I'M A CBS F1 COMMENTATOR!!!!!! ASK ME ANYTHING!!!!!!!!

[Telly Savalas]

PLEASE ALLOW ME TO POINT OUT THE OBVIOUS IN EXCRUCIATING DETAIL!!!!!

AND LET ME DESTROY THE ENJOYMENT OF WHAT YOU ARE DOING BY SMOTHERING IT WITH ABSURDLY EXAGERRATED EXCITEMENT!!!!!!!!

[Deja Q]

1. Which is your favorite corporate brand?

:evilgrin:

[Telly Savalas]

5. I LOVE ALL OF THEM!!!!!

PART OF WHAT MAKES FORMULA ONE RACING SUCH AN IMPRESSIVE SPECTACLE IS THE IMPRESSIVE DIVERSITY OF CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP INVOLVED IN THE RACING!!!!! WITH BUDGETS IN THE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS NEEDED TO FUND A FORMULA ONE TEAM, CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE IN KEEPING THE TEAM FINANCIALLY VIABLE!!!!

BY THE WAY, FOR THOSE OF YOU NEW TO THE IDEA OF FOREIGN COUNTRIES, ORANGE IS A COMPANY THAT DOES BUSINESS OUTSIDE OF THE UNITED STATES!!! THAT'S WHY THAT CAR SAYS "ORANGE" ON IT!!!! IT'S NOT NECISSARILY THE CASE THAT ORANGE IS THAT DRIVER'S FAVORITE COLOR, EVEN THOUGH IT MIGHT BE. MANY FORMULA ONE GREATS IN THE PAST HAVE BEEN BIG FANS OF THE COLOR ORANGE!!!!!

[Champ]

2. What should I do with my love life?

[Telly Savalas]

6. I MAY NOT BE QUALIFIED TO ANSWER THAT...

BUT I WILL ANYWAY. I'D FOLLOW THE LEAD OF FORMULA ONE DRIVERS WHO ENGAGE IN ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH EXTREMELY ATTRACTIVE PEOPLE!!! IT'S TRULY AMAZING!!!!!

[LaurenG]

3. Is there anything that bushco won't stoop to? nt

[Telly Savalas]

7. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!!!

THAT'S PART OF WHAT MAKES THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION SO IMPRESSIVE!!!!

FOR THOSE OF YOU NOT FAMILIAR WITH POLITICS, "BUSH" REFERS TO GEORGE WALKER BUSH WHO IS THE 43RD PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.

HERE'S AN INTERESTING FACTOID FOR YOU: DID YOU KNOW THAT THE PRESIDENT LIVES IN A PLACE CALLED THE WHITE HOUSE? AMAZING, ISN'T IT?

[LaurenG]

10. Wow that was exhilarating

The way you took command of the topic. Very informative and uncommonly HONEST!!! I could hear the authority and calm reassurance as you spoke. Great job!! :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Telly Savalas]

14. THANK YOU!!!!

I TAKE PRIDE IN MY WORK!!!

[Ready4Change]

4. Will F1 deny CBS coverage next season?

Please say yes. Speed TVs coverage is SO superior. CBS's coverage is, honestly, laughable.

One quote I recall from CBS's coverage last season "That's Schumacher in the lead, followed by, um, ..., someone..." (It was Barichello, Shumachers team mate on the Ferrari team, and one of the more promiment and recognizable drivers on the circuit.)

:eyes:

[Telly Savalas]

9. GOD I HOPE SO!!!!!!

I QUIT WATCHING BECAUSE IT WAS SO DAMN IRRITATING!!!!!!

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

8. Is it your opinion that women drivers should wear white, like any good

household appliance? What the hell does that mean anyway?

[Telly Savalas]

11. AH, YES, A REFERENCE TO THE UNFORTUNATE STATEMENT...

BY BERNIE ECCLESTONE!!!! A TRULY AMAZINGLY STUPID STATEMENT!!! AS A CBS F1 COMMENTATOR I'M GRATEFUL FOR IT, BECAUSE IT DEMONSTRATES THAT I'M NOT THE DUMBEST PERSON INVOLVED IN F1!!!!

MANY OF THE TEAMS HAVE FEMALE ENGINEERS WORKING FOR THEM!!!! IN MY OPINION, THEY SHOULD GET TOGETHER AND SUE THE BASTARD FOR SEXUAL HARASSMENT FOR MAKING SUCH AN OUT OF LINE STATEMENT!!!!

[madrchsod]

12. is this why eddie loves f1?

or is this why all the girls love him......
or is this why f1 is so popular?

[Telly Savalas]

13. EDDIE JORDAN IS A HIGHLY RESPECTED MEMBER...

OF THE F1 COMMUNITY!!! BOTH WOMAN AND MEN LOVE HIM FOR HIS COMMITMENT AND DEDICATION TO MOTORSPORT!!!!

BY THE WAY, JORDAN'S CARS ARE YELLOW!!!! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVEN'T LEFT YOUR HOUSE IN THE LAST DECADE, A YELLOW TRAFFIC LIGHT IS AN INDICATION THAT THE RED LIGHT IS COMING SOON!!! A FORMULA ONE TRACK HAS NO NEED FOR SUCH TRAFFIC LIGHTS SINCE IT IS A CLOSED CIRCUIT WITH NO INTERSECTIONS!!!! ONE MAY ASSUME THAT FIA, THE GOVERNING BODY OF FORMULA ONE, HAS DECIDED THAT PLACING INTERSECTIONS IN A FORMULA ONE CIRCUIT WOULD BE A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!!!

[GOPisEvil]

15. You mean, the F1 cars don't have horn buttons?

Who is this asshat?

[Telly Savalas]

16. Oh my god, did one of those idiots actually say that!?!?

:rofl:

I turned it off a while back. Caught the last part of the race live this morning so I already know who won. Thankfully TSN in Canada picks up the UK's ITV feed. James Allen is kind of goofy, but the Brit commentary is still about 1000 times better than the CBS assclowns. SpeedTV isn't too bad either.

[GOPisEvil]

18. No, he was talking about how the steering wheels have buttons on them.

So, he said something about how street cars have horn and radio buttons, but the F1 cars have all sorts of buttons for all sorts of things.

:eyes:

[Telly Savalas]

20. THAT'S THE SORT OF COMMITMENT TO STATING THE OBVIOUS

THAT WE'VE COME TO EXPECT FROM CBS F1 COVERAGE!!! BRAVO!!!

IT SHOULD BE POINTED OUT THAT F1 IS TELEVISED NOT JUST ON CBS, BUT ALL OVER THE WORLD AS WELL!!! HENCE IN MANY FOREIGN COUNTRIES THE COVERAGE ISN'T IN ENGLISH!!! A LOT OF FANS AT HOME MAY BE SURPISED THOUGH TO KNOW THAT ENGLISH DRIVER JENSON BUTTON DESPITE BEING A FOREIGNER STILL SPEAKS ENGLISH AS A FIRST LANGUAGE!!! TRULY AMAZING!!!

[frylock]

17. is that the proper method for entering a corner?

I understand the concept of late-braking techniques, but isn't that a bit extreme?

[Telly Savalas]

21. I BELIEVE THAT'S JACQUES VILLENEUVE...

PERHAPS GETTING A BIT CARRIED AWAY DEFENDING HIS POSITION!!! DEFENDING YOUR POSITION IS CRITICAL IN FORMULA ONE, BECAUSE IF A CAR OVERTAKES YOU AND STAYS IN FRONT OF YOU, IT WILL CROSS THE FINISH LINE FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DS1]

19. Brilliant pass

I've seen passes before but that was spectacular!

F1 is all but unwatchable these days, regardless of commentators.

[Telly Savalas]

23. There's still some good racing on the track...

it's just that more often than not, the exciting fights for position are for 8th place instead of 1st. I still like it, but I enjoy the FIA World Rally Championships where there's zero overtaking. And it's more appealing than other motorsports where they bust out the yellow flag every 5 minutes to bunch the cars back up.

[UrbScotty]

22. WHAT DOES A BLUE FLAG MEAN?

[Telly Savalas]

26. WELL, IH8THEGOP, THE BLUE FLAG IS AN INSTRUCTION...

TO A SLOWER MOVING CAR THAT'S ABOUT TO BE LAPPED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY SO THAT A FRONTRUNNER MAY PASS!!!!!! ON HIGHWAYS HERE IN NORTH AMERICA, FASTER MOVING TRAFFIC GOES IN THE LEFT LANES, BUT IN EUROPE THEY DON'T HAVE THIS CONVENTION. INSTEAD THEY HAVE HIGHWAY STEWARDS EVERY 100 METERS WHO WAVE A BLUE FLAG IF THEY SEE THAT A CAR WISHES TO PASS A SLOWER MOVING CAR. THIS WAS THEN ADOPTED ON THE RACETRACK OVER THERE!!!!!

[CatWoman]

24. who loves ya, baby?

:D

[Telly Savalas]

28. GOOD AFTERNOON, CATWOMAN!!!!

IT'S A TRULY PHENOMENAL DAY, ISN'T IT?

[UrbScotty]

25. WHY DOES FRANCE'S NATIONAL ANTHEM SUCK?

[Telly Savalas]

27. I BEG TO DIFFER!!!!

THE FRENCH BORROWED IT FROM THE INTRODUCTION TO THE BEATLES SONG "ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE"!!!!

[Champ]

29. I nominate this as lounge thread of the day

One more question, you still around?

:rofl:
