Heads oughta roll for that debacle. That said, I thought I'd never say something like this, but I'm looking forward to Fox after listening to Marty Reid on IBPN these last few weeks. Talk about a weak link. That guy is the worst, bar none. <br /><br />It's a shame that the best crew has the worst TV package. It's Fox and ESPN that should only have 6 races each with TNT having the balance of the season.gopapanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6705104745272021912010-11-19T12:00:13.331-05:002010-11-19T12:00:13.331-05:00Hey anon 1:04--better check the news, Ray was 100%...Hey anon 1:04--better check the news, Ray was 100% right.

Was setting up my dvr to record the "roundtable" version with Bestwick, Craven, et al that is usually on Mondays. Couldn't find it anywhere in the guide because of college basketball or something. Is ESPN just done after Sunday??? Saw an episode on the guide for 10pm Sun, but then saw on Jayski that it will be hosted by Nicole Briscoe, so that's obviously not going to be the Monday night show I enjoy so much. Just disgusting that ESPN can't give us one last roundtable with Bestwick and a great group.Speedcouchhttp://www.speedcouch.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-5966669623578160512010-11-19T04:06:41.435-05:002010-11-19T04:06:41.435-05:00I too, thought Danielle did a great job on Race Hu...I too, thought Danielle did a great job on Race Hub last night.

I had the misfortune to tune in 10 mins or so in and the first thing out of Randy Pemberton's mouth is them discussing Front Row having 4 cup teams. When did Front Row buy out the Latitude 43 team? Did i miss something or are Randy and Danielle just that ignorant of the back of the field?<br /><br />I'd like to think I've just not been paying attention and Front Row is a 4 car team, but I really don't think so...to me it seems Race Hub is still useless if they can't get the simple stuff right.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-57457098259811073422010-11-18T21:04:31.809-05:002010-11-18T21:04:31.809-05:00Anon 8:21PM,

Every time we hear of Waldrip being on a show the bloggers come out in full force. Why doesn't Speed get the message? Are they just plain stupid? Thankfully the NFL is also on, and their pregame shows as well. I will watch part of the race itself to check on my fantasy drivers, but NOOOO pre-race activities.

Might even turn off the sound in favor of MRN. You know, it's too bad TV's don't have a 'voice recognition' feature--you know, if it's a certain person you don't like, their voice would be automatically muted? That might be a really valuable tool.<br /><br />I hope SPEED knows the value of Racehub.

It was interesting comparing the two. nascar.com had a much higher quality picture and they only showed a wide shot of the three drivers with an occasional tighter zoom on however was speaking at the time. speed.com started cutting away to other images and graphics while the live audio continued. It seemed kind of out of place to do that at a live press conference. Is it just in the DNA of TV production types to take a purely basic event and muck it up? It looked pretty lame. Plus, about five minutes before it was over, speed.com ended their coverage . . . on purpose. What's up with that? I thought that when Ms. Wheeler took over, things like that would not happen.longtimeracefanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03867593056745774242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-86532583877053192362010-11-18T14:21:18.276-05:002010-11-18T14:21:18.276-05:00We really like Hub now that Steve is permanent hos...We really like Hub now that Steve is permanent host (well for this year at least).
