Is that OK with you?
Oh, and on the book thing, yes I've read some books where I actually felt something. Most notably Tom Wolfe. I don't get much out of Tom Clancy and that genre. But to suggest that Posey is anywhere close to a great writer is silly.
"Setting the stage" is one of TV's stupidest gimmicks ever.
"What do you think today's story line is going to be, Bob?"
"Well, Vettle is the man to beat today, but the advantage that the Mercedes has on the long straights could produce some interesting and quite surprising results. Steve?"
On come on, drop the freakin' flag and let the engines do the talking and the drivers put on the show. I don't give a rat's ass who raced there a century ago. I don't need any metaphors about the leaves turning colors as the season grows long in the tooth.
Stand on the ****in' gas.

Wish you could meet him Milt. He is such a mello individual, at least now. No he wasn't Mario, (the best EVER, IMHO), but he brought prospective in his commentary. He spoke his mind in a time when it wasn't necessarily a good thing. His voice is classic.
But I hear ya, I don't like Eddy Cheevers.
