Extended 30 Seconds - Jeff Cragg

I spoke with Jeff Cragg on Monday for a brief interview on no one topic in particular. Below is the version that was printed. The full minute or so of questions and answers is after the jump.

Pet peeve?

People who don’t know how to merge. 76 West. I feel like all Philly drivers don’t know how to merge. That drives me nuts.
