Ok, so while this thread was most entertaining, I didn't think I needed to listen to the call, just sit back an enjoy the craziness.

I finally did.

And now that I've seen what obvious favoritism sounds like, I have come to the conclusion that John G. Dooley must be the jock agent for at least half the colony here if that's all it takes.

It's funny, I've never met someone who you could tell loved their job so much so fast. Dooley's that guy.

Ha, even when he's walking around and NOT announcing, if you get him talking about something, he's just as positive and upbeat and seemingly thrilled to be a part of it as anyone I've ever met at the track.
