in my opinion to get better and better behind the mike on television. Just a pleasure to listen to.

I absolutely agree. I think he is a great addition to the broadcast.

ArlJim78 · #3 07-01-2006, 05:43 PM

agree totally. He makes the show with his insights.

I have always thought he was good, but I think you are correct, 2MinsToPost. In recent weeks he seems to be getting more comfortable and is really doing a nice job.

LOL! Hilarious. I always said Tom Hammond looks REALLY effeminate. Glad someone agrees with me..

It comes down to this, while all the other "experts" may have indeed watched thousands of races in person and looked at them on paper, he watched them from 16 hands off the ground going 40 mph.

I think that he is really embalmed. Nice guy, though.

I like him too...he is arogant but it is the perfect amount of arogance and it works for him....unlike many others in the industry, I have always like Jerry Bailey as a professional

Agree 1000%. If he comes across as a know-it-all, it's because he knows more than most any of us.

So true!
He has more knowledge in his pinky than....take your pick.
Just my 2 pennies...he should wear a cap with the name of the park he's at.
It would be fashionable, and hide the receding...(as if I should talk about that!)

He's doing well as a novice commentator ... and shows signs of improving ... but ...

... he should have that huge blob of hair in the back of his head seriously trimmed.

Right now his head is the exact shape of a bicycle helmet.
