Yes, but sadly the commentary sucks the life out of it so bad that many will 
probably change the channel to watch an  exciting Curling competition.

To all of us motorcyclists, we feel that rear tire slip or bar wiggle, even 
in the comfort of our LazyBoy's. With a bland commentary, the bikes just 
look so predictable, no one's really backing it in or powersliding out of 
corners anymore. I think many folks tuning into this past Sunday's race for 
the first time, this will also be their last time and I  blame that 100% on 
the commentators. Both are just too Dull.

Swantz was a great racer and is supposedly a really nice guy, but he needs 
at least one, if not two, exciting broadcast partners along side him, 
allowing him to just chip in here and there with the technical side of 
things.

I wonder what's growing on the Flower Channel next Sunday?
