They are cool, they have real personalities, and even for a dedicated fan NASCAR for 500 miles on ESPN and TNT gets rough! Those guys are trying so hard to be Fox "cool" but seems they are not real full time NASCAR fans. How many times on TNT and ESPN do I hear them calling car numbers in a hurry, but blank on driver names off the top of their heads. Plus, how often does the truck crew play the wrong video on replays for the same lack of knowing and loving the sport? Ya'll are too hard on DW and Fox, they are the class of the field; TNT and ESPN are ALWAYS a giant let down into June for me! I disagree with your ranting against FOX!6thCentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441266965401248750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68462236169203519492009-04-05T22:09:00.000-04:002009-04-05T22:09:00.000-04:00i've solved the rodent problem. set the dvr, take ...i've solved the rodent problem. set the dvr, take a 2 hour nap, then hit skip every time he sticks his hairy head up. it also works on the drug store cowboy in the booth. lt darrolt darronoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-19093510688527553322009-04-05T14:31:00.000-04:002009-04-05T14:31:00.000-04:00Interesting the Cincy Fox affiliate has normal 4:3...Interesting the Cincy Fox affiliate has normal 4:3 feed with NO BARS.<BR/><BR/>So that PD or GM last week was too stupid to know HOW the race was broadcast. <BR/><BR/>So there was obviously a screw up and they chose to blame me for giving tech details on the diff between Cincy and Dayton affilites.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-42880813555083830812009-04-05T13:53:00.000-04:002009-04-05T13:53:00.000-04:00if nas$car and fox are looking to lose what audien...if nas$car and fox are looking to lose what audience they have left, they're going about it the right way. I'm watching the fox pre-race shoe and here comes a new piece of crap cartoon involving a stupid rodent (I won't even say it's name). Needless to say, I changed the channel for awhile. Fox just sinks lower and lower. Is there no common sense or sanity left in the minds of tv networks. Can't they see we just want to watch racing?midasmicahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-17877386751499304682009-04-05T13:13:00.000-04:002009-04-05T13:13:00.000-04:00Well we forgot to tape F1 race and repeat is on AG...Well we forgot to tape F1 race and repeat is on AGAINST IRL and NASCAR race...so we shall tape that..<BR/><BR/>But IRL needs to re think scheduling against NASCAR. We will be watching both races on the tv in the LRoom...but will not "count" on the HD signal to work.<BR/><BR/>Also I hope FOX normal tv does not cut the picture by a third like last week with oversized black bars.<BR/><BR/>Will watch the Dayton affiliate.<BR/><BR/>I got a snobby letter from FOX in Cincy last week. since I did not mention TW they assumed I had to have satellite as they carried the bar widescreen version. When I said I had TW they basically acted like I was lying that they downloaded and cropped the show FOX DID, and this station had no CONTROL over this.<BR/><BR/>Well an affiliate in Dayton filled the screen with 4:3 ratio and looked fine. A little black bars I can deal with but when the cars look tiny and the ticker font, microscopic, NOT GOOD.<BR/><BR/>So I don't know who to blame.<BR/><BR/>I just know with two races on, we wont' be listening to radio. But isn't it PRN this weekend? Don't like those guys anyhoo.Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-1887031830149197632009-04-05T12:57:00.000-04:002009-04-05T12:57:00.000-04:00Karen,Isn't that amazing?

Ove...There are always things that can be improved. Overall, I think that FOX does a far superior broadcast than BSPN. TNT is OK with me too. I have been really surprised at how Bill Weber has changed his on camera persona. <BR/><BR/>I do remember during the Daytona 500 broadcast that I heard DW say, "I know that we are supposed to just focus on the top 10, but there is a lot of racing going on behind those guys". It may have even been Fontana, but I distinctly remember hearing him say that. <BR/><BR/>I am cringing at the thought of BSPN taking over the Cup broadcasts in August. I believe a significant factor in the quality of the reporting of the race is that the FOX team has at least one of the booth trio, (maybe more), watching the track. My understanding is that none of the BSPN booth does that. Another critical difference is the pit reporting. The BSPN crew is, (most of them), awful. <BR/><BR/>Finally, the most critical difference to me is the glaring lack of ethics in the BSPN approach to covering NASCAR. They must be paying Dale Jarrett a TON of money for him to remain associated with that low life outfit! <BR/><BR/>I can ignore Digger. I can ignore most of the self promotion that DW does. That's been his style since he started racing. I am interested in the content, and truthful information. BSPN loses the whole thing on that count alone as far as I am concerned. <BR/><BR/>I think I should start using the acronym EESPN. I think that is a more accurate label for them.Rockin Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16401306989231204937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-11274088695575153712009-04-05T09:40:00.000-04:002009-04-05T09:40:00.000-04:00The second half can't go fast enough.
