ORIGAMI SPIDERS! UNNECESSARILY INTRICATE GREETING CARDS!! I think you see where I’m going… and if you don’t, it’s to the booby hatch, and I’m not talking about my man chesticles. [...]

Good point, John.

I won’t tell you how much I admire this man and if I am ever at a crossroads in life I want to take a chapter out of this fine man’s book. If there ever was someone to admire it is Sam.

At some points he just stopped in mid-sentence. He was repetitive and stumbled alot. But it was his first time in the booth, so I cut him some slack. I thought he was better in Long Beach, but not good.

I THINK AA MAY BE BACK ON THERE GAME. BOURDAIS NEVER SHOWED ME MUCH IN HIS CART DAYS, SUNDAY HE WAS THE DRIVER THAT MADE AN ERROR.

But Marco was willing to take the blame, and we didn’t have overhead, camera-hung-from-wire coverage with which to see whether SB was accelerating to pass (stupid) or was at a constant speed, or maybe had slowed slightly. I’m not an apologist for SB. I just wish that we had cameras zooming overhead..

He throws his hands in the air as if to blame Marco. Now Marco has had his share of blunders, but all Bourdais had to do was tap the brakes to alleviate that situation. Yet nobody picked up on that in the booth. I realize no race driver likes to brake, but the alternative is a heck of a lot better.
As far as Helio, he is driving like he usually does, looking just past his 2 front tires.

Ribbs in the broadcast boot to the list of things that only I seem to care for…

Yes, he sounds like a weather radio but if you found him “painful” to listen to then you have never heard Dave South call a football game.
