The Announcers Thread

Once again, Fox's pit reporting lags behind the others. There was no mention of Dinger's cool suit not working until he gets out of the car and is on the ground. All the focus at the end was on Reddick, SVG, and Blaney.

I recall that was promoted during yesterday's race. Since Fox has done that many times before, it would be more chatter-worthy if they weren't doing it.

I suppose if you are one of the many fox trolls, that would excite ya if the drivers didn't do it, but I find that I usually learn something about the cars or team functions by those who are closer to the sources than announcers who are never seen in the garages these days.

I agree about learning from active drivers in the booth.

As usual, I didn't make my point. Fox has done this for years, so I don't know why continuing to do so would spawn new conversations. I could see discussions being spawned if Fox discontinued the practice, mostly along the lines of "What did they do that for?"

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused.
 
Versant could come out smelling like a rose when the NFL renegotiates and networks start shuddering other sports. Those could land with Versant. If so, maybe that eventually helps NASCAR.

Versant is coming out of a lot of things smelling like a rose here lately.

They went all in on women's sports, which seemed like an odd move out of necessity. But now, ESPN is trying to play catchup.

When Bari Weiss does to CNN what she did to CBS News, MS NOW is going to gain a lot of viewers and acquire some serious talent.

And so far, sporting events on USA Sports have overperformed expectations, and by a lot.

I think Adam Alexander is the best announcer calling NASCAR races right now. In my opinion, he beats Diffey, Joy and would at least tie with Bestwick if he were calling races right now.

Someone racing now who I think is going to be quite good for commentary in the booth some day will be Ross Chastain. I've heard him do several of the O'Reilly races and was impressed by him there.

I use to think that Diffey was one of the best at calling any kind of race. I especially liked him with Steve Matchett and David Hobbs on F1 (Matchett was an absolute trip doing commentary). Lately, Diffey has been just annoying me however.
