So many ask a question that the driver just answered. This one bothers me more than any other. <BR/>Marty Smith is good; Wendy Venturini, Bob Dilner, and many others are good. <BR/>The new guy on NASCAR.now was much better than the others he replaced, but he should still work at his craft. He should watch Dave Despain(any of his shows) who is my hero when it comes to journalists and second only to Chris Econimaci(forgive my spelling).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-44862169545033004172007-04-06T19:18:00.000-04:002007-04-06T19:18:00.000-04:00You have to question ABC/ESPN for forcing that Ban...You have to question ABC/ESPN for forcing that Banks on us. This smells like the media trying to force diversity on NASCAR instead of reporting the story.

As to Matt K. being a difficult interview, I believe it is difficult for most to relate to Matt witch is what causes the tension or un-easiness. If you would like to hear him at his silliest, check out his weekly interview on Milwaukee local radio with Bob & Brian at 102.9 The Hog. I have seen a link to the interview at Matts' fan site.<BR/><BR/>Chuck L.<BR/>Waukesha Wi.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-32625990680464202862007-04-06T10:18:00.000-04:002007-04-06T10:18:00.000-04:00The only reasons I even watched NASCAR Now after t...The only reasons I even watched NASCAR Now after the first week were 1) the slim hope things would improve and 2) there wasn't any alternative. I usually FF'ed through everything until I got to Marty Smith's portion of the show or the segment was about one of my drivers.<BR/><BR/>There is such a difference between Ryan's interviews and those with the other 2 "hosts". The biggest difference being that he had honest, natural reactions to the information he was given because he understood what he was being told. If you have no idea what is going on around you, you can't have any reaction at all.<BR/><BR/>I have no idea why it took ESPN 2 months to fix things, but I hope this change is permanent.JHDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09520556026815084964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-55033455129568408022007-04-06T06:27:00.000-04:002007-04-06T06:27:00.000-04:00Excellent blogating...I just found your site.Is Sp...Excellent blogating...I just found your site.<BR/><BR/>Is Speed falling behind by not having a 'daly', no pun, vrooming show?TalkGeorgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03662515147728398699noreply@blogger.com
