I know you are sticking up for your track and your guy and I totally get it and can appreciate it. But I think you are taking the overall message of the column the wrong way. You have one of the biggest names in the sport writing about Tampa and how much he likes it. He thinks it's a great product and offered up his opinion on how it could be improved.

Grunder could be the greatest guy in the world, but how hard is it to pronounce deny and awe correctly? There is no charm in butchering the English language, especially from someone who's job it is to talk.

Instead of looking at the fact that someone is actually writing about your track, you want to shoot the messenger. I don't really get it.
