He was always a talker (it was no accident his nickname was "Jaws") and was not an easy guy to like--and I think he'd be the first one to say that. Now anyway.<BR/><BR/>DW is still a talker and people still love him or hate him (it's that sizable ego), but one thing you can't take from DW is his love of racing or his knowledge about the sport. <BR/><BR/>NASCAR needs people like DW on TV, he cares what happens to and in the sport.

JD, your point about actual issues being discussed is right on target. This has been one of my biggest beefs all year, as it seems the only "free" opinions are now on David Poole's morning show (although even that is in danger with the MRN connection). Get Hinton on more often! Too bad he went to ESPN, because the Hinton/Miller show on WT was one of the best!<BR/>I am not sure I agree with everything those guys said, but thats the idea- get some REAL opinions out there and let us decide without the NASCAR Koolaid! I do think DW is on to something about the seasonal alignment, which was nice to hear, because he has been decidedly Koolaid-ish as of late.<BR/><BR/>Tom <BR/>Inverness, FLTomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04004047098122631995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-87208402485251695662008-11-06T12:33:00.000-05:002008-11-06T12:33:00.000-05:00I agree about DW..."Jaws" or not, he has better id...I agree about DW..."Jaws" or not, he has better ideas than "I don't care about racing, I just love the money B.
