Once again ESPN proves that quantity doesn't always equa quality. Does
anyone else feel llike me? I thought the coverage was disjointed and lacked
significan't "on water" coverage. And who the heck is Mary Deglado anyway?
If they wanted participation from the fairer sex why didn't they get someone
from the women's circuit who missed the cut. Someone who would know the
difference between a spining reel and a baitcaster. But Mary isn't my real
beef, she's just another human being trying to kill lunch.

I thought there was to much in studio banter and special time fillers than
there was actual coverage of what was going on on the water. For instance .
.. . Mark Sanders to Zona for the 800 millionth time "Do you think Ike will
ever get over this incident?" (refering to last year disqualification).
Well . . . NO if you mornons show it every twenty min or show it every time
you cut to him on the water ! ! ! ! I like both of the commentators so this
was really not thier fault. This was bad producing in my opinion.

Don't get me wrong, I'm from the generation who was happy to hear the
winners even mentioned on sports center years ago, so I'm happy to see
coverage at all. I'm just of the opinion that while there was a ton of
coverage it was pretty lousy over all. Scale of one to ten I'd rate it at
best a 5. Do let me know how you guys feel and rate the coverage over all.
And before I get lost in this opinion I thought it was great classic and
loved the outcome. Couldn't make for better potential... oh yeah one last
beef.. what ever happened to those good ole Ray Scott weigh in shows ? The
current guy looks like he fell off a bar stool onto one of the espn
producers (I was going to say espn producer's sisters but that would have
been crass. Weigh in coverage was a 2 for me.
