I'm so proud of y'all! No ESPN2 complaints!

Why complain?

I watch a lot of sports, and LIVE events running long are just part of the deal. I would be P!SSED if I watched a whole game only for it to cut away on the hour so I miss the ending.

Like Justin said, set the DVR to run long, and all is well with the world. Plus, there is the added bonus of fast forwarding thru all of the commercials, redundant-repetitive interviews and as much of PPs inane chatter as possible.

With that being said, the WNBA is a sham of a league that ESPN/ABC/Disney are being forced to foot the bill for by the league's owners, the NBA. You see, the NBA forces their TV partners to PAY to air WNBA games, or they don't get the NBA TV contract. If the NBA had to pay the freight for that albatross, the WNBA would have been gone years ago. NONE of the franchises are profitable as stand-alone entities.

Unless I missed it....no one complained about delays to both qualifying and final elims!

Except for me = had a short between the headset!!!


I forgot to add the extra hour to the DVR time!

Y'all are making me blush!
I'm off to cover the White Sox play-in game with the Twins. Exciting, but nothing like standing behind the starting line and feeling, hearing and seeing those nitro cars rocket down the track!

See y'all in Richmond!

Woo Hoo go Twinkies (aka Twins here in MN) beat those White Suxs!

 

[Mike]

That dang ESPN2, my pig Dinner dies on friday and not one stinkin word all weekend

Mike and Jim, give me a break. There have been many athletes from other countries that have come to the United States for the sole reason of being on the Olympic team. I haven't heard anyone *****in' about that.

Jim Lefebvre managed the China baseball team and is a major player in setting up their lower programs....I didn't hear anyone crying about that either.

i don't give a damn about the north side team....but go SOUTHSIDERS!!!

 

[Mike]

Mine was humor to but my pig really did die on thursday.

 

[john]

sorry about your twins, but it was an entertaining game to watch. i only got sprayed with champagne a few times! glad i didn't get stopped on the way home. it would have been difficult to explain to the policeman why i smelled of champagne! LOL.

I don't care much either way, but I think Ozzie Guillen should have his own talk show. It would be called "What are you #$@%@$ Stupid or something? You don't know !@#%#@%. How do you have a #$%^#^^$@ job?" Skip Bayless would be his co-host and the show couldn't be over until he made Skip cry at least once. Check local listings ....

 

[john]

chris, you are way too funny. you could be ozzie's co-host!

during out pre-game chat with ozzie tonight someone asked him if he had talked to starting pitcher john danks. ozzie, without using a curse word, said no. he had just woken up from his afternoon nap so he could come outside and talk to the media. it was quite entertaining in "ozzie speak."

 

[Ted]

ok - i'll complain.....or maybe nit-pick.
when breaking for commercial - do not show burnout,
break, then back and cars are staged.
actually, i have seen 'special interest' stories shuved between the burnout
and the race before too.
burnout and race are one entity - do not split

YES! and when the first bulb is lit, SHUT THE HELL UP!!!

Residents of Chicago, beware ... Wrigley and all of the bars around Wrigley have agreed to stop selling alcohol in the 7th inning of clinch games.

So if the Cubs win the Pennant or even the World Series for the first time in a 100 years, it will be a dry party.

 

[vegasnitro]

chris, you are way too funny. you could be ozzie's co-host!

Not me, not enough racing content ...

I have decided that Skip couldn't take the daily abuse, he just doesn't have the constitution, so Ozzie's favorite target Jay Marriotti could be the other co-host on a rotational basis with Skip. Same rules apply, show is not over until Ozzie makes them cry.

Al Capone ran South Chicago in the 20's! Until the Valentine's day Massacre of 1929! That pretty much ended Capone's rein!
