About the worst call of a race I've ever heard. God bring back Jenkins. That race call was pathetic. Somone even called Wheldon Danica. I've never even heard of this guy. And what was Musberger doing there? You talk about out of your element. And I like Musberger. |

Do you think ABC went to Todd Harris because they wanted to "go younger" -- thinking Danica Patrick might bring in a younger (and OK, maybe hottie-hungry) audience?
(Oh yes -- can anyone recall Todd Harris doing play-by-play for ANY network befoe Sunday? I knew him as the sideline reporter for Keith Jackson and Dan Fouts, but no more.)
As for Brent Musberger: I didn't mind him that much. He's become the McKay or Cosell for ABC, emceeing "big events" -- and Al Michaels is busy with the NBA Playoffs, so he couldn't do it.
