CAN YOU BELIEVE HOW FRICKING RUDE ESPN is?
HOw about not being so choppy.
Who the HECK is running this station that they could NOT wait another 30 minutes.
This is so BLOODY ANNOYING. I do not give a rats rear end about baseball...HELLO, are they going to do this MID RACE, too????
Hard to tell all these "anons" who said what you know?
:(
karen and others...sorry for my outburst but honestly...I thought i would just check some things online (we have an old computer SUDDENLY turning itself on and we have to unplug it) thought I would relax with HAPPY HOUR...saw them working on waltrips car..and then WHIZ, BANG, BOOM, with no warning, they go to baseball.
A bunch of uncouth slobs running this ESPN outfit.
Can you guys BELIEVE NASCAR ALLOWS THIS DRECK.
kind of kills the mood...sigh
happy hour is back on espn2. did anyone see how they made the switch? did they just drop back in mid-sentence or did they find a good spot to restart the broadcast from?
Dropped back in mid-sentence.
I watched everything today, just so happy to see David Reutimann win. So sad there wasn't a live interview, I saw it later on nascar.com.
As for ESPN, I give up on them. Just have to wait till February to see good telecasts of Cup Races when FOX comes back.
Until then, the Trucks are the only races that are broadcasted well. :(

Well, you heard wrong.
"25 cautions... 25."
"I don't believe what they did to Steven."
"Nah that was baloney man."
Then they're saying something else about Steven starting with "He didn't...", but they stop and go to David getting out of his car in VL. The new version posted above this one is 30 seconds shorter and cuts all of that off.
On second listening, it may be Randy who said "I don't believe what they did to Steven.", with Rusty's reply of "Nah that was baloney, man."
I think clearly that is Randy saying the "I don't believe..." line. Rusty reapons with "Nah, that was baloney." Randy says "He didn't even hit teh guy."
I feel like I am disscting the Zapruder film. I still hate Crusty.
Do you guys think he was more respectful to Randy bacause he is a driver and that's all Rusty repsects? If you ever listened to Rusty on the scanner when he was driving, he didn't seem to have much respect for crew chiefs etc.
ESPN did a dis-service to David R and his sponsors, they could have sent his winning interview to another channel like they did for the pre-race because of the football game. Aarons has been a big supporter of Nascar, thanks to Nascar.com for having the interview of David. Otherwise coverage was ok for me. Jayski also did not have alot of news of his win either, now that its owned by ESPN, is no one allowed to say anything bad about the coverage?
ESPN will have to cut to football ASAP with a very minimal post race.
You mean, "ESPN will choose to cut to football."
How much do you get paid by ESPN to be their rep on this board, Erik?
On a serious note, re-scheduling Happy Hour is a good sign. It shows that the folks back in Bristol (Connecticut) understand that Happy Hour means more to the serious fan than just something to fill an hour of airtime while we happen to be at the track.
You were saying...?
This whole Happy Hour interruption is baffling.
If I care about the World series, I am watching it. So don't interrupt what I do want to see to show me something I'd be wtahcing if I wanted to see it.
And no one is going to just pop over to the channel carrying MASCAR's Happy Hour hoping they might have some World Series news there, either.
ESPN's theory is, apparently, if you like one sport, you must like them all.
Bzzt. Wrong.
"And no one is going to just pop over to the channel carrying MASCAR's Happy Hour hoping they might have some World Series news there, either."
That's what I didn't get. I didn't watch happy hour or tape it, but I checked during the Busch race that Baseball Tonight was scheduled to come on at midnight. Reading here, they broke into HH around 1 AM to air BT.
So did ESPN (airing SportsCenter) and ESPN NEWS direct viewers to Baseball Tonight? I know FOX wouldn't do that, and I'm not sure the Sportscenter people would want any of their viewers to leave. I guess they were indeed counting on people to be flipping around to find BT after the game. Maybe they were, I know I flip around after the Cup races trying (and failing) to find coverage. Strange situation.
I watched the race via tape, well almost, stopped taping at 7pm and guess what the race ran over 7pm so missed the end. I taped the end the of the replay and got hunting. Thank goodness for Nascar.com and the posters who sent me to video control room this morning got the GWC I missed and the Reut interview too. I think the overall booth coverage was pretty good, esp with all those cautions. They still need to work on the missed restarts and I was getting tired of the Carl Edwards show. They lost alot of positives when they couldn't even stay to interview David that's just wrong, or at least guarentee it would be on some ESPN news show with the time of the show. I would have actually watched it. I'm impressed with Marty and would be happy to see him again. The resets were helpful but just the top five would like to see them go futher back.
Now lets talk about Happy Hour, was so upset that I had missed David's first win couldn't sleep and dropping out as they did was ridiculous. This was a taped event you mean to tell me that they could not have timed it better and wait a few seconds.

I stand corrected...and baffled...
Luckily, I added an extra 1/2 hr to my TiVo recording, so I got to see it all.
