    Ok Ok my parents told me not to mock the afflicted but who the hell hired this pair of twits on CBS. Look I'm ok with a few screw ups here and there in fact when Hobbs and Co do it on Speed it makes it fun as they bag on each other for it.

    What I cannot stand is basic pronunciation getting buggered up and as I am originally one of Her Majesty's subjects I'm not cutting Daly a break either.

    Here are some new drivers that were in the British Grand Prix.

    1, Feeseekeller
    2, One Montoya
    3, Keemee Rake-onen
    And dont forget the new team Tow-row Wrose-owe.

    There has to be someone better that these two?

    I hate that CBS has been covering a lot of the recent F races. I to much prefer the guys on speed. I missed this mornings race as I am out of town. I'll catch the dived speed version when I get back. There is no excuse for the pronunciation thing. If your around the sport you learn to say it right. I was in speech classes (think little square bus) for several years in elementary school and I can say all the names and teams right. Except for Scott Speed, I have trouble with his.

    I think that was the last CBS race for the year. Or at least for a while. Hopefully anyway.

    While I am thankfull that you can actually see F-1 in the USA ( I remember the days when you could not) - the coverage was very week... I liked Sheehen when he was doing the Rally coverage, but it seems to me he is motorsports lite... and not really into it!

    Derick Daily's commentary is about as good as his driving... better than most, but not good enough!

    What actually is amazing is that Ecclestone thinks that having the race on CBS... is doing more for F-1 than having it on Speed.... Europeans ( no offense to all you guys in Europe) just dont get it when dealing with Americans... Speed has a great group of honed announcers that know what is going on etc... would it not be better to give them access to all the races and have them do all the American TV?... Guess not!


    Back in the 80's Varsha used to go to all the races etc... now they cant get credentials ( or are willing to pay ) so they call the race from a studio... still great commentary, but I remember all the cool interviews done in the 80's with limited technology... and that was by Bisigano... who was terrible...could you imagine how good the coverage would be with all those guys on the ground actually there... just look at their Le Mans coverage....

    Well, we did get their opinion of "blocking" didn't we? I mean, i don't think I could sleep without having that settled.

    And don't forget "Takamah" Sato!
