Yes...just that, entertaining :rolleyes:

What then is life like having never watched anything, or listened to anything, or said anything, just because it was entertaining and for no other reason?

For me, it's like watching Shriners in a parade. I don't know who they are or what they're about, but they're entertaining to me on their little bikes. They provide zero for me outside of entertainment value, but I do not hide my eyes when I hear them coming.

Nothing against Kenny Mayne...but I don't find him very funny or entertaining.
Some say he's belittles the sport..... I wouldn't go quite that far though.

In his defense, he is aware that INVAAAAAAAAASSSSSOOOOOOR is the best horse in the world and has been for awhile here now.

So that instantly makes him more knowledgeable than quite a few people, eh?

Hes the worlds worst, painful to watch. Maybe the reason hes so uncomfortable is because he doesnt have a clue what hes talking about and its all scripted

VERY painfull....

I know its still early, but Hank looks pretty composed, not even sweating.

The Hammer has just got 2 mins of airtime and I dont think that he got 1 name right

Exchange Rate looks to be bet hard

Hard Sense also nice

Hearing him say Circular Sense was too funny, and somehow so appropriate.

If he had said that in another hour, I'm sure it would have been slurred.
They don't call him Hammerin' Hank for nothing....

Better than hearing Quint talk about the feeling of "enemacy" or whatever. Makes you awkwardly shift a bit in your seat.

ETA: So Curlin has a double dose of "stanima" does he Kenny?
