Espn2

Maybe for not the best of reasons, but Thank You ESPN2 for the EXTRA half hour tonight... Paul had his act together, Mike only made one slip, John and Dave were great during a trying Day... but GG, I know the Production Truck is feeding them to you, But STOP asking "How Do You Feel"...

Re: Espn2

Yes, thanks ESPN!!!

Karl; I gotta disagree with ya about Paul & Mike. Maybe it WAS the stress of John's accident but...

I thought Paul sucked!!! Especially when he said that GA had locked up #1 in the chase, corrected him self (quickly I might add), and said that he locked up a spot, as DC had already locked up #1!!! Which is it you lock up?!?!?!

And Mike I have to question his calling out bad lights. He jumped AS's 87 in rd 2 but totally ignored CE's 105 in the semis!!! Especially after they had just mentioned that Peggy (GREAT JOB) & Chip both have S&S power!!!
He's always been on the money about being fair and calling it like it is but this one makes me wonder!!!

And while I'm ranting; simply amazing that TPed beat brother/TEAMATE CPed!!! Was I the only one who could see that a mile away?!?!?!


Stupid F___ing countdown!!! You don't have a playoff while the "season" is still going on!!!

Re: Espn2

Make me sick that the guy with the same first name as me said funny cars are supposed to break where Johns did.



Other then that THANK YOU to ESPN for the extra half hour.

Sorry Karl!!! Didn't mean to vent in your thread!

I was totally surprised that we did get all of the racing in one TV shot today. At 7, I figured they'd say that we'll show you the finals @ 3:00 am, one week from next Tuesday morning!!!
Definately very nice of ESPN!!!

Re: Espn2

I agree with Karl. I really appreciate the extra time. And, overall, I think the show was pretty good.

Re: Espn2

I too agree that the show was much better. They showed a lot restraint in reporting of John's accident. Nothing is perfect and ESPN showes how good a job what it can do when it want's too and that is probably a big part of the frustration....

But for now thank you for the extra time.

I'm pretty sure I heard Paul say it first, then Mike agreed with him, which was probably only to cover Pauls ass for him. As usual.
