TNT ANNOUNCER BILL WEBER IN 'LOUD, PUBLIC CONFRONTATION' AT HOTEL

TNT suspended play-by-play announcer Bill Weber for Sunday's race. The Charlotte Observer reported, "According to witnesses, Weber got into a loud, public confrontation over the weekend at his hotel in Manchester, N.H. He was at the track on Friday."
While participating in the ESPN RaceCast chat from New Hampshire Motor Speedway, ESPN reporter Ed Hinton told fans, "Word around the media center is that there was some sort of issue in Bill's hotel lobby last night. Something about adamant complaint about his room." A fan in the chat asked if Weber was crying about his hotel room. Hinton replied, "Uh, i think it was a little more than that. ADAMANTLY complaining, is what everybody's saying."
Sal Petruzzi, senior vice president of public relations for Turner Broadcasting, said, "Bill Weber will not be part of TNT's NASCAR coverage of the Cup Series from New Hampshire Motor Speedway this weekend. As this is a private issue, it's the policy of the company not to discuss personal matters involving our employees."
Weber was replaced by Ralph Sheheen.

Weber is an arrogant little jerk, an overgrown adolescent. Couple years ago on the grid before the Rolex 24, with over a thousand people milling about (if you pay, you can go out there), he was interviewing a driver and decided that this one guy coming along was NOT going to walk through the back of HIS shot. Never mind all the other people who were already there. So he reaches over and grabs the guy by the shirtsleeve and just yanks him back! Almost pulled him off balance, no exaggeration. I wish it had been me; I would've knocked Weber off his feet. He certainly deserved it, having initiated the assault for no reason. How could you think you have the right to do that to someone? Because you're on TV? Ha! Wrong crowd, pudgy boy. Rolex people are very far from impressed. I only wish he had done that to the wrong person. He would have been sent home 10-12 years ago.
If Bestwick is back, it's as bad as Wally. Webber made the broadcast, NASCAR is headed south either way, I used to set my schedule on the start of a race. Too boring now and unless they make plate racing better, I'm done attending. 2 races a year is not cheap on anyone, let alone in today's economy. Boogity, Boogity, Boogity!!! DW, Rusty, DJ, Larry Mac, put them on all year.
I like Bill Weber as a race annoncer, frome the days that he and late beeny Parson temed up at ESPN tv booth.I hope TNT sport start serching for a new anoncer for next year, if they are not bringing back Weber.Tell you the truth Ralph Saheen doen't bring any thing to the table, he is just a pit annoncer as his best.
I agree about bob jenkins. He was as excited about being at the race as I was and very easy to listen to. I wish he was back.
I have been telling em for years ..the guy is too loud and talks too much....
and so it was ...in a hotel ....Who could he have confronted ? about the
Room? Seems to me it HAD TO BE a member of staff .. and i dont
mean the bell hop
Cant we simply say that Bill was upset with the Room Clerk ? Was'
it before or after happy hour. ?
As for tv .. it has gone from bad to worse ...Weber is bad.. .but Ralph
Sha heen is worse. Why do we need another announcer in the booth ??
Since Kyle talks most of the time anyway LOL ...
