In Reply To: 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.
Message: I thought Paul Page owned the production company that produced the Indy 500 for ABC. Did ABC go with a different production company this year?
