I was watching some TV commercials today and an Indycar race broke out!
 
Holy shit, I can't wait for ABC to stop doing the Indycar races. Almost every bit of action that happened in Detroit happened during a commercial because they are ALWAYS in a commercial.

I'm looking forward to them going back to deep cable again.

ABC= A billion commercials. Just like when they televised the British Open golf tournament.

Haven't watched TV in about 15yrs. Online baby.


ABC sucks. It's like the English Telemundo for sports.

Watched some of Monaco on NBC Sports or whatever, blah. Must have cut out 1/3 of the race at least for commercials.

When I was watching F1 the BBC broadcasts were my absolute favorite sportscasting I've witnessed, no commercials, mostly intelligent commentators with fun commentary and relevant reporting. Speed channel was acceptable, I preferred it over Skysports actually mostly because of Buxton and Hobbes/Matchett and they usually kept the commercials to a minimum and would actually cut back if something exciting was happening.

Shame they're gone, I'd pay for access to the BBC broadcasts, a couple bucks a month to see Coulthard, Jordan, and Windsor or Buxton covering motorsports would be well spent if I could watch it on-demand, pretty sure I'd work from home Monday afternoons with it on in the background.

Cut the cord finally when I moved out of my parents house a few years back, Netflix, HBOGo, Amazon, Hulu, rent movies on Google Play shoot it to the TV via Chromecast in HD, 90% of what I really want to watch is accessible without picking up a >$50 TV bill every month.
