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.

I tried a search on Delgado and she is apparently either Velvick's wife,
fiancee and/or housemate and allegedly will try professional fishing. "Joshuall" wrote in message . .. Once again ESPN proves that quantity doesn't always equa quality.

With the emergence of the new "Idiot of BASS Fishing", G-Man Swindle, I
think Ike will get over it just fine. Talk about an "Ike wannabe", Swindle should have been disqualified for several events at the least. Ike acted like a jerk last year when he tore the mast off his boat and tossed it in the water along with the flag, but at least he didn't endanger the lives of felloe fisherman and spectators like G-Idiot did. Then he had the balls to claim that he lives in the fast lane and where he comes from this was just hard competativeness. But alas, the sponsors must have bitch slapped him into reality and then came the "heart-felt" teary eyed apology on national TV. Ike lost some sponsors over his rantings, hopefully G-Punkman will too! Mick "Joshuall" wrote in message . .. Once again ESPN proves that quantity doesn't always equa quality.

Josh the bad bear -- God Bless America Josh The Bad Bear I went to the weigh-in on the second day of the Classic and saw in person Gerald Swindle's "weigh-in". If he had been disqualified then why did he even show up and weigh his fish? After his little speech he had the folks in the audience eating out of his hands. The next day at one of his sponsor's booth he was holding court with an autograph line longer than I saw for anyone. I guess the Alabama folks like their home boy no matter what. John W |
