeon, but knows his stuff.

Give them a read or a listen... after you listen to me, tonight. Buckle up.
