ESPN and NHRA ..... - 06/02/13 03:55 PM

..... this morning ....what a joke. THEY can't even display a qualifing show set to run at 1am ...ON TIME ... it was almost an hour late.

And consider that NHRA pays them 10 MILL per year ...for this kind of treatment ?....

Keep in mind that to ESPN, NHRA is a small niche sport / market. They have contracts with MLB, NBA, NFL, NCAA...... Sometimes things happen. They're not out to screw the drag racing fan.

Anyone remember " The Wide World of Sports"? ESPN kinda reminds me of it.

The Wide World of Sports was on ABC, Disney owns ABC, Disney also owns ESPN. It's in thier DNA.

At least we don't have to put up with Chris Economaki. He may have been a great sports announcer, but he sucked balls as a drag racing announcer. Think Paul Page only more idiotic.
