There certainly are some different feelings about this one show, and about how the series should conduct itself for the rest of the season.<BR/><BR/>TNT was the F-bomb network for Kyle, and it was a strange mistake for a professional TV network to listen to a replay, and then play it back knowing there was a profanity on it. This is the big time, and it should not have happened.<BR/><BR/>This weekend the show should be very interesting. We will talk about it during the week, thanks again for your comments.<BR/><BR/>JDDaly Planet Editorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834588435004023666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-14531971488497028332007-10-11T18:11:00.000-04:002007-10-11T18:11:00.000-04:00My point about the reporting about Toyota early in...My point about the reporting about Toyota early in the year is that it was not based on fact - but, made for a good story. A modest amount of real reporting would have disclosed that Toyota in the past 5 to 7 years has spent well over $1 BILLION in Formula 1 and still has not won a race - so expecting Toyota to be able to swamp the other teams in NASCAR in 2007 was silly. Jack Roush had a vested, financial interest in talking about the evils of Toyota (to get more money out of Ford- as he apparently did), but I never saw any broadly distributed article questioning Roush's motive as possibly self-interest, rather than accuracy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-17899988585828618752007-10-11T15:36:00.000-04:002007-10-11T15:36:00.000-04:00Geez, what a pissing match the blogs are this week...Geez, what a pissing match the blogs are this week.

I've read hers, there is a tremendous amount of rumor in them.

I don't know if they're afraid to do that after the demise of Pit Bulls or what, but there is a need for this type of program.<BR/><BR/>As an aside, I cringed when Jenna said they had to stop to get behind Biffle. That was Jeff Gordon's comment, and she remembered it out of context.

At least down here, there is a lot written by the media that has to be pure imagination- and what is really commentary is presented as fact. It seems to me that one purpose of TRADIN' PAINT is to make the media back up what they write. The racing print media, especially newspapers, has become increasingly outlandish and anti-NASCAR since the consolidation of the NASCAR TV contract - which, with the Internet, has diminished the importance of the print media as a source of racing news and information. TRADIN' PAINT implies a 2-way street, not just 1-way. The media can be asked to support their opinions - and often they do not really know what they are talking about, such as in February when the common, print media line was that Toyota was going to overwhelm the other teams in NASCAR.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-84511693446920061902007-10-10T17:22:00.000-04:002007-10-10T17:22:00.000-04:00Hmmmm.
