ESPN needs new Horse Racing crew

#1 08-26-2007, 05:17 PM

They need some new blood in there.

I say replace Jeannine Edwards with Christina Olivares. Steve Byk could replace Randy Moss. Not sure what he looks like but his radio personality is much better than anything Randy Moss has. As for Hank Goldberg, anyone would be better. He is clueless. Does he get paid to sit there and pick 3-5 shots?

Of course horse racing doesn't have any new fans, it is like the Senior Citizens of America are the ones promoting the sport.

Some people like the ESPN crew.

I think the crew is fine, except for Hammerin' Hank. Get rid of him. Just find a way for Durkin to get out of the NBC deal, so he can call every important horse race and it'll be as good as possible.

Some people. What is that 10 of the 20 people that are watching? Without Kenny Mayne there yesterday it was painful to listen to the coverage.

Moss and Jenine Edwards are great.

Hank may be a lousy analyst....but he's a man of the people...as evidence by all the cheering.

I see no need to replace Edwards or Moss.
I do, however, think that there are hundreds of people on DT alone that would be an upgrade over Goldberg.

the more camera time for miss edwards, the better.

she filled out those jeans pretty nicely when she did that bit a few weeks ago about the violette barn in the morning.

She looks great on a small tv, but on a large screen she looks pretty tough. Veins popping out of her neck are sort of scary. If we just want something nice to look at I prefer the TVG girl.

I'm sure there are a lot of people they could get that would be hotter than Edwards, but she is attractive, classy, and knows a little about the game. They could do a lot worse.

I prefer they get Miss Teen USA - South Carolina to take Edwards' place.

When they do west coast broadcasts they usually have Jay Privman in place of Hank. They should just use a noted east coast DRF handicapper instead of the Hammer. Actually, why do they need anybody to replace him at all? I find his role meaningless. He's not bad when he does his football picks in the early Sunday morns, but maybe that's just comparing it to the drivel he puts out for racing. Watching him take five minutes to explain and justify his Travers' selection was painful.

Well in that case they should replace Hank with Mike Watchmaker.

I for one really enjoy the ESPN crew minus Hammerin Hank. Really like Moss and Bailey's insight. I could be the biggest Kenny Mayne fan in the world, think he is hilarious and he never gets old. Will never forget him telling the governor of Kentucky that he brings his children to his state so he can graze on the grass and watching the governors reaction. I am not a big fan of Edwards, sometimes I think she tries too hard. The only way Hank should still be on is if they let him start riding horses, that might be funny to watch. We're all missing something because it is a absolute joke for him to continue to be on tv.

i think moss and edwards do fine. the others, i could take or leave. i'd rather have mayne than bailey or goldberg, hank always seems lost for words. randy moss is a good handicapper, so i don't understand the need for goldberg anyway. and the more often they hand it off, the more awkward it can be...

Rileyoriley · #20 08-26-2007, 07:27 PM

Moss and Mayne for me.
