... the Sprint Cup Series season has been great so far with Gen-6. Best Cup season in a long time.
I can't wait until the series resumes at Indianapolis in July.
No complaints about the season, one of the best so far. The car is an improvement. Still need more safer barriers, it will help to prolong the careers of our favorite drivers.
And fox was any better? Listening to that a hole DW with his stupid BS all race? I am so glad that we are away from fox. It just to bad that they cannot put the races on pay per view or a special channel so that we could just watch the race. And get rid of DW. He is the one that ruins the broadcast.
I deal with it by watching the live leader board, and if anything happens big during the commercials, they will have at least one camera and the in car to show what was missed. I find the camera coverage much the same for all of them. I think D.W. does the best job of all the announcers...(go ahead throw rocks), but the part I like the best is when they have a current driver in the booth, their first hand current knowledge of the cars and the racing is great.
You won't get hit with rocks by me. I happen to enjoy the commentary from MJ, DW and Larry McPenis. If anything I am kinda gonna miss them!
I think you need help.
I don't hate DW,and I'm sure he's a nice and sincere guy, but I don't think he's a very good color commentator any more. He's extremely prone to favoritism; Jr. and Danica can do no wrong in his eyes. He jumps to conclusions regarding causes of accidents or equipment failures, and sometimes fails to acknowledge his misjudgement when the replays show him wrong. He's been out from behind the wheel so long that many of his comments are no longer relative; he had no experience with the COT and none with the Gen 6. I think he's better than Mikey's 'Rah-rah' performance on the Truck broadcasts, which in my opinion is the worst job of any on-air personality across all series and networks, but that's relative (in multiple sense of the word) and DW's not better by much and his schtick has grown old. Ricky Craven is a much better analyst. Yes, he's also been out of the car a while, but he does a much better job of explaining what's going on and doesn't have a pit box full of annoying mannerisms.
Have you been listening to 60 radion again nitro? I see a lot of songs in that post lol
Ok I'll bite the hook and defend DW on this one. When DW "jumps to a conclusion" on things that happen on the track he is putting forth his own personal experience and (which is far beyond any experience we can fathom!) and I must say in DW's defense that he hits the nail on the head a good 85% of the time! I will agree that he is a bit on the goofy side, but for me it is endearing. Now with all that said I just spit the hook out!!!
That's all you got from my post? I mention multiple reasons I don't like DW, and you focus on one of two drivers I think he favors? Fine, replace her name with Mikey's as the other driver DW roots for and then maybe you'll be able to get to the rest of the post.Good for you , getting Danica's name into this thread . Surely she is what is wrong with broadcasting today.
Not a problem; to each his own. So his broadcast style doesn't appeal to me; there are obviously millions who like it or Fox would have replaced him. I don't think he's right as much as you do, but maybe if he'd deliver his theories with a touch of "It's possible..." or "That could have been..." then I would find his inaccuracies less annoying. Yes, he has more experience than I'll ever hope to, but Fox doesn't have to chose between he and I; there are plenty of potential replacements with as much experience and (in my opinion) better on-air skills.
You just hit a home run, StandOnIt.
