Should we have a seperate sticky thread so those who wish to complain about TV coverage all race long can have a place to do that and leave those who wish to discuss the race to the race threads?
Pretty much.The tv coverage doesn't bother me, and the complainers doesn't bother me. So, either way is fine with me. At least on here if you get tired of a compulsive whiner all you have to do is ignore them. Out in the real world it's not as easy.
I voted yes, the same old bitchin gets tiresome. Some folks apparently think that complaining makes them look wise. Really any idiot can complain and be bitter it takes no special skills.
Wisdom imo is more about smelling the roses and enjoying the good times. Life is to short for anything else.
Probably would be easier if we just made a sticky thread for complaining about Andy.
All those who hate TNT will just have to wait until they can boogity, boogity, boogity back to Fox.
Better and ESPN are a oxymoron.Fortunately, the TNT portion of the season will end in a few weeks and much better ESPN will take over.

I'm biased because I don't have to watch commercials but I don't see what's so bad about them...Not when you compare them to TNT.

Commercial breakdown for Sonoma. Almost one third of the race broadcast was covered up by commercials. The race was ten minutes longer than last week, but the 55 minutes of sell me crap stayed the same.

ESPN's coverage of the Nationwide at Kentucky had a new one on me. After a five minute string of buy it's, they would cut to the race. A screen popup would appear with the announcer harping away about another network watch it. You could hear the race in the background, but the screen was blocked so all you could see was the pop up. Totally worthless if you were trying to watch the race, but your eyes were riveted on the pop up waiting for it to disappear. I sure want to bitch slap whoever at that network came up with that one.

They come back from commercial to the guys in the booth having off camera chats.
