Screw ESPN2!

aross6 · 09-16-2013, 04:03 PM

Maybe NHRA can get some air time on the NFL Network... I mean after all, apart from the NFL Draft (late April) there's not really too much else going on in the Football World (arrests, domestic violence, and murders aside) during Drag Racing Season. Maybe it's about time for a move away from ESPN???

This channel switching at ESPN has been going on for years.
It's not only NHRA events that its happening to.
If NHRA and ESPN haven't worked out a solution by now........

The show that gets the higher ratings wins , Nascar sprint cup gets about 10 times higher viewership than nhra, also it is live,

Nascar fans are probably not happy because it was on espn2 not espn, why ratings.

If NHRA can put on a better show, it will get viewers back and then get the preferred time slot.

I hope that the sponsors for the pros are dumb enough to not realize that they are not getting their bang for the buck

This could be the end of the pros....

Maybe that is not so bad as sportsman can rise from the ashes of NHRA..

Go back to how it all started....

No pros, just SPORTSMEN racers..

Just a thought,
Bob

PS:
I thought that watching the pros was better than nothing...

I might have to rethink that.....

The TV coverage continues to leave me talking to myself. I PAY for ESPN2, they cut in to the finals at 10pm saying they will switch over to ESPNEWS, which I think is total BS but I turn to the channel and, guess what, its not on my TV package.

Now, if I want to watch it I can subscribe (like pay per view) and pay TWICE to watch the event coverage. As crazy as that is, I am a diehard and push the subscribe button on my remote to PAY for the second half of the coverage (after paying to have ESPN2 mind you) and it says that the channel is not available in my area. So I cant watch it even if I want to pay double to do so.

Now, I just clicked on NHRA.com and they posted that ESPN will do all of us a favor and re air the entire coverage tonight AT 3 TO 6AM!!!!!!!!! I don't know whether to laugh or cry its that funny.

Trust me Chris, unless you love T/F or TF/FC it's not even worth it. 9.5 minutes of P/S and 6 min. of PS/M. The rest John Force and family. Jim
