I realize they both accomplished a lot when racing, but things have chnaged so dramatically since that point, I'd like to see them just give the drivers, teams etc. their due. I'm also over DW's inability to be objective - he was absolutely crushed when Newman bumped off Truex in Mikey's car - you know, the one with AARONS on it (again IIRC the only sponsor he mentioned). <br /><br />On a positive note, I also liked Phil Parsons - he spoke well and was entertaining, offering a good perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-68040598783521618322010-05-28T07:54:49.443-04:002010-05-28T07:54:49.443-04:00Earl 9:59, You are spot on with

He might be the only one that would agree to sit next to Kenny Wallace's tired schtick for a month-and-a-half, I guess.<br /><br />SPEED has been struggling for years with how to fit a half-hour show into a two-hour timeslot. Now, the summer will feature two of the least credible NASCAR personalities motormouthing through everyone's Sunday brunch.<br /><br />The terrible thing is that DW is great when calling into Wind Tunnel or Sirius 128. If we could get that DW on the TV shows, it could help things a bunch. It seems the camera light comes on and he loses his mind. And we lose interest...<br /><br />Why is it that the NFL, far and away the most popular TV sport gets by with a 1-hour pre-game, yet we get stuck with hours of commercials and mindless drivel, with a gem here or there, that doesn't quite make it worth tuning in?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01369740099497802489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-29240728157588478282010-05-27T20:49:34.009-04:002010-05-27T20:49:34.009-04:00He got smoked by Newman.

They cheer if it wrecks, they cheer if it doesn't wreck... They particularly cheer if it's the points leader or current champion. Or if it's someone named Busch, lol. anything that's out of the ordinary. My friend was at Indy once when a squirrel crossed the track during the Indy 500. They cheered when it made it across, and cheered when it got squashed on the way back.
