Yeah, I'm glad your priorities are straight. A race caller getting excited about a jockey he represents is of much bigger concern than a friend doing something stupid to himself that might cause damage to his vision.

You are now the official paragon of virtue for DT!

If you think that Is DrugS main problem then either you aren't a true friend or don't pay enough attention to him. My man Douglas has worse issues.

Last time I checked this was a horse racing board. Post your concerns about Doug's issues on contactlense.com.

I can't believe you guys are going on for this long about some crappy maiden claimer. I thought the call was good, who cares who was riding the horse that made the big move.

Enough of this childish bullsh1t.

Nobody is putting a gun to your head to listen to the calls or make unnecessary accusations, either.

You are right...I should use the mute button. But because I have an opinion about his call last night doesn't make it unnecessary. If that's the case then why have a board for people to speak their minds ?

Because this forum isn't supposed to be for complaining about the minutia of a call of a meet you said yourself you don't even bet. It just brings down the whole place.

Luke was great friends with Chuck and always made an excited call when one of his horses won. Was he not supposed to do that??? The whole premise of this thread is ridiculous.

This what I'm talking about,

























pure entertainment.

Now if Vic changes his calls for you will you be charging him for your" Bite Me " or will that be on the house?????????

I'm surprised to see a couple here seem so horrified at the alleged rudeness in stonegossards post...

Where was he rude? He had a valid opinion, stated it, and backed it up.

He sure as hell doesn't need me to defend him but I will anyway cause he's right.

He's knowledgeable, articulate, he's got balls and has not been disrespectful in the least.

A couple of you are being drama queens and instead of being so mortally offended should go back and read the original post.

Maybe it was the 13 straight hours of responding to every single post in this thread with the same narcissistic dreck, stretching this mess out to 7 pages that grew wearisome... Dunno, just a guess

Who exactly was knocking, or rooting against, Joel Rosario in this thread?

The answer, for those of you who are confused, which appears to be the majority, is NOBODY.

There's quite a double standard on this board.

I don't know who's a bigger tard here. Stone for being himself, or any of us for replying to him more than once.

I respond only to the people that post directly to me. Now if I didn't say a thing I would be considered chickens#it. If I do respond to those who say something to me then I am accused of carrying on. It's funny....people like yourself who don't agree say my replies are , as you put it, narcissistic dreck. Big words for a small minded person.

Thank you for the kind words. I think some of these people are just starstruck by VS and will defend him no matter what. Kind of like groupies I guess. Perhaps Drama Queen Groupies. Sounds about right.

Most of the time, I could care less what the announcer is saying, because my computer is in my living room and my wife is watching a movie and she would throw my ass out if I had the sound turned up. With that being said......until Stauffer announces during a stretch call, "WATCH OUT JOEL, THE 6 IS COMING UP THE RAIL", I am going to have to say I would care less whether he sells concessions, serves food up in the boxes or however many jobs he wants to take on. He isnt driving a tractor between races, nor is he shooting buckshot at the other horses when they are running against Rosario, he is trying to relay (especially to people who are at the track who mostly have their views obscured while the race is being run) what he interprets is going on during a race.

I actually agree with this and see it as no worse than Churchill having Mark Johnson as their on-air handicapper and announcer.
