Fine...I'll be the one to thank ESPN

I think it's only fair for once to say thanks to ESPN2 for offering to re-air the usual Saturday qualifying show at 11am Eastern Sunday strictly because the original air time is scheduled for 2am Sunday.

Personally, I'm glad because I won't have to A.) beg the bartender to stay open past legal close time and B.) not have to watch it at said bar with the sound off and me 1/2 in the bag.

Considering all the b1tching (<----that real word was censored) that goes on when some live event runs 15 minutes over I think this decision deserves a big "THANKS!"

So....Thanks ESPN!

Re: Fine...I'll be the one to thank ESPN

since they have moved it to 11 am,why still run the show at 2 am?
and just what is on that it had to be put on so late??

golf
and College Basketball!!

so then why not move the drag racing to the regular
ESPN since there is nothing on there at 11pm except sports center?

Re: Fine...I'll be the one to thank ESPN

Wow, you guys watch stuff when it really comes on. I prefer Tivo, or the generic DVR, pull a couple of codes off the internet, or run it through a cheap program on the way to your computer and the commercials (which we've all memorized) suddenly disappear and you can watch the action on almost a non-stop basis. Particularly for Friday and Saturday action I like listening on the internet (I still say it is 100% ready for XM/Sirius) and Sunday I hold myself to the first two rounds that way then watch it on the Tube. If you DVR the stuff, you can start 30 or more minutes late and still finish when the show is over on a live basis . . . unless you are riveted to the commercials.

But thanks ESPN, if it's on in the background in my shop, I listen/watch then too.

What he said. God created Tivo to allow us to watch shows on our schedule and commercial-free!

And don't miss your drag racing!

I don't see what the hub-bub is all about..damn..I'm just glad we get tv at all!!

So I get to arise Sunday norming..drink my coffee..watch qualifying at 10..(midwest)..and then finals at 6..pfft..I don't see an issue.

But then beings I'm an old dude..I remember no coverage at all..so the whining about the time it's showed or anything else comes across as spoiled..but then of course that's just my opinion.

We might get some bonus coverage tonight with the rain in Fontana and no Nascar racing on ESPN2.
