Thumbs down 1 AM? ESPN, you have got to be kidding

You would think that ESPN could show the final rounds on Sports Center rather than to wait until 1 AM. That's just crazy. All they have to show is 4 passes!

And we are being snubbed by a Baseball studio show? What the FU#K! I love baseball, but to NOT show the Final Rounds live so that we can hear two guys guess how many home runs the Mets are going to hit tonight is BULLSH!T...!!!

Yeah I don't get it either, I mean the baseball game doesnt even start for another hour, but I guess we need to hear all about how the teams went in spring season training. Putting it on Sports Center would be a good idea, but I don't think ESPN think as smart as you do Rich.

Ahhh drag racing is always going to take the back seat, even to such sports as umm rock, paper scissors, or hiking...

Not that I have ESPN or anything, but I can understand how you guys get ticked off. Hell I'm a Mets fan, but I don't need no pre show. How can you just cut a program...

Hey, at least at midnight, NHRA is going ahead of Poker! That's an improvement from last year.

I understand if NHRA only gets the time they pay for. But for ESPN to get cute and not accomidate the fans like this is beyond the pale. The least they could have done is planned to show the results during sports center and let the folks know to tune in at that time. But then but of course that might take time away from NASCAR.

ONE WAY OF THE OTHER THIS IS A BIG APRIL FOOLS JOKE. LIKE ANYONE WILL TUNE IN AT 1 AM.

Until the NHRA is smart enough to do a deal with a Network that WANTS drag racing, it will always be this way....I say they should go to Versus...That is a VERY aggressive network that has done a terrific job with the NHL this year, and they would welcome a property like the NHRA, and actually promote it, as well.....

Re: 1 AM? ESPN, you have got to be kidding

Uh, guys the finals won't start till after 5, after the baseball game starts.
Sportscenter is on ESPN, not the deuce.
The finals and the unshown portion of the semis will be 1 hour after the game
AND we're bumping NASCRAP Now!!!

This is all because of the rain, not ESPN2.
And this is the opening game of the season!

C'mon guys, at least they will be showing more: set your VCR/DVR!!!


You guys do remember the 75 min rule; should've known this was gonna happen when they went "live".

JMHO!!!
