we should also give props to NBC for buying Versus, looks like Versus has found their niche since they were the Outdoor network, where the only thing the channel was good for was to watch the Tour De France.

I watched yesterday and it was great. Didn't get the opportunity to watch today. To me, there is no better sport to watch in HD then horse racing.

The coverage has been great, I've watched each one. Adding Andy today was great and the various other people on both NBC and Versus have been great.

vs coverage
 
Thought it was a first class product. Nice to see a glimpse of down town Saratoga Springs. The story about the owners of Nobles Promise was nice.

Any TV coverage of racing is a good thing, I switched over from TVG and really enjoyed today's show!

The coverage was pretty nice. I enjoyed seeing Andy. Let's not forget Richie's appearance either which was a welcome surprise for me. Always great to see or hear from him. Not every jockey can transition to something like this, but he just keeps showing how much of a gift he has for his new career. Lukas was a pistol today, wasn't he? Geez.

Versus is gonna be known as NBC Sports Network in the near future I heard. There's a new logo, but I don't know when it'll take effect. Makes sense to rebrand. I think a lot of people might go 'It's on Versus? Do we get that? I don't even know what that is.' but this way they're more likely to connect this to NBC the way you think of ESPN and ABC. If it's not on NBC, there's still a chance it'll be on their sports channel so they'll think to check that.

Crist and Beyer are always terrific. lol


If you realize it or not since Comcast purchased a controlling stake in NBC all of their stuff is better. They are changing the name to NBC something soon as well
