You could be like the John Madden of TVG.

You could go from track to track in your trailer and call it the "stauffer cruiser".

Congrats Vic and happy holidays.

Have you watched TVG dude?


He'd be John Wooden there. Especially after he kisses Ken Rudolph!

Get it?

John.. Wooden...

Ken Rudolph might be a terrific guy. He might be the salt of the earth.. He is the single worst listen on TVG. I really scratch my head how any exec. can listen to him on air and suggest that he is anything but completely miscast. I don't have any reason to dislike Rudolph, I just find his complete lack of ANY knowledge about racing a horrible disservice to the audience.. In fact, it is bordering on crimnal. There are a ton sharp folks in the industry that could help promote the sport and be entertaining. Some days I go from listening to 3 hours of good Horse radio on ATR and then they switch to TVG at noon. While the formats are completely different, which I get, TVG can just be awful. Save Mat virtually nobody does the work. Rudolph comments are so off base that you wonder if why the heck he is allowed on air?

So if Vic takes any air time from Rudolph I will consider it a huge upgrade. At the very least Vic has had a hand in the business long enough to have a clue.

I agree. I really enjoy Vic's calls and look forward to seeing him on TVG. It would be an added bonus if he was able to take any air time away from Ken Rudolph. Like Freddy, I have nothing personal against the guy. But some of his statements/analysis are just mind boggling and I can't figure out what kind of audience he thinks he playing for. He just seems like he is constantly coming off as a fool.

Carothers is probably a nice guy but I can't listen to him. It amazes me that a guy with that horrible of a voice is on tv.

Wow....post of the year...I have never agreed with something more I have read here in a while then this....How he has a job on tvg is a head scratcher and when they construct the TVG "all-star" ticket and give him a leg I am baffled

And good luck Vic with TVG, your call in the Vanity was my favorite call of the year
