Can anyone tell me what happened to Sullivan and the ABC broadcasts. He
was MUCH better than Parker 'Wimpy' Johston, but as far as I know ABC
never said a word about it! I know, I could probably get the answer in
rec.autos.sport.indycar, but franly, I'm just too lazy.
Thanks,
Simon Goodwin
-->Frankly, I got awful tired of listening to him rant about "flat spots"
every
time a driver would spin, but I agree with you about Parker. I'd like to see
ABC/ESPN give Jeremy Dale a shot, his work during the sports car events this
year is some of the best I've seen in the States.<---
Parker has been the best thing to happen to Paul Page in the past 10
years!!!
I'm actually looking forward to the next CART event due to his insightful,
and enegertic commentary as opposed to the shill Sullivan, and the bafoon of
a commentator Tom Kendall...
As for Jeremy Dale, eh?.... His commentary isn't bad.. However his Canadian
accent, eh... is terribly annoying eh.........
Makes you want to take your interest and get the heck, Ought of ere... eh?!
:-)
He probably heard Page was coming back and couldn't get out of there fast
enough ;-)
Danny, along with Tommy Kendall, have gone back to the***pit, Sully driving a
Riley and Scott with the Whittington Bros. in the USRRC (which ought to give
him lots of free time<g>) and Tommy is competing in the ALMS driving with Jim
Matthews in his Ferrari 333.
Danny is also very involved in Southern California's new Irwindale Speedway, of
which he is a part owner.
Frankly, I got awful tired of listening to him rant about "flat spots" every
time a driver would spin, but I agree with you about Parker. I'd like to see

year is some of the best I've seen in the States.

Simon, can't help you with question but thought I say hi! Been a long
time!

Sorry, Canadians don't have an accent, unless of course you are ymenard!
But he may argue both counts! :-)
Pete
Muahaha ;-)
I have a "severe" accent, in both French and English. My French is as
different from "France French" than Texans to British people. As for my
English, it's much better in written than spoken.
Jean Reno in Godzilla sounds exactly like me! :)

Actually, your written english has progressed a long way from the
early days and the fact you have chosen to learn english is to your
credit! Growing up in a family where English, Quebecois French,
Parisenne French, Romanian and Gaelic were spoken I guess my
dad was right I never payed attention! Its all I can do to speak english
but at least I don't have any accent! :-)

Thanks for the nice comments. Looking at old post on dejanews.com is
hilarious, both in terms of context (I won't go into that anymore) and
English grammar/vocabulary. I chosen to learn English because us
French-Qubecers have no real choice ;). We are a small 9 million people
society surrounded by over 300 million English-speaking North Americans,
with the rest of the Canada on our left and US down there.
I also have a book on the left of my Computer that I would never live
without, and it's my Harrap's French - English dictionnary ;-)
Did I told also I know how to speak Latin ? :)
Ah well I haven't included the different ways of talking in our own way
also.. subdivisions after subdivisions of language differences, between down
here in Montreal and per example in the Saguenay region :)
I think Pete you are from Ontario, no ?

Yes, I live in Ontario but was born and spent much of my youth
in Montreal. Still a Canadiens and Expo fan but haven't much to cheer
about lately!
Latin, sucks! :-)
Have a good one!

That Paul Page is without a doubt one of the most annoying commentators I've
ever heard. I was glad to see him go to the IRL, that's where he belongs, with
all the other lames. Bob Varsha did a much better job! Not to mention Paul Page
is one goofy looking dude! Go back to the IRL !!!!
ABC offered Danny a new contract with a huge cut in pay. He said bye.
