There is a lot more to it than meets the eye I would bet. I know that motocross racers are athletes. Golfers? Not so much.Bartender Cabbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05623813045706584212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32512109.post-56201170280599994532013-05-13T03:47:43.357-07:002013-05-13T03:47:43.357-07:00Fox uses what I call MYOPIC VISION.

It looks more like a highlight reel or infomercial for certain commercial entities. If it's not a Hendrick or one of its subsidiary cars, a Toyota, or Edwards and his Subway sponsored Ford, it won't be shown. No wonder Phoenix Racing is closing its doors.<br /><br />If you've been following Fox since Daytona, the message from thing consist of 3 things. Dale Jr, Danica, and the Gen 6 car. They're all so great if you believe what the shills have to say. When was the last time a a 28th place driver who was 3-6 laps down was ever interviewed? Never until Danica showed up. But then she's the new savior of NA$CAR. She's going to save NA$CAR from itself and return NA$CAR to its former glory like in the days of Winston Cup and before the idiot son Brian France took over. Ain't gonna happen. Simple as that. Not unless the Frances bring in an outsider with brains (Humpy Wheeler) and a willingness to listen to the fans (Humpy Wheeler) about not only the racing but also how the races are covered and presented on TV.<br /><br />When you can make races like Darlington and Martinsville look boring, you know the coverage is piss poor.Mad Mikienoreply@blogger.com
