I get sick of tracking it down, if you miss the 5PM show, cause something else is more important at the scheduled 12AM time. I'd rather catch up with SPEED on Fri-Sun. The only other comment is KEEP Shannon off pit road and out of the drivers faces and in the studio. She's much better there. Her interviews with driver's were just terrible and you had to feel sorry for her and us cringing :-(JTBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14594970496059427575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-23582783226443688822009-03-11T20:08:00.000-04:002009-03-11T20:08:00.000-04:00Richard,Many of us only have ESPN and ESPN2.

I just think that it is another way that espn thinks nascar plays second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, yada, yada, yada, fiddle in the wide world of sports.<BR/><BR/>And nascar exectives in daytona think this is good?

That's why in judging contests, they always want experts. Sure if you have a stop watch, there is no "judgement" needed, but otherwise, can you imagine a bunch of fans judging Olympic diving, ice skating, X-games, etc? <BR/><BR/>My local university has all kinds of competitions, from livestock, to music, to art work. ALL ARE JUDGED BY EXPETRS. It's not my opinion is better than yours, or a popularity contest.

Mike and Mike are cancelled for tennis in Europe or Australia, and this week with basketball and World Baseball Classic, ESPN has cancelled some Mike and Mike, Jim Rome, Around the Horn, and PTI. Next week is the same. They will have NN but will cancel Jim Rome some days. <BR/><BR/>It's hard to complain with cancellation of NN, when the network is willing to cancel shows that are probably more popular.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-74489666360662453962009-03-11T08:48:00.000-04:002009-03-11T08:48:00.000-04:00I like this show alot this year, but I'm not chasi...I like this show alot this year, but I'm not chasing it all around the clock in order to tape it.
