But all sports commentators get way off topic and blather on endlessly w/o address things going on the field. FOX & ESPN got him irked and he claims Fox's graphics and everybody's 'guest in the booth with no connection to the games as they cross promote' is just totally irritating.<br /><br />So my final verdict will be the camera work today since I have no radio MRN in the house today.<br /><br />Also I have not been able to get on Twitter today, though I've only tried for the last hour or so..and no Twitter status updates yet but many have had problems from different parts of the country since the big outage last week.<br /><br />Hope that is fixed before the NW race. :)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-26948510825958858302009-08-15T13:19:53.292-04:002009-08-15T13:19:53.292-04:00JD,

Just saying. I think he talks to others in the garage who tell him what the car is doing. Same as DW. Not a big deal to me.

Rusty's a talker...we've all known people like that, they can't seem to help themselves. But Dale is more average, and he seems to instinctively know the time to jump in and talk.

Ray is also very articulate. Forget about Rusty and his out sized ego. Technically, he has shown me that he has no in depth knowledge of the COT. I'm no fan of Punch, but one possible reason for his lack of emotion is that he's a Doctor. Doctors have to be cool to perform.

The man was walking excitement. But Punch told not just one, but TWO boring stories about Tim. And whatever poignancy the stories has was destroyed by Punch's deathy-slow, monotone delivery which nearly put me to sleep. <br /><br />Dale Jarrett is great. I liked him on the track, and I like him in the booth.
