It didn't come over the air, but it played on any scanner at the track that was tuned into the race broadcast for the pre-race show. I didn't like him before that, but that commentary was the end for me. And he's obviously unhappy with the "new guy". Me, too -- Weber doesn't know much, but the new guy knows even less and there just isn't any flow in this broadcast. Work in Progress -- pathetic!GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-30694780003465034392007-06-18T11:14:00.000-04:002007-06-18T11:14:00.000-04:00I don't get the whole TNT thing to begin with. I d...I don't get the whole TNT thing to begin with. I don't understand why NASCAR doesn't stick with one network instead of asking viewers to guess which network the race is on this week. <BR/><BR/>The "tilt-a-whirl" set is just sad. And pity the guys trying to work out of it. They must be jealous of FOX's Hollywood Hotel since it is air conditioned. It was ridiculous to have Larry Mac and the new guy try to talk on that set while the cars were at speed.<BR/>You couldn't hear them over the car noise.<BR/><BR/>And why is Larry Mac there anyway?<BR/>Being that he is such a staple on FOX,that's just weird. As good as he is on the FOX team he seems very uncomfortable in this group.<BR/><BR/>Weber? As annoying as Bob Costas. They both talk like they invented the sports they cover. Wally? He and BP seemed to have established a nice rapport and maybe he's lost without BP. Kyle was the only spark in the whole show.<BR/><BR/>Let's see - more cluttered with network promos than a CBS football broadcast, no chemistry among the talent, I have no idea who that guy with Larry Mac is and don't really care to find out. Thankfully I have a volume control on my remote.<BR/><BR/>Word to TNT - have you heard Ricky Craven on Sirius with Jon Kernan?<BR/>You might want to see if he's available on weekends. Very smooth, articulate and insightful.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46461295288039079262007-06-18T11:08:00.000-04:002007-06-18T11:08:00.000-04:00JDAgree with most except the TNT folks did a very ...JD<BR/><BR/>Agree with most except the TNT folks did a very nice, heartfelt tribute to Benny Parsons which was long over due.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-9859151118293361612007-06-18T10:04:00.000-04:002007-06-18T10:04:00.000-04:00Weber was better off when he was a pit reporter.

But the lack of consistency goes right along with NASCAR's lack of consistency, so they're just following the official party line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-78089451930665802592007-06-17T20:44:00.000-04:002007-06-17T20:44:00.000-04:00kyle petty is a great tv personality. hope that he...kyle petty is a great tv personality. hope that he gets many more opportunities as he shifts to this phase of his career.<BR/><BR/>and how annoying was marty snider's interview with junior??? marty kept interrupting junior each time junior tried to answer a question to make some supposedly funny and "cute" comment. let junior and rick hendrick talk. i didn't watch this interview for marty's opinion or see his lack of wit.<BR/><BR/>this was in sharp contrast to wendy venturini's outstanding interview with junior, kelly, and hendrick. she let each person speak and it was obvious they were very comfortable with her. she has developed an amazing tv presence and i thoroughly enjoy her segments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-623949851839301452007-06-17T19:06:00.000-04:002007-06-17T19:06:00.000-04:00Cannot bear hearing Weber, back to whom the declin...Cannot bear hearing Weber, back to whom the decline in NASCAR ratings can be traced. WHY does NASCAR allow TNT to use Weber after the disaster his work was on NBC? Thank goodness for MRN.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
