Tom Amoss comment

man did he just step in it on TVG or what? Someone must have ran up to him and told him you cant mention black and the term "monkey" on television, no matter how innocent a mistake it was as he clarified himself and looked completely shaken. If that was any other major network other then TVG he would be finished, sadly.

Darn sounds interesting what was the conversation about sorry I missed it

ninetoone · #3 10-24-2008, 09:12 PM

I saw it & didn't think it was that big a deal. I admit it was a bit awkward, but someone clarified that this was something that Ken Rudolph apparently yells on the show.

Yea, basically they asked him to say something like Ken Rudolf does and he said "I am not your monkey"....I guess its a Jon Stewart thing, whoever that is.

RE: "I'm not your monkey" ...from Amoss to Schrupp when Todd told him to do something that Ken usually does, which is some lame Mike Smith shout-out. Basically Amoss was telling him to eff off in a joking manner.

Saw it and was shocked how P-C scared they reacted to it. It was a reference to a John Stewart comment from I believe the Daily Show.

I've never met any of these guys, but it seemed pretty harmless. I would hope it doesn't get any heat from it.

the awkwardness and bad televisionness of the moment was punishment enough for everyone. My guess is that Rudolph would have laughed had he been in the room.

It's a good thing Amoss doesn't post in the Politics forum.

Tom Amoss is a tool anyways. And McCarron, while a GREAT jockey, hey buddy they run the races in the afternoon not in morning workouts...

Shrupp set him up. Tvg needs to dump Shrupp and if they are going to keep Ken , he needs to stop with the " Good luck and enjoy" before each race.

I agree Vic. I didn't hear the comments, but let's celebrate the best horses in the world today, and save the petty critques for slow days.

You should create a program that blocks out all threads with "TVG" in them, sissy.

still would rather be watching the actual bc races on tvg or hrtv.

Agreed. ESPN coverage sux! Bores the hell out of me, until the race is being run my dial is on TVG, because that is all I have on Direct TV. Hope they merge at some point, or the NFL package switches to DISH.

No one said TVG sucks- Tom Amoss sucks as a host/handicapper. And you can tell him that.

Go to a sports bar for the 17 Sundays in the fall. With DISH you get both racing channels all year. No reason to get Direct TV.

There could not be a worse place to spend an NFL Sunday than a sports bar. Bunch of drunken tools in their team jerseys yelling at a TV...all at once. The cacophony of retards is enough to drive anyone away.

I'll keep my DirecTV and TVG. NFL at home with the remote in hand is bliss. I've never watched HRTV so I don't know what I am missing. Anything TVG doesn't show can be covered by the 23 ADW's I have accounts with.
