Mike Dunn. Top notch,but... (1 Viewer)

[Percboy]

Mike Dunn is first-rate in my book , none finer in the booth.
I just have to say I wish Mike would stop using the term "irregardless" (logical absurdity).
Second time this year I`ve heard it. I have such high regard for Mike that I feel someone
who may not know how professional/knowledgeable Mike is may dismiss him as some
blundering commentator.

That's nothing.. Didn't Page say weirderer and weirderer ?

If that bothers you, you would go nuts if you listened to a NASCAR broadcast.

Is "boogity" a word?

Ugggghhhh.....personally 'irregardless' is HIGH on my list of 'words that don't exist, so don't say them'. He might as well have said 'suposably'.

yeah I agree words that don't or shouldn't exist just should not be used, kinda like countdown

Yeah I was biting my tongue trying not to mention the obvious mangling of the English language by our
buddies over at NASCAR.
And as for PP, you`re doing better. Just don`t be so demonstrative when something "trivial" on the
track happens.

It's straight out of the Don King dictionary! LOL

Mike is awesome and does a great job,I would still like to see him back in competition.

 

[Nitrohaulic]

Yeah, he definitely needs to do more better.

 

[Brian]

As much as I'd love to see Mike back behind the wheel, it only takes one episode of Classic Drag Racing to pray he stays put. Handing Force a resume on Race Day was beautiful.

I believe Paul Page's highlight was, "Curiouser and curiouser." I'm not sure if he's getting betterer and betterer.

If memory serves, "Curiouser and curiouser" is actually a borrowed phrase from a famous literary work... Alice In Wonderland, perhaps.

Ok.. I knew it was something stupid like that.

Agreed! Didn't Paul translate the elapsed time to miles per hour..."he ran four hundred fifty six..."? Granted...I've made a few mistakes at every event I've announced, but 10 straight hours of ad-lib in one day is different than a pre-recorded show on national tv.

Here at our radio station, we record most of our voice work in advance. We do that so that we may go back and re-record those tracks...eliminating mistakes. Someone should tell Paul that he can go back and correct his mistakes...it's ok!

I like Mike Dunn, Irregardless of some words he might say!

That's classic..LOL

I didn't did it!!

I always think of Mike as drag racing's version of Phil Simms. He adds insight that comes from both driving and working on cars and is able to deliver his comments in a manner that enhances the broadcasts. As much as I'd like to see him back driving, I'd hate to think what would become of the broadcasts if he left.

Anyone else notice Kevin Poynter say "bottom line" when interviewed on the line ? Wonder where he picked that up ??

Mark.

Mikes the best, Dunn deal.

I can't wait 'till he says persnickety.
