TNT'S WEBER SUSPENDED FOR TWO RACES

Posted 07/01/09 at 9:04 AM PDT by Joe Donatelli | Email This |

Just what happened in that hotel? TNT has suspended play-by-play man Bill Weber for the network's final two races of the season. Weber also was suspended for Sunday's race in New Hampshire. The network declined to specify the reason for the initial suspension last weekend, calling the matter a "private issue." On Sunday the Charlotte Observer reported that Weber got into a "loud, public confrontation" in a Manchester, N.H., hotel on Friday night.

The official TNT release:

Bill Weber will not be part of TNT's NASCAR coverage of the Cup Series for the network’s last two races. Ralph Sheheen will handle play-by-play duties for The Coke Zero 400 in Daytona and the LifeLock.com 400 from Chicagoland. Sheheen will be calling the races alongside analysts Kyle Petty and Wally Dallenbach in the booth.

MR WEBER IS THE BEST ANNOUNCER OF NASCAR, SO ALITTLE FIGHT WHO CARES, HOW CAN ANYONE COMPARE BILL WEBER WITH ALLAN SEDWICK, THE ONLY TIMES HE SAYS SOMETHING IS "WE ARE TAKING A BREAK FOR COMMECIAL" WHILE MR WEBER KNEW WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT, I GREW UP WITH HIM AS A ANNOUNCER AND WILL MISS HIM, I WILL NO LONGER WATCH NASCAR ON TNN TOO MANY COMMERCIALS.

Nascar has some of the worse announcers of any sport. Larry, Darrell and Darrell top the list as the most pathetic. Fox continues to inflict them on us.

Kyle Petty was bad as a driver and even worse as an announcer. Dallenbach is good but doesn't stand a chance with Petty, Weber and Shaheen.

We tend to mute the television after fox has to move over to TNT or even worse ESPN. Sad to hear that the priviledged few can't control themselves.

No problem there. He is not a very good play by play caller. TNT is just awful all around for race coverage.
