Some of the "stiffness" was the lag time between him and Bristol some might have been the tie, suit, and dress shoes :)<BR/>I wasn't looking for any surprises either and I was really glad to see they included Marc Davis. I guess my only question is why now but since Kyle and JGR is winning everything in sight..why not.Newracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324764517098771035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-413333665003044592008-08-14T19:05:00.000-04:002008-08-14T19:05:00.000-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-49956098722541378092008-08-14T17:42:00.000-04:002008-08-14T17:42:00.000-04:00I did get the impression that Marty was not as rel...I did get the impression that Marty was not as relaxed as usual at the beginning, which I thought might have been due to his reading the intro off a teleprompter, and not being used to doing so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-15989207295923787902008-08-14T15:58:00.000-04:002008-08-14T15:58:00.000-04:00He wasn't uncomfortable, it was just his quirky st...He wasn't uncomfortable, it was just his quirky style that people are mis-reading.

Maybe they could go to Stewart-Haas Racing and follow one of Tony's new cars from start to finish. This would include how they paint and letter the cars. ESPN has a chance to do what no other tv report has done. If ESPN doesn't maybe the SPEED channel can.Ind14https://www.blogger.com/profile/09943837144375401769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-4700924094018467302008-08-14T09:41:00.000-04:002008-08-14T09:41:00.000-04:00For you Sophia:I just noticed, that in the column ...For you Sophia:<BR/><BR/>I just noticed, that in the column photo, Stewart, ever the maverick, is the only one wearing jeans. :)Lisa Hoganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15816899271672467136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-16153145665342988112008-08-14T09:34:00.000-04:002008-08-14T09:34:00.000-04:00I agree with Sophia that Marty seemed a little “of...I agree with Sophia that Marty seemed a little “off” when he first appeared on camera. I was surprised because that is unlike him. When I realized that his main guest was absent, that explained it.

Smith is great. Just great. No one gets Tony Stewart to say what Smith gets him to say. I'm a huge Tony fan and I remember last year Smith did an article on him on the internet where he said some stuff I never imagined he'd say. And then yesterday he was very open again. Smith has a great ability to make people feel comfortable, and it shows. I met Smith once at Chicagoland and he was the nicest guy, so maybe I'm biased. But he is the same person on TV as he is in person. I just think he has a realness about him that is cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-86297017919133682832008-08-14T05:41:00.000-04:002008-08-14T05:41:00.000-04:00It's rare for me to disagree with JD,but we must h...It's rare for me to disagree with JD,but we must have been watching different shows last night. I think both Smith and Manske are way over rated. I don't know what Manske's problem was last night, but she was just terrible,just going through the motions. If you listen to all the Nascar stuff on TV and read the internet, there was very little covered last night that hasn't been covered before. There were a number of interviews last year on TV with Hamlin's parents discussing the sacrifices they made. The program teases featured Kyle Busch. What we got was a short, interview of Kyle and Steve at the end that reminded me of a couple of guys awaiting root canals. Perhaps I misunderstood the teases when they implied we'd see the inner workings of JGR. I was hoping to see how they built the cars, used 7-Posts,an in-depth tour of the facilities,etc. What I saw were replays of old material.Granted, Joe Gibbs had a health issue and I was really interested in hearing what he had to say. Most Nascar TV reporters, through their positions have access to the drivers, owners and Nascar officials just by picking up the phone. Asking a couple of straightforward questions many of us have shouldn't be confused with excellent reporting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-34391490617673624482008-08-14T03:38:00.000-04:002008-08-14T03:38:00.000-04:00JD said...You guys really think Marty looked uncom...JD said...<BR/>You guys really think Marty looked uncomfortable?<BR/><BR/>Never said he looked uncomfortable, but he looked like someone new to hosting a show.Being a presenter requires a certain polish, it was missing, but I doubt Smith has experience at this role.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-51271516431092017122008-08-13T23:06:00.000-04:002008-08-13T23:06:00.000-04:00I thought Marty looked uncomfortable when he first...I thought Marty looked uncomfortable when he first appeared on the screen or Nicole threw to him or whatever it's called.

To me he looked very relaxed, like he was having fun. And it was apparent to me that the interview subjects were also relaxed. The answers he got from everyone were great. I didn't think he was the least bit uncomfortable, and compared to what we normally see from those types of shows he was way better than the others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62281051524781614692008-08-13T22:26:00.000-04:002008-08-13T22:26:00.000-04:00You guys really think Marty looked uncomfortable?You guys really think Marty looked uncomfortable?Daly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-62799273937437771902008-08-13T22:09:00.000-04:002008-08-13T22:09:00.000-04:00i agree with cvt...Marty looked very uncomfortable...i agree with cvt...Marty looked very uncomfortable as the host...it looked as if the empty suits decided to bench Nicole at the very last second.Haus14https://www.blogger.com/profile/06348382223779617438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-17372491721289650672008-08-13T20:21:00.000-04:002008-08-13T20:21:00.000-04:00Smith is a fine reporter but there's a reason ...Smith is a fine reporter but there's a reason Bestwick, Burr & Manske were hired as hosts.
