Don't do me any favors, FOX Sports

Post

When the qualis and GPs are on SpeedTV, I wake up early on Saturday and Sunday no matter how hungover I am to watch the most expensive sport in the world.

The most expensive sport in the world, which somehow cannot be delivered live nor in HD in one of the world's largest TV markets.

And then they go and show it at 3 in the afternoon with a shortened gridwalk (I know it's usually annoying but that's when I cook breakfast), shortened post-race press conference, and they have to force NASCAR over to an inferior channel and broadcast team to do it.

Just needed to blow off some steam's all. If anyone can help (you know what I mean) please PM me. And if anyone else living under Murdoch's oppression would like to set up some kind of PM chain for live broadcasts, please also PM me, we can set something up.

I got used to that from their NASCAR coverage, I guess. I know there's a lot of passing in NASCAR, but I've definitely seen them cut to commercial during side-by-side battles for the lead.
