Bob probably woke up this morning with a hard on, hoping Leigh’s NBC contract is through 2018 or beyond.

Just as long as they keep the current broadcast crew; ESPN NEVER has good broadcasters...

So will commercial breaks be shorter or longer? Will I be able to watch full length replays on the ESPN App? Will I have to sit through the same god awful Chevy ad every break? Will Tony Romo be announcing? Can we get Scottish announcers instead?

I have mixed feeling about this. I could do without David Hobbs, but the rest of the NBC broadcast crew is first rate. I’d vote for them cutting the cord with Hobbo and bringing the rest of the crew over with Will Buxton promoted. The biggest problem I see is that ABC’s coverage of about half the Indycar races the past few years has sucked compared to NBCSN. They seemed to be showing the wrong camera half the time, and Alan Bestwick always leaves me hoping that he’ll choke on his microphone. On the other hand, F1 on ESPN/ABC is a big step closer to a cheaper cable package.

While some may complain about the current broadcast team, I don’t mind them at all.

Think of what we could get. Imagine listening to Derek Daily, Ralph Sheheen yell at you all day while Eddie Jordan dances around the pits all day acting like a goober.

Yeah, nah, yeah m8. I am still going to continue buying VPN and SkyF1 access. I don’t watch American TV because I can’t stand fuckall of the ads and commercial breaks.

But if they were to get Will Buxton away from NBC Sports F1 I might give it a cursory glance.

Marshall Pruett just posted on FB that he’s heard from someone at ESPN the world feed supplied announcers will be used and the hours of programming link up with on track activity, meaning no pre or post race shows

From a Nascarcasm tweet:

“Tell you what, this Max Verstappen, I like this guy. Call him ‘Ver-happen’, because he makes things happen.”

You know you want this more than you think......and you totally read that in Gruden’s voice.
