![]() I was pleasantly surprised at the amount and quality of coverage ESPN gave to the Belmont Stakes/potential Triple Crown story that morning. I thought it was great stuff. Right at noon, just before they turned to covering something like speedsurfskateboardmotocross (or whatever), they ran a short maybe 2 minutes long preview/tease of the Belmont-Triple Crown narrated by Bill Nack. Again, very surprising since they weren't actually broadcasting the race. It was very much like one of these
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FhrbbDIb94 and nobody does them better than Nack IMO. I'm standing there transfixed, remote in hand because I was going to turn off the TV until I heard Nack's unmistakable voice and looked back at the screen, and before it's over I have major goosebumps and am even more psyched, if that's possible, about the day. Since then I have tried in vain to find the video on the interwebs. I even sent an email inquiry to ESPN. Quote:
And by the way, this is for Steve: Have you considered having Nack on ATR to talk about the Triple Crown? It's been a long time since he was on the show. I bet it would be great. |
