Recaps are by far my favorite part of doing tv analysis. I've always felt (hoped) that serious players are interested in what to "take away" from a race.
My extensive recaps are why we always fall behind on mnr's show. There is soooo much I want to convey after most races-and so little time.
In fact, Nancy sometimes rolls her eyes when I come in behind her short blow-by-blow recaps and extenuate more on what we just watched. And she has a point....her recaps (she does the odd numbered races and I do the evens) are hers to do as she sees fit. But I'm just bursting to weigh in...I can't help it.
But I do believe that a good recap both enlivens and informs.
Her and I have very different ideas of what constitutes good analysis and recaps. But we remain good friends, and well understand each other's philosophy and role. And she deserves a medal for tolerating my ego and swag for 18 years. Be well, guys....no time to post, these days.
Btw, great to see you back, Vic.
