Make a good impression on the public, right?

This sort of behavior is why I have let my BASS membership expire. It
looks like FLW has a better idea of what bass fishing is about. I
don't WANT bass fishing to be another NASCAR.

Don't look now, but you're surrounded by NASCAR fans!!! It's ok, we're
both bass fishermen too. If you spend any time on either a NASCAR or a
bass fishin bulletin board, you might be a redneck. If you spend time
on both, you're definitely a redneck. d;^)

NASCAR is changing much like bass fishing. More about the money and the
show than the actual sport. You could change the names in some of the
posts here and they would fit right in over on the NASCAR board.
Letting memberships expire and not supporting sponsors are easy ways
for us to voice our displeasure. Complaining here helps too. Better
here than at the dinner table.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I am a big NASCAR fan. (I've been trying to
get the manager of the local Office Depot to get me one of those Carl
Edwards cardboard standups to go on my garage wall.)

I understand that professional BASS fishing is a business and needs to
be promoted to grow and make money. I just don't like the direction
that ESPN has taken BASS.

Point taken. My favorite driver left cup racing a few years ago and now
races trucks. I enjoy the truck racing more than cup now. Speed does a
decent job with the races. I like their shows better than Fox or NBC,
that's for sure. No hour and a half pre-race show. More racing. Don't
watch much fishing on tv these days but I can imagine even ESPN could
screw that up.

Good luck getting that CE standup.
