sheadtoo 1 Posted September 30, 2007 like they need to make more money on advertising, no wonder it is the fastest growing sport in the world there are ads all over everything from the "nextel cup" to all the sponsors of the races and all the sponsors on the cars and the race suits. add to that the fact the every time one of the drivers opens there mouth it is the Pepsi Chevrolet car or what ever they name drop all day long Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted October 1, 2007 Well, you are only missing them driving around in circles. Safe to say that when you are taking a leak during the commercial, you aren't really missing much Of course, while you are sitting there watching it, you aren't seeing much Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Millions have succumbed to: The Pet Rock American Idol Who wants to be a Millionaire Disco Acid/Stone washed jeans Mullets All pretty much shown now to be a waste of time, energy, and money.

I can do without the race audio for the entire race. Just like I can do without football announcers. Why can't we just crank up the surround sound and listen to the action?

Why can't we just crank up the surround sound and listen to the action? back when i had the big satellite dish and there was no direct tv or dish network....i would get some races in live feed... no commercials or announcers..... you could work around the house and just listen to the race..you KNEW when there was trouble in turn 2 i recall back in the day when MNF did a game with no announcers...that didnt suck either...let us hear the PA guy...but thats it..announcers usually keep us from having conversations with people we are watching the game with...useless babble..

Last year I was watching the Boston Bruins (don't ask why) and for some reason there were no announcers. It was incredible to watch without having to listen to idiots and to be able to hear the audience (all 3000) of them and listen to the action on the ice. I can't think of a better game right now to watch and be able to listen than the NFL. Seriously, what the fock does Al Michaels and John Madden add to the game? All the do is talk over the action and not allow me to hear what's going on on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nospk 230 Posted October 1, 2007 Ever watch golf? You're missing most of the action even when they are on live, not to mention that the play continues thru all the commercials and they show basically just the highlights of the majority of all the golfers who are competing.

Snoopy1 0 Posted October 1, 2007 Y'all are watching NASCAR wrong. Here's the correct method, presuming a normal(non rain-delayed race). Turn on race 3 minutes before it starts, skip, interviews, stupid feature stories, national anthem and celebrities talking about how they are so excited to see first race. Green flag drops watch first 40 laps through first pit stop. During this time drink 3 beers and a eat a couple of sandwiches. Beers and sandwich should cause some drowsiness, if not, consume more beer. Proceed to take 2 hour Sunday afternoon nap. Wake up for crash filled last 40 laps. After the checkered flag falls change channel and watch The Simpsons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I happen to believe that golf "matters". Fair enough. I should have said team sports. Forget the commercials, with golf sometimes they show TIGER and other guys when they hit good shots. Sorry, that's not a sport that matters. Don't get me wrong, I love golf. but if Tiger is in it, they might show the 4th place guy hit like 4 shots all day.

Well. my buddy used to dip and the act didn't bug me, but the cup or bottle was a little gross. What sickens me now is seeing young kids do it and how bad it potentially can be.
