Thanks for the heads up (both on the watch and avoid angles
). I keep saying things like 'when I get more prosperous I'll get..." things like iPods, a satellite dish, fancy phone, etc, but I've about reached my wits end on some of this stuff. Might see if some shifting around in the budget is possible. Right now I'm getting my racing fix online via FB, Twitter, and haunting the Bloodhorse, TB Times, and DRF sites. When it's over and done in 2 min or less, it's kinda depressing. Thankfully there's always ATR and Haskin articles.
Scale of 1 to 10, how are the talking heads on HRTV vs. NBC, ESPN, etc? Are camera shots weirder? Less weird? What are the biggest negatives/pluses? Anything where you go "well that was a waste of money"? I'm not sure what I'll be able to do, but I can't take another year of this. It's ridiculous.
