I tuned in to watch the women bowl and instead there's some neck-car race.  Thanks, ESPN.  Oooo, a left turn!  Oooo, another left turn!  Don't know if I can stand the excitement.

Dumb red neck sport?

How many enigners are involved in Nascar, if you only knew the half of what goes into making a car go left at those speeds you'd have a little more respect for those of us that make a living at ohh another left turn, is bowling not the same thing. a ball making another left turn into the pocket opp look another pretty ball delivered by a pretty woman for another left turn to the pocket.

true. but my point is nascar is not just a red neck sport any more.

Just tired of hearing how one thing is better than the other and blah blah blah. Do what we do one weekend, and tell me that any red neck could come in set the car up, make adjustments, and be that smooth and precise for 4 hours. I know it's just a left turn, but behind the scenes is so much more than that and people take it for granted. A little respect, just like the pba not any one can just step in and drive the car. The foreign influx has proven that.

Yeah. I really don't agree that it's a redneck sport. Its just a coincidence that some of the people that watch nascar have mullets and look like the typical redneck. But I know many people that watch nascar that are not rednecks. And I know what you mean. And I agree,

Packers??? Who the hell likes the Packers anymore besides their own Cheeseheads?? I'd tell Aaron Rodgers he could sit on the bench and learn from the best in Brett Favre or take a hike and learn from someone else not named Brett Favre, Tom Brady, or Peyton Manning

Then I wouldn't be able to watch it. Just recently, my family took channels off of our plan with Dish Network(To save money) and ESPN Classic just happened to be one of the channels,

I know nobody cares about just one person not be able to watch it, but I'm just sayin.

Yeah it would make sense for ESPN to lose money just to please a few bowling nuts... I'm being sarcastic if you didn't catch on.

For what it's worth, pretty much anything other than the NFL would have been pre-empted for the NASCAR Sprint Cup race.  NASCAR is a huge draw, and ESPN has a big investment in them.  And in fact, they're pre-empting World Series of Poker coverage right now to show the NASCAR Nationwide Series race.  (Both events were delayed by rain and wind caused by the hurricanes and tropical storms off the coast)
