I watched at least part of it before I went back to sleep. Mikey still drives me crazy but he was very animated and sort of funny last night. I would have liked to hear the end of Chad's story as well and that constant diarrhea of the mouth that Mikey has is one of the reasons I seldom watch the show any more. I miss Schrader big time. Since there isn't any new information about the Mayfield situation and honestly, I wouldn't take anything that Mikey said as fact anyway, it was fine with me that they didn't talk about it.GinaV24https://www.blogger.com/profile/10828669350024430018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-59450902861649513112009-05-19T17:01:00.000-04:002009-05-19T17:01:00.000-04:00I'm yet one more person who didn't mind the lack o...I'm yet one more person who didn't mind the lack of Mayfield discussion on last night's TWIN. When/if there are more facts on the table, I'll be interested to hear their opinions. For now, I was just happy to enjoy the chaos.<br /><br />Like Sophia, I was extremely disappointed at MW's interruption of Chad's story at the end. I'd heard it before, but not from Chad's POV, and I was enjoying it. Chad was surprisingly animated as the comic storyteller for once -- it could have been a wonderful TWIN moment.<br /><br />I blame Steve to some extent. He's sometimes a little too entertained by Michael's antics, and he loses track of what other panelists are contributing. Then he forgets to go back and pick up on what they were saying. It's often frustrating, but last night it made me crazy .<br /><br />I like Michael a lot, but Chad's the main reason I watch. (And the two of them together are like peanut butter and jelly!) If Steve can be a bit more of a traffic cop, I'll be a happy camper.Anne Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07728185352818161904noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-40100489822203780502009-05-19T16:31:00.000-04:002009-05-19T16:31:00.000-04:00Let's face it, NASCAR runs the rules and policies ...Let's face it, NASCAR runs the rules and policies and the only time it is going to change is when they allow it too. I thin that Big Bill used to call it a benevolent dictatorship.<br />I am tired of the Mayfield story and we just need to go on. I am glad TWIN ignored it because that show is more fluff than news anyhow. Jeremy knew the rules and he is trying to put his spin on something that obviously has been told to him otherwise by a very scientific methodology.majorshousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01061887437257431963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-24329328087564762352009-05-19T15:54:00.000-04:002009-05-19T15:54:00.000-04:00I enjoyed last nights, show as well.

The two yakkers SHOULD be closer to each other anyway for viewing purposes.<br /><br />Not that folks running SPEED would know what 'looks good on tv'..shirts, makeup, glowing/flashing images all the time. MEOW HISS.<br /><br />(ok, that was not directed at the guys on TWIN but in general.)<br /><br />I agree this show should've avoided the JM story which frankly, I am weary of until we get DETAILS HANDWRIT IN STONE.<br /><br />:-)Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07789033556426951026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-86160247077563546762009-05-19T15:34:00.000-04:002009-05-19T15:34:00.000-04:00I thought last night's Twin was really lame.
