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.
