Probably a really, really good thingy' I DON'T have
a TWIT-er account!
Otay, so I-T was two races ago, but; WTF! Why
Oh Why can't Peacock-lite, nee NBC Sports Network manage to stick to its listed
programming and show a Formula 1 race encore episode either in its entirety, or
better yet, at A-L-L!
Case in point, the Kuhnadiun Grand Prix was
listed to be re-broadcasted at 5PM Pacific Sunday, June 12th. BUTT NOOOOOOOOOOO.....
Fortunately, Tacoma Bureau Chief Mary Ellen
had been kind enough to Wisk me home early Sunday morning just so I could
watch; Err listen to the live airing of the race in its entirety beginning at
10AM Pacific...
Hmm? Where is I-T now? As it wasn't listed on
my NFB Newsline for The Blind's TV Listings Guide on its usual station, nee
NBCSN. Otay, perhaps it got pushed down to NBC's Triple A affiliate CNBC? NOPE!
Huh, what's I-T doing on the B-I-G' Network Thy Peacock! Nee NBC, as Mary Ellen
asked don't you wanna turn on the TV Tomaso, so you won't miss anything?
So I tuned-in two minutes prior to NBC and
then just listened to some psycho-babble about rescuing Cats, or something;
WTF! As around 10:05AM Pacific my inner voice said where's the FRIGGIN' F1
Pre-race blather?
Steeeeeeeee-rike One!
Having switched the Formula 1 broadcast over
to NBC Sports with NO warning! Whilst Indy Cars got absolutely NO mention of
their impending switcheroo to CNBC until the race was slated to start on Sunday
at 11:15AM Pacific.
And I got so rankled over whom I've been
calling Golden Child this season, aka Lewis Hamilton's impending victory; SHIT!
Hamilton wins again. Like that's 44-of-50 or something similar regarding
Mercedes total Whitewashing of F1 for wins since the PU (Power Unit) era began;
YAWN!
thus I began switching back 'N forth between
the delayed IndyCar race and F1 before totally switching over to the Indy Cars
at the sodden Texas Motor Speedway with twelve-laps remaining on Il Notre Dam.
For which Mary Ellen later retorted: That Bad?
Strangely I tuned in Justin' time to listen
to the ominous sounds of Brian Till, Paul Tracy and Townsend Bell calling the
savage accident Josef Newgarden incurred after friend Conor Daly had
inadvertedly lost the rear end of his racecar. Which Newgarden escaped with only minor
injuries, albeit a broken shoulder and wrist fracture! While we all know that
the race has now been rescheduled to August 27th after more rain followed some
thunder 'N lightning!
Otay, I'll watch the F1 replay to see how my
Boy Valtteri Bottas finished third, since Max "Dutchboy" Verstappen
and Nico Rosberg were hot on his tail.
Steeeeeeeee-rike Two!
Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot! Why are there some
British lasses plus a perky, or should that be Cheeky' Brunette? On my Telie?
And why are they blathering on Post-game about Golf? For which had originally
been interrupted by some NO NAME male golfers on the 16th hole.
Ok Katie, let's go to
the first sudden death playoff hole between these two Titanic Teenagers; URGH!
You've gotta be joking right? Titanic? Uhm, perhaps the golfing coverage coming
from my own backyard's Sahalee
Country Club's Golf Corse in Sammamish, Washington will
mercifully SINK to the bottom of Lake Sammamish, or better yet Lake Washington pronto!
but NO! Not gonna happen tonight, as I got
tired of waiting for those precocious female teenagers, neither of whom I've
ever heard of before wrap up their playoff, as somebody better tells that
Peacock FOUR!
As I'm told that after this titanic scrum,
the broadcast next switched to some real, good, honest Wrasslin' between
USA-USA-USA v Iran...
As I don't have a Problema with listed
television Sports programs running long in general, albeit I bristle at the Red
Headed Step Seester' treatment Open Wheel Racing routinely encounters, but
Seriously! The Women's Golfing and Intramural Olympics? Wrestling shows weren't
even listed in Thy TV Guide, making NO sense why F1's Canadian GP got bumped!
HOLY 3-POINT TAKEDOWN
BATMAN
!
Even funnier yet was my stumbling into the F1 race
being replayed in its Sliced 'N Diced 2hrs format on Monday afternoon when the
TV Guide listed IndyCar from 1-3PM Pacific. As NBCSN sure AIn'T gonna monkey
with its RASSCAR AMERICANA coverage; BARF!
Although I-T was impressive seeing; Err hearing
Verstappen hold off the vastly superior Silver Arrows of Nico Rosberg...
The Hilarity of this, or for Mwah, the Hypocrisy
of I-T ALL is the fact that the Media's All Ah-lather over the Monster Dealio
Heineken just signed off on for the next five years, promising to bring the
sport to the people and increase Formula 1's Social Media presence.
which for me, if the sole television network,
i.e.; comca$t audaciously
chooses to Yank F1 from Primetime, for which typically only shows four races
per year to its second-tier Cable TV Channel instead, how will Formula 1 ever
grow in the U.S. which for thirty years I've heard is a vitally important
market due to our insatiable spending habits.
Steeeeeeeee-rike Three; You're OUT NBC!
Then there's Azerbaijan, which I've already
lamented about its Total Makeover by putting on a bright, shiny, smiling face
over its Democracy, as won't even comment upon Uncle Bernaughty's Jabberwocky
'bout holding Azerbaijan's President's "Feet-to-the-Fire" to release
its Prisoners of Conscience; SPEW!
As perhaps its solely Mwah, but? I thought there
had been all sorts of blather promising that Baku's F1 race and the 24 Heurs du Mans finish wouldn't clash with
each either on Thy Telie... Which I find I-T Rich that Fox Sports-1's live
coverage conveniently bumped up against F1 TV Coverage Stateside, or was I-T Visa-Versa?
And riddle me this? Why in thee HELL was the
supposed European Grand Prix replay slated for 3PM Pacific on Father's Day
listed as only being two hours long while the live morning's airing's total
duration equals three hours, with the latter apparently cutting the Pre and Post-race analysis completely! And that's
before we even get to comca$t conveniently
"Wink-Wink, Nudge-Nudge," re-airing Saturday's F1 Qualie show at
Three FUCKING thirty AM when FS1 was still wrapping UP its
Le Mans coverage - which hopefully I'd still be awake for?
As I'd planned on missing NBCSN's European GP
coverage of Qualie' in favour of hearing Bob Varsha's mesmerizing voice once
again in Thy Wee Hours 'O Morning, aka 5:30AM Pacific but Alas, NO! Fox
Sports-1 triple Bogeyed, or was I-T Quadrupled? The start of Le Mans Saturday
morning in favour of Y'all guessed I-T; Oh Never Mind!
For some far more
soothing commentary, Y'all may wish to check out Thy Voice of Formula 1,
whenever its ON Stateside. As Leigh Diffey dropped into the Speed Freaks recently
to give us a few insights into Thy world of Formula 1...
