John Kincade is the Sunday morning guy for ESPN Radio,and he works out of Atlanta for an ESPN affiliate.

> I have a decidedly low tolerance for bad broadcasting, but for the most part it doesn’t make me angry. Sometimes I even have fatal attraction for it - the ‘its so bad its good’ approach.  John Kincade is different though.  Nobody gets my blood boiling like this guy. He is the single greatest cause of road rage in my life. Some Sunday mornings I find myself driving around alone in the car and I invariably end up listening to the radio.  As a result I can pretty much vouch for myself as a Sunday morning radio expert.  And let me tell you, there isn’t much to listen to.  So before you know it I find myself listening to ESPN in slim hopes that they have changed the host, but alas to this point it hasn’t happened.  So I slip into my straight-jacket and listen to the ‘JK’ show.  From experience I can tell you it isn’t safe to drive in a straight-jacket, but it is safer than driving without one and listening to the ‘JK’ show. In fact one Sunday morning I was stopped by one of the city’s finest as I had been swerving all over the road careening off off light standards and mailboxes. Once the officer stopped me, he asked me if I had been drinking, and I assured him I hadn’t and that in fact it was the radio program I was listening to that was making me crazy.  Then before I could tell him which show it was he cut me off and said ‘ is it the JK show?’ When I nodded he just ordered me to turn off my radio and let me go.

> You may be asking what is it that bugs me so much about this guy? In short its the self-righteous pompiety. He talks in this low calm voice demanding objectivity like he is this sports sage.  Someone must have told him that it doesn’t matter how crazy what you say is as long as its in a low calm voice. Too, he tries to set himself apart from the rest of the media claiming basically he has the exclusive rites to objectivity, and opinion contrary to his makes you a ‘moron’, when in reality he is as objective as Kate Hudson is about A-Rod.

> So in short if you want to enjoy a little condescension, listen Sunday mornings on ESPN radio to the JK show.
