Is Speed Tv not showing the GP race today??

I think we are spoiled.  Toby Moody, Julian Ryder and Randy Mamola are among the top sports announcers in any sport.  Unless we get the likes
of Joe Buck to do the announcing  I don't think an American will ever match those dudes.  White is awful, but there is just something I like about the dude.  Maybe it is because he is trying so hard.

I have to disagree with this.  Shaheen is awful.  White at least brings some excitement to the race.  Paired with Spencer, White would also be a disaster.  Schwantz isn't great, but we could have gotten a lot worse.  That being said, I would much prefer they give us the world feed; via SAP audio would be just fine as well.  With any luck, though, we'll be back to the world feed after the next race.

Funny, you say we disagree, but I think that your right on the mark.  Could we start an argument on agreement or disagreement.  Anyway, you are correct about Shaheen.  I can't stand to watch a race that he is covering.  He is something less than awful.  He and the Suzuki domination of US superbike have caused me to loose all interest in AMA roadracing.  I've always liked White as a person. 
I was bummed when 2 wheel Tuesday left the air.  And I agree with you about Spencer.  Glad he did not do this race.  He should spend all his time with his riding school.   

So, if we have to have an American announcer my vote is for Joe Buck but I won't tune out the race if White is back next week.

Here's a conspiracy theory for you: AMA deliberately put Shaheen and Spencer on as commentators so they could drive viewership down so low it would be easy to get rid of AMA Pro Racing.
