Frank Deford Legacy Should be Recognised by ESPN


PS. Too bad #FrankDeford wasn't part of the @espn-industrial complex. He'd be feted all day today & the kids would be exposed to his writing

RIP Frank Deford

RIP #FrankDeford. Discovered him thru his tennis writing before I realized what a giant he was in the sports-media complex. Brilliant man.

I knew that things would get tougher in Toronto. Gutty 21-point win for #LeBron (i.e. #Cavs) over #Raptors. Series is getting closer right?
