Since when did Indy Cars start doin' Triple
Gainers, Whoops 'N Rhythm sections...
So a Funny Ha-Ha, NOT! Thing happened during
this weekend's IndyCar TV Broadcast, which is a worrying trend for Mwah. As I
typically check my Zap-2-It' TV Guide via my NFB Newsline for The Blind
Telephone Service about a week out to learn preliminary when the next IndyCar
and Formula 1 races will be airing on what's now Dubbed Linear TV.
As a Blind Motor Racing Aficionado, primarily
Open Wheel Racing's Formula 1 and Indy Cars, I've known for a long, long time now
I'm not the sport's typical Fan, who can SEE the Action On-track, or HELL! Now
even on the Television Screen.
Which makes it even more imperative to be
able to simply push the TV Remote's familiar buttons and Hear the Talkin' Headz
calling thou races instead of having to Fumble, Bumble 'N Stumble with trying
to click on Itsy-Bitsy, Teeny-Weenie Multi-coloured Invisible Computer Screen
Icons!
Or Heavens Forbid,
have to try selecting a Colour Coded Miniscule Box in order to watch an
"On Demand" Programme...
When originally checking NBC Sports Network's
(NBCSN) TV Times, presumably more than a week out, my TV Guide said the
typical, i.e.; Indy Cars Pre-race for the Alabama Grand Prix would be 30mins
from 12:30-1PM Pacific before the Race Broadcast began, being Denoted as 2hrs
followed by a 30mins Post-race show...
then it got weird! Suddenly those 4-Stroke
450 "Thumpers" Flying thru the Air, aka Supercross would be airing
Sunday morning for 3hrs instead, pre-empting the IndyCar Pre-race, which would
simply begin at 1PM Pacific instead. Apparently subtracting another 30mins of
"Devoted" Television Time away from IndyCar TV Viewers; BASTARDOES!
Thus waiting for the Day's upcoming Qualie'
session live on NBC Sports, which I can still obtain via my Telie', I finally
decided for humour to look-up the AMA Supercross Schedule, since I know they
typically race on Saturday Night's, Presumably to Not clash with some 'lil 'Ol
Taxicab Bombers' Roundy-Round series...
And guess what? Gee Wally; Err Mark Miles!
It's a Friggin' Replay! As the AMA Supercross race is actually being run
Saturday Nite', beginning at 6PM Central Time - on April 6th at Nissan Stadium
in Nashville, Tennessee.
Hmm? And to think
that Thee OLD-est IndyCar Blogger; Hya! Who Hails from Nashville chose to go to
Alabama for an IndyCar race instead. What was he thinking?
For Humour I tried checking out a few of the
other comca$t owned "Satellite"
Stations; Err NBC Outposts, i.e.; CNBC and USA Network.
Hell, I even spent several minutes
judiciously listening to my TV Guide's Channel line-up one station at-a-time,
since I had NO Clue what channel MSNBC was? Oh, it's #32, a la Juncos Racing's
fairly invisible mount, which I believe isn't racing at Thee Oh, So Bootyful'
Barbers this weekend...
Thus I discerned the following riveting
programmes for when the IndyCar Pre-race should have been airing. MSNBC had
MSNBC Live with Kendis Gibson on from 12-1PM, which sounded like a replay of
the previous hour's show to Mwah.
USA Network was airing the movie Ant and
CNBC was reaping the profits of a 30mins
Infomercial ironically about the rare 1870 Gold Coin!
As I had Zero Clue what they'd be saying about
Sunday's Broadcast Times during Qualie' Saturday, but if Thee Voice of Indy
Cars, Leigh Diffey tells us if's on the BLINKIN' NBC Sports App, I think I'm
gonna BARF!
As Leigh Diffey simply said see You tomorrow at 4PM
Eastern, when signing off...
Actually, NBCSN spent the entire Qualifying Show
promoting the SHIT outta the upcoming Supercross race that was Airing live
Saturday Nite at 5PM Pacific! Which means that Indy Cars Pre-race Show is
getting bumped Out by a Freakin' Encore Presentation, Unbelievable!
Yeah, Mr. Miles, I know it's outta your
Hands... And into your wallet, but Newsflash! I specifically made the effort to
upgrade my Cable Television Service to ensure access to NBCSN! Along with
fortunately All of ESPN's Sibling Channels in order to watch; Err listen to
Formula 1 on Thy Telie', instead of playin' Pocket Pool with some lame ARSE
Smartfone' Screen I CANNOT S-E-E; KAPISCHE!
Especially if your Freakin' Blind! As it's just a
fleeting memory when I could actually SEE what the racecars looked like!
I mean it's Bad enough to get bumped by some
live Stick 'N Ball Sports like Women's Golf, Curling; Oh Never Mind! But
Seriously? Being Pre-empted by a Delayed TV Broadcast just Doesn't Cut It!
WUH-WUH-WUH-WIPEOUT!
As knock this SHIT
Off! You Don't have Any Fans to lose IndyCar! Or may be this Stupidness is why
you registered a 0.38 Nielsen Rating for your Season Opener, Eh?
Then Strangely, as apparently some inner
voice was tellin' Mwah to check again, I found Thyself checkin' the TV Times
once more Sunday morning and was Bemused to find that now my TV Guide was
saying that the race would be followed by a 1hr Post-race Show, WTF? As
Seriously? You're gonna Prattle On for an hour after the race?
Although by my "Tokyo Rose" Talking
Keychain, which is currently running a minute fast... The IndyCar race finished
at 3:15PM Pacific, after I spent the majority of it with four sets 'O fingers
crossed Yelling G-O TAKU! As it was Fantastic having Takuma Sato in the
Winner's Circle Once Again! As Taku-San' Definitely put on A Driving Clinique
at thou Barbers Sunday!
Whilst Boo-Hoo, Poor Colton Herta got Sheared
at thou Barber's by Mechanical Maladies, which hopefully will put a Stop to the
Herta Mania! Since I simply cannot understand why NBC Sports keeps Dribbling On
'N On over the young Herta?
While I found myself Yelling SHUT-UP Graham! You simply got Schooled by your Older Team-mate today!
