Default Re: I didn't say they were bad, I just said to many....

I guess over the years these creepy comments just hit my "ignore" button ;-)

Default NONE of them should be sacked. Varsha, the encyclopedia as noted by snoogins, Hobbs,

who has actually driven in F1, and Matchett was a Benneton mechanic when Schu started. They make a great team. I can't even imagine an F1 broadcast without Varsha, anymore than I can imagine the Dodgers without Vin Scully. I also started with listening to Varsh on ESPN. I liked it much better when they were actually at the track though.

Default Come on now!! The combination of Danny Sullivan and Bobby Unser for the Indy 500...

...was pure comedy GENIOUS!!! As in, it was comical to watch and listen to them try to do a good job. They always contradicted each other. It was great!

Default Oh no.....that would be awful...I like Danny, but he sucks when he came to

announcing...I watched him rehearse his lines before a broadcast...it was painful....some drivers are just not meant to be TV guys. And for that matter...there are a lot of women who shouldn't either..their voices are too high pitch to carry well.

Default Let's see, Eddie Cheever, Mike Joy, and.. Darrel Waltrip. Wouldn't it be a riot

to hear "boogity boogity" when the lights go out?
Actually, MIke Joy knew more about F1 than I gave hime credit for the year he did it. "Keep the current group son." <Steve Matchett voice>

The only one that was any good was Derek Daily. At least he's got some personality.

I wouldn't change any of them, but I do think Matchett has a crush on Jarno Trulli.
