Everyone keeps begging for more television coverage... Well we got it.

They showed that Nascar crash a bunch of times this morning on ESPN too.

When the cameras are present, this is what you get.

I hope the NTRA doesn't take away the safety accreditation.

Not exactly a great analogy. This was an accident outside of competition and unrelated to the Derby. The Nascar crash was during a race.

However, I understand why it was on, I just think it's unfortunate.

It is unfortunate, I agree.

But you and I both know these accidents happen every morning. There just isn't anyone there to see it.

When outside media shows up, they usually show the extremes of anything.

They won't show the replay of the Stephen Foster on CNN, but they'll show horses and/or people in an accident.

Just like they won't have a spot just showing traffic flowing nicely, but they'll feature a grisly wreck.
