Re: Where has Paul Page gone?

Why is it that Paul Page always had sidekicks that, well, sounded just slow and old?! Personally I think Danny Sullivan did a good job with analysis, but he, Tom Sneva, and Bobby Unser were quite unbearable at times. I even remember good ol' Danny couldn't half call one of the races because he was coughing so hard! But I tell you what, I'd rather have any of the aforementioned guys before I hired SAM POSEY! Goodness, what a pansy! Bob Varsha, Danny Sullivan (however old he sounds), Rick DeBruhl, and Jerry Punch would be my choice. Oh, and Jack Arute, but I'd keep that stick (you know "the stick," the one that the crew chief wacks the fuelman on the ass with when a car should come in) as far away from him as possible! He spent more time during the 1994 Indy 500 talking about the stick than he did about the cars on the track! Sundown

He is well known as the worst commentator ever. We only had him twice per year since he was covering the Canadian CART races (or IndyCar back in the days) on the CBC with Brian Williams for the past 15years I think now. Fortunately this year they didn't come back since the race moved to another channel ;) I'm sorry but the guy was senile! He *always* said the same things each race. We always had the same bloody remarks about "That's not smoke that's water smoke!" or the SEEMENT walls (they aren't cement walls!). Oh and he insult Paul Tracy all the time on national Canadian TEEVEE, with his accent that makes Buddy Baker sound like a New Yorker. Here is one of his famous quote that he tells at least 1-2 times per race : Brian Williams : "Thank you Bobby, I know you have a planet to catch" Bobby Unser : "Now Tham thar is cawled marbuls, And tham thar thangs are rolled up lattle-itty-bitty pieces of the tahrs, an' if ya's drive over tham, ya's might wand up hittin' that thar see-ment wall..."

Speaking of commentators, was saddened to hear of the passing of Larry Nuber a couple months ago....some form of cancer I believe. You might remember he called the race at Darlington where Elliott won the first Winston million in 1985. Like him or not, spent many Sunday afternoons with Larry and Bob Jenkins in the 80's watching Nascar on ESPN. On Thu, 28 Sep 2000 22:08:19 -0500, Tim 'Sundown' Traylor <[email hidden]> wrote:

I'd go with Jackie Stewart and David Hobbs calling F1, CART or ALMS races. Ned Jarret and Benny Parsons on the NASCAR side. Really like hearing old tapes of Jackie calling Winston Cup races...drivers may not make the most professional broadcasters, but they certainly are the most interesting. I am not a fan of Sam Posey either, that guy sounds like someone who has no interest in seeing a woman naked. ::) In article <8qvh5v$vtv$[email hidden]>, [email hidden] wrote: > Who cares where he is?

>>>Who cares where he is? Paul Page is the most annoying motorsports >>>commentator in the entire world!! Actually, that would be Bobby Unser (the only man who can put a positive spin on Little Al running 20th, "I think he's cooling just his tires"). I met Paul Page this past weekend in the paddock in Houston. He's one heck of a nice guy, and very willing to talk racing with anyone who'll listen (of course, I'm biased, he took the time to compliment my Team Lotus commemorative t-shirt). Theron Houston
