Now this is WELL SAID.....

I can even deal with Mark and Mike. They aren't the problem, they at least have a clue as to what is going on.

Now, I'm not sure if the rest is an attempt at humor, but if it is, please don't quit your day job. I just think that having idiots like you have on during the day is an insult to the people betting from home. I have no complaints with the way the graphics are displayed or anything like that. It is what it is. I just happen to think the overall product would be improved by having people that are knowledgable of the game on air. I guess suggestions weren't really welcomed like the oldest person in America that still follows wrestling said. And as exciting as the prospects of a tour of the OTB facilities in beautiful Schenectady are, I'm going to have to decline. I'm too afraid to take my mask off.
You REALLY gotta come up with new material.....you don't bring any ideas to the table and sound like a "broken" record. No need for personal attacks either, JAY hopefully....no offense taken.

i just saw that... amazing! out of curiosity, I checked the ESPN family of networks programming for Saturday, and instead of showing racing on, say ESPN Classic, they're showing re-runs of car shows from LA and NYC... One would think that they could show LIVE racing from LA and NYC, but no...

I think that would require something called work and who wants to do that now a days. Honestly they really dont have to send people or trucks out there. I think we would be satisifed with an inturuption from the car show to show a live race and maybe a little commentary from the studio like they do with boxing. Who really wants to struggle through another Hank Goldberg commentary anyways.

that makes way too much sense for the folks at ESPN... maybe they could have Lou Holtz give a pep talk to Curlin.

If that would happen, Curlin would end up on suspension just like at all the schools where Lou coached!
