It's hard to get behind this horse (who I admit I love) when the owners have such a poor reputation. Jackson and Padua have been screaming about transparency and when asked about the details of their purchase of Curlin said "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" And they are the ones who are out.

too funny!!!! your friend sounds like my kinda guy!

I was going through Kenny Mayne withdrawal so I can't say that I had 100% good time in terms of the commentating although they weren't doing anything I could point to as terrible. I was momentarily taken aback by the Curlin's owners and ESPN crack but then I chuckled. It's even funnier now as I try to picture the meeting where the producers discuss whether it's a good idea. I'm sure whoever suggested it had fun offering up the snark.

Is there any way to get Hank to do all his segments pre-taped? Cuz some of us would appreciate taking the nails-on-chalkboard element of the show out. You know I think I'd enjoy a reverse-Godzilla where they film Hank and then dub him in Japanese while offering English subtitles.

That's about the only way to redeem his segments. NOBODY likes him. He's ALWAYS red, disheveled, and slurry. And wrong.
