He sells stuff by the truck load. Does that mean he lost his knowledge of the sport? His credibility has to do with the fact that he either knows racing and can analize or not. Often times we hear him comment on an engine before it blows up, or notice a driver stuggeling loose before he crashes, or notices a flat tire before the crew, etc. I would dare say that DW is very well respected for his extensive knowledge, whether he sells Digger or not. <BR/><BR/>Like what you said about Nicole, his network thinks he's doing a good job and keeps him working.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-38627100691355697522009-03-20T20:26:00.000-04:002009-03-20T20:26:00.000-04:00I'm not anon 5:53,but I'm reacting to the comment ...I'm not anon 5:53,but I'm reacting to the comment about "Agenda"??? I, and I'm sure most TDP readers don't have an 'agenda'. All we expect is knowledgeable people covering their favorite sport on TV. Manske was a disaster on the Speed Report. I'm convinced she knows nothing about Nascar racing.On Speed Report,she once narrated a bike racing crash and commented that the rider reverted to a backup CAR! The next year on NN,she was almost as bad partly due to not having to cover as many venues. Last year she was better. No improvement this year. She has no self confidence and puts me to sleep with her monotone.That ESPN advances anyone carries absolutely no weight with me based on past choices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-46977232536963918652009-03-20T20:08:00.000-04:002009-03-20T20:08:00.000-04:00Anon 7:46PM,As you may remember, Ryan was a regula...Anon 7:46PM,<BR/><BR/>As you may remember, Ryan was a regular reader of TDP and often emailed with me about NASCAR.<BR/><BR/>He is a great guy and as I have said many times a great TV news professional. <BR/><BR/>No one is comparing the two, I was saying Manske has worked in motorsports for the past few years and ESPN has done a good job of "packaging" her in this new role.<BR/><BR/>I agree, as I mentioned, that the roundtable experience was more scripted then with Bestwick, but what do you expect? <BR/><BR/>She is surrounded by two of the top NASCAR TV pro's and only time will tell if she steps-up and fits in or decides to move on again.<BR/><BR/>The comparison to DW is really off-base in my opinion. The things he has done commercially and the sponsor shills and this season's Digger stuff are just killing his credibility. <BR/><BR/>Manske is not on commercials, does not endorse products and is not even close to DW's level of visibility as a spokesman, former NASCAR champ and TV announcer.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-25411004209951217742009-03-20T19:53:00.000-04:002009-03-20T19:53:00.000-04:00Anon, 7:46...I think Nicole seems to have a little...Anon, 7:46...<BR/><BR/>I think Nicole seems to have a little more knowledge on the sport than Ryan.

He is a true professional and she is not, IMHO. He is doing beautifully in his new job, in basketball. <BR/><BR/>As I look at some of her round tables, it looks like the participants talk around/past her. I just don't see a respect that goes to a person that "knows" what they are doing. <BR/><BR/>I look at Ryan as he is doing basketball, and the panels he leads, the participants are looking at him and answering HIM!!Great chemistry.<BR/><BR/>I guess I wonder why you seem to defend Nicole and yet when people tear DW apart, you let them go at it--which is just fine. After all, it seems to me that your goal is to have people comment, whatever they think, as long as it is done is a way without using profanity/abusive language.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-9747632487930356552009-03-20T19:46:00.000-04:002009-03-20T19:46:00.000-04:00Until we get the furry rodent off the Cup Car broa...Until we get the furry rodent off the Cup Car broadcasts, I will keep the personal attacks on the hosts to a minimum.

I'm not a Scott Riggs or Jeremy M fan, but I really do hate those 2 have missed the race again after all the effort their teams have apparently put in.

After witnessing the heartbreak of the sponsored cars of Jeremy Mayfield and Scott Riggs missing the show, I sure hope those unsponsored go-or-go-homers that knocked them out did so because they are in Bristol to race and not just to collect starting money.<BR/><BR/>It will truly be a shame if any of those cars run only a couple laps of practice on Saturday, conveniently fall to the back of the starting grid on Sunday because of some kind of made-up "problem", run a few laps, and then park when their spots could have been occupied by owners and drivers that actually want to race and compete.<BR/><BR/>Here's hoping for a 500-lap race with 43 actual racecars on Sunday.stricklinfan82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01808897974344304657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-52881399421736346162009-03-20T18:55:00.000-04:002009-03-20T18:55:00.000-04:00I smell a little something cooking with your comme...I smell a little something cooking with your comments where Manske is concerned.<BR/><BR/>She held her own after moving over from SPEED, jumped into the deep end this season and continues to be a better presence than Ryan Burr, who admittedly did not know the sport very well.<BR/><BR/>Comments are deleted on this blog when they are hateful, contain bad language or are judged to be in bad taste.<BR/><BR/>You can (and many people do) voice an opinion about any TV personality being discussed.
