FL,
Totally agree obviously... Don't know if you heard Moran on "At the Races" about the time of his Newsday departure, but he was uncertain about what was ahead for him. I told him that I thought he would come away from the new media experience refreshed and enervated and he admitted recently when back on the show that he's more motivated and more excited about his work and voice then he has been in years. He came off for a long time as curmudgeonly and difficult, but I think it was out of frustration at his situation. He's not everyone's cup o' tea, but I like him and his work very much.
Gary West is another guy that is so tied up by space limitations and travel restrictions that it's affected his enthusiasm. Even some guys WITHIN racing media outlets are getting frustrated and are looking for exits and new podiums.
The Net is the best thing that's ever happened for racing's future.
