Tell me about it, I missed the first 5 minutes trying to figure out where the heck ESPN Classic was on my digital cable channels. They've switched back over now. Technically they didn't not cover the racing, they just did it in typical screwball fashion. I did manage to get traumatized by Hank singing New York, New York. Still shuddering.

They missed the first 15 minutes and just popped in, mid sentence, referring to the Blue Grass that they had not shown us!

They will be showing the race. What is the problem? Are you really that upset that you missed the first few minutes of talking? Hell, I wished the game had gone longer so I wouldn't have had to hear Jones talking about Eight Belles yet again. I was wishing I could have made the lacrosse match go to overtime like they do on that beer commercial.

My prediction when I saw that KG was the most recent poster in this thread was that he was going to argue that lacrosse fans would say the same thing about racing coverage causing them to miss a lacrosse game.

His actual post was far better though.

It's just the lack of respect that they give this sport . What happened today, is a normal occurrence for ESPN. Very typical.
