"How in the WORLD can you make such a ludicous claim, my FRiend?!

"SHEEEESH, sometimes I realize how much more washin' needs to done on the brain of yers...LOL!!"

Yeah, I know, they washed my brain out with cold water Woolite, to save the environment. :^D

It's a PR advantage, Mud. Don't get me wrong, because I like both the Waltrip brothers.

What goes on out in the track sometimes gets pretty dirty, from what I understand. Ya' ever seen guys giving the finger, etc. on the track? Dale Sr. used to do it every once in awhile, when guys would cut him off, or bump him. Yet Dale Sr. was the king of that game.

Now if the guys in the broadcast booth are on your side, they don't comment on the bumping, and nudging, etc. You can get away with it, and still have the PR (and the fans) on your side. Obviously, it's an advantage to bump and block, etc. If you're a big name, and popular, you can get away with it.

Someone bumps or nudges Michael, and big brother Daryl is gonna talk about it, and so are his buddies in the booth. And that is an advantage, IMO. Does that sound "ludicous"? (what is ludicous, anyway?) LOL!

FRegards,
Wool Lite.

Outrageously ludicous...especially if the bias is commonly perceived by you and other race fans. So, yer saying that on the race track on any particular day, the fact that DeeDubyuh is yappin' to a televison audience somehow provides an unfair advantage to EmDubyuh?! I disagree that it impacts the running of the race in the least. If DeeDubyuh ain't willing to point out his brother's questionable tactics, one of the other announcers surely would, IMHO, and in any event, the natural bias does not--cannot--effect the running of the race, IMHO.

Then again, I don't know much about NASCAR...LOL!!

FReegards...MUD
