What I was referencing was that ESPN NEWS declined to use excerpts from Tony and Dale Jr's press conference in their highlights...<BR/><BR/>***after initially using them.*** <BR/><BR/>They removed them.<BR/>They changed their highlight package. Normally ESPN NEWS sets their highlight package and lets it run through the evening and overnight.<BR/><BR/>They changed it late last night and deleted all the NASCAR Media Group clips, using FOX clips of Tony instead (as did Sportscenter). They also deleted any comment from Dale Jr, meaning only comments about tires came from Tony. <BR/><BR/>Why would that decision be made? I don't think that's a conspiracy theory out of control. They completely changed their highlights package even though the topic -tires- on both Tony's FOX interview and his press conference comments were the same. So why change it after you've edited the package together? It didn't add any new information to use the FOX post race interview instead of media center post race comments.<BR/><BR/>If an NMG or ESPN NEWS rep could explain that decision, that would be helpful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-56360273000587730472008-03-10T14:08:00.000-04:002008-03-10T14:08:00.000-04:00thanks for the update, jd: i'm not good with consp...thanks for the update, jd: i'm not good with conspiracy theory and i always assume there's a benign explanation that i just haven't been told! it makes sense that the winner has victory lane and other media responsibilities that come before the press conference. it also makes sense that espn news is not going to immediately stop their coverage once the winner walks into the room nor are they going to hold all questioning of the winner until they have finished whatever they were broadcasting at the time. <BR/><BR/>BUT! it has to be easy just to issue the "we'll be back with winner billy joe bob's press conference in full on tape/live as soon as he makes his way from victory lane." that way, i know to hang on thru endless basketball footage. that also let's folks know that it's likely that the winner will be on tape. key here is to tell folks it will happen, it might be on tape, but that it will be the complete press conference w/no editing.<BR/><BR/>this is all just a thought b/c i dislike tossing out complaints and not offering alternatives. . .Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-6304801598318595742008-03-10T13:30:00.000-04:002008-03-10T13:30:00.000-04:00The conspiracy theories are getting a little bit o...The conspiracy theories are getting a little bit out of control, but that's what makes it fun sometimes.<BR/><BR/>NMG uplinks the Media Center press conference after the race. While the second and third place drivers come almost right after the race, the winner has to do the Victory Lane duties (including the SPEED show) and just wanders in after that.<BR/><BR/>It is hard for a TV network that has other stories on-the-air to catch this live, but a couple of minute delay was not bad. Now that this is out and has become a public discussion, perhaps we will see ESPNEWS work a little harder to catch the winner live at the remaining races. <BR/><BR/>NMG has guidelines for all kinds of footage uses, just like the other professional sports in North America. Normally, the news window is 24 hours for TV news broadcasts, and anything else requires a phone call to Charlotte, NC.<BR/><BR/>As we go through the year, I will try to get an NMG executive to interview and ask your questions. Those guys read this blog every day and have been very helpful.

In the media conference clip highlight earlier they showed Tony saying that he couldn't see how the race wasn't fun for anybody and he wouldn't rerun that race for any amount of money in the world. (The one-min version Sophia mentions on espn.com)<BR/><BR/>Maybe NASCAR can deal with Goodyear criticism but not race criticism. And leaving Junior out of the highlights the way they are doing now is really strange. IMO they probably figure if people see it's Tony complaining, they'll think it's Tony blowing hot air and consider it unimportant.<BR/><BR/>I loved the media conference. I'm spoiled now, and I'll be disappointed if they change it from live next week. I think they will change considering they stopped using the media conference clips a few hours after they had the conference.

They used his FOX post race interview instead. Hmmm.....<BR/><BR/>They did use a brief Jr clip from the press conference, but the anchor said something to the effect of Kyle B. was OK with the tires, Tony was "smoking" about the tires and Jr was somewhere in the middle. <BR/><BR/>They also displayed a graphic of Tony's past monetary fines (ESPN still doesn't realize it's the points that count) as if they expect Tony to be fined for his comments.<BR/><BR/>I switched back to ESPNnews while doing some work. What was odd was the ESPNews - which aired the press conference - has also stopped using the Tony clips they had! That network is also showing the FOX Tony interview in their highlights - and <B>*no clips of Dale Jr comments anymore*</B>. They added a clip from the Goodyear representative who apparently also gave a press conference. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad I saw the earlier live press conference, because now the ESPN reports are shaping this story as Tony - by himself - vs. Goodyear. <BR/><BR/>I'd like to know the story of ESPN platforms reverting to the FOX interview when they had the live press conference of their own.
