Good News, Bad News I hate Johnnie Cochran for all of the obvious reasons. But it turns out that he is seeking the end to NASCAR as we know it. I don't like NASCAR either. Last weekend, while waiting for hockey to come on, I found two golf events, a NASCAR race, and an Indy car race on tv. While I am starting to see the appeal of golf as a hobby, I don't consider it a sport and couldn't possibly watch it on tv. I switched back and forth between NASCAR and Indy for a little while. The differences were striking considering both races were nothing more than a bunch of guys (and one woman) turning left. The Indy announcers were well spoken and could talk about the physics and strategies involved with the race. The NASCAR announcers had thick southern accents (nothing wrong with that, but they don't play well on television unless you are courting a specific audience) and had a style that hyped the small positional changes that kept occurring in the race. It was clear that they were doing a very narrow play-by-play without any sort of ability to see the bigger picture. There's a grand prix race coming to downtown Denver this summer. Everyone I know wants to go see it. But bring the NASCAR guys in here, and I don't think anyone would show up. So, back to Johnnie Cochran: good luck to you. |
