Default Hammerin Hank

Is he no longer a part of the broadcast team? Was not on Saturday but was in the ESPN Studio Sunday morning.

hank is just sick and stuck at home in FL.

hes completely usless as a handicapper and is only there b/c ESPN is so totally pathetic in the department of thoroughbred racing.
their telecasts are a joke.

hank's "national pick 4" plays are hilarious.
never singles.
never does not include the favorite.
and very rarely hits.

Saw him at King Umberto's Saturday night after JCGC Day.. Sciacca got him a table as he showed up without a rezzie... "Hey Hank.. this ain't Miami and Joe's Stone Crab! You can't show up without a rez on Saturday night.."

If the Hammer was gone, who would Kenny have to make fun of? You got to have a big fat guy to make fun of... 3/4 of Kenny's jokes are useless without HAMMERTIME. He would have to move in on Bailey's rail thin body.

I cant wait for Hammer to look Bailey straight in the eye and say, " A baby? Get in MY BELLY!"

my problem with Goldberg is not his ability as a handicapper. sure he isn't very good, but either are a lot of the guys on tvg or a lot of the people on this board.
my problem with him is as a broadcaster. he is always completely unprepared to actually speak on the air. he stumbles through every sentence. if he is gone.....good.
i like the Mayne-Moss-Bailey trio and J. Edwards is a classy gal. but goldberg is really bad.

I have not much bad to say about Hank. Though he knows losers.
Mutton Chops is the one that makes me vomit.
Anyway, I'm hoping to see both of them go toe to toe in a "barb wire" match sometime very soon. I'd pay if it was on pay for view.
Heck, I'd like to see them go against each other in a 100 yd dash. I'd bet on which one had cardiac difficulties first.

Can guys like that actually dash? or dart for that matter...

100 yard roll or waddle or do they just courageously wade thru their own gravity? Im sorry. Should not be assaulting what could be considered dwarf planets.

It was my understanding he didn't make it to NY because he was sick.

I will say again, Randy Moss one of the nicest people around, didn't hide his dislike of Hank when I spoke to him. Not even a little bit.

He didn't appear to be too sick when he was firing away in the Calder Press Box Saturday

Lou Holtz would be a great replacement.

Guys I'm not usually known around here as a pillar of sympathy, but could we maybe stop bashing the sick guy? Its not like hes a rapist, he gives bad horse picks.
I do indeed have standards. They are VERY ,VERY, LOW, but I have them.

He'd train a Grade 1 level horse, let's say Bernardini because he is on everyone's minds these days, and say before the Breeders' Cup Classic, "I'm scared to death of Ball Four."
You missed the obvious pep talk he would give them!! Remember back in 1990 when the Irish were going to play the undefeated number one team in a bowl and the cameras caught him in a private meeting with the team saying " I promise you!!! They will quit!!!!" They did indeed quit.
Can't you just see him before the race? " I promise you!!!!! When they hit the eigth pole, he will quit!!!!"
