It seems to me the time has come for all NASCAR fans to start e-mailing and writing Walt Disney Co., the owner of ESPN. I dread the thought of what the Chase is going to be.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-36726044193085146362007-06-21T15:52:00.000-04:002007-06-21T15:52:00.000-04:00Why was Brad Daugherty giving high fives when Kyle...Why was Brad Daugherty giving high fives when Kyle Bush went upsidedown at the Talladega Bush race?

In the beginning I emailed ESPN and asked where they managed to round up the commentators on that show. TIM BREWER as a sports analyist...give me a break and ERIC is just plain pitiful. What ever happened to the real sports commentator for this sport? Neil Bonnett, Benny Parsons are gone and the other good ones don't want anything to do with that kind of show!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-20230031127202081752007-06-21T13:00:00.000-04:002007-06-21T13:00:00.000-04:00Wow, I couldn't have said it better, I have seen t...Wow, I couldn't have said it better, I have seen the Nascar Now show a couple of times and each time I have wondered if those idiots know that race cars don't have muffler bearings, or if they have even seen a race. The show is so lame, I would watch a spelling bee, or championship poker, two other "GREAT" piles of steaming dog doo that ESPN dumps on us.

He knows nothing about the sport and that is sad. The so called experts are has been drivers. I would not let Stacy Compton drive my kid to school, much less a race car. I give Boris a pass because he is really trying hard, Brad D seems to be giving it his all as well, but he seems scared to death anytime a question is directed towards him and has to come up with something on the fly. The worst of them all is Tim Cowlishaw this dude is an idiot. He belongs back on around the horn with the rest of the short bus guys. ESPN needs to hire Alan Bestwick and feature more of Marty Smith, Mike Massaro and Angelic CHengalis, those folks know what they are talking about and have the respect of the nascar community. Erick K is a joke and I pray that at some point ESPN will realize that he is probably the laughing stock of the entire nascar garage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-75478943354294054082007-06-21T06:27:00.000-04:002007-06-21T06:27:00.000-04:00Over the last few weeks I have read your cratiques...Over the last few weeks I have read your cratiques with agreement and pleasure at the insightful and constructive way you have tried to nudge ESPN in the right direction. I do wonder about one thing. NASCAR is a 'family' and the NASCAR 'guys' we all love to see report on our teams are like family. The problem being how objective or indepth can the reporting be if there is NO objectivity? You are not going to point out that although your mothers apple pie won the bake-off she bought it at the Piggly Wiggly now are you? I am completely willing to agree that I for one don't NEED objectivity in my racing anymore than the natural pride and competitive nature of the sport already provides, but perhaps that is on reason ESPN is trying to leave some distance between itself and Mooresvill.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-34036642068518455032007-06-21T05:37:00.000-04:002007-06-21T05:37:00.000-04:00I would do 2 things...have credible hosts and move...I would do 2 things...have credible hosts and move NN to Charlotte...funny how simple things are allowed to be complicated!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
