The king of the obvious
Another year of Nascar racing draws to a close and I am again left with distaste for the way ESPN calls a race. Dale Jarrett is clearly coming into his own as a commentator and is enjoyable to listen to because of his knowledge and insight. On the other hand we have good old Rusty Wallace, the king of repeating the obvious. I have yet to hear anything original or insightful come out of his mouth. His usual yelling type rant is simply a regurgitation of what you either just saw or some other commentator just said. I was hopeful at the start of the season when we were told that Russell would take more of a backstage role, unfortunately they want to still stick this inarticulate boob in front of the camera. Maybe Billie Mays needs a cohort to hawk TV junk since they both seem to have to yell everything they say. Maybe after Rusty’s departure the rest of the crew will finally be able to look at Stevens hack performance and level the critcism it so deserves. Apparently Rusty’s spawn learned how to drive from him, Steven regularly accuses others of not driving smart when he is simply an ill tempered hack bouncing off of everyone else.
Hopefully 2009 will yield less Wallaces (MIke and Kenny excepted)
