Carl as one of the top drivers already has his mug all over the TV Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday.. interviewed countless times throughout the weekends. Now he'll be commentating races. That's a little too much Carl for me.<br /><br />Besides this, I find Carl to be a big phony, and am not really interested in hearing his analysis. One more strike against ESPN I'm afraid, as they are just in love with the guy.CaseMoneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-82744757546868637392012-02-03T15:21:13.937-05:002012-02-03T15:21:13.937-05:00Would rather see more of Ricky Craven but Carl doe...Would rather see more of Ricky Craven but Carl does a decent job.Have always admired the powers that be at ESPN for being smart enough to stay away from the Waltrips.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-84600229620657129562012-02-02T22:01:36.092-05:002012-02-02T22:01:36.092-05:00@PammH, I'm with you too.

Carl has been in a car and done well there. Were I producing I would look kindly upon him. I would be inclined to think he will wear well with the fan base and not wear out his welcome (again, as have a couple of fellers I could mention). I am not shy anout bashing The Worldwide Leader, but their adding Carl seems not to be an occasion for me to do so.<br /><br />Shifting gear slightly, Carl said in the interview, in reference to The View From the Booth: <i>"Sometimes you see things up there that you don’t see either on television or in the race car."</i>. I hope he means that. I hope h really means the tlevision part of it. Maybe he will figure out how much it often sucks to be us, and maybe he can have an effect on the presentation.<br /><br />Quack.AncientRacernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-78487262068138594322012-02-02T08:01:55.463-05:002012-02-02T08:01:55.463-05:00Can't imagine 4 people in the booth after that...Can't imagine 4 people in the booth after that 'backseat drivers' thing ESPN did in 2009.
