| ESPN; the epitome of bad coverage
Just when I thought that I couldn't find anything else to fault ESPN/ESPN Jr./ABC/Disney' s race coverage for, I reralized that I was mistaken.
I tried to watch qualifications yesterday. Really bad decision! I ended up following in on the net (the nascar.com pylon thingee) with commentary by MRN.
Why?, you ask.
Because I like to follow the scroll telling where each car has qualified. Hint, don't try this with Dr. Jerry and Rusty; it's an effort in futility. They scroll about five or six names then change cameras or cut to the booth for some award-winning commentary. They had a position graphic at the bottom of the screen but that was confusing and kind of hard to read.
I had really high hopes for ESPN when I heard they were coming back; I was remember the days of Dr. Jerry, Bob Jenkins and that crew. Boy, was I wrong!
From qualifying to pre-race to race coverage to post race, this bunch makes TNT coverage look good!!?? All TNT has going for it is abunch of over-paid, hairdo'd media hacks promoting themselves!
Good TV coverage, where arth thou?
