Paul Szmal is the real deal. See 'Rush Hour on DIRT' to check his cred.
For some reason "Cowboy" Paul Szmal rings a history bell. Did you have that nickname in the 90s?
As for the knocks on your call, at least you know you were being heard, right?
Rob does a great job. He has the insight, rapport and experience to be a vital but at the very same time unnoticed element of the show. Not much ever said, good or bad, about his work until someone fills in. And that's ok-most announcers (except the egomaniacs) approach the job with a focus on complementing the action but not distracting from it. Filling in feels A LOT like walking through a cow pasture blindfolded. You have to get through it somehow, you can smell it, but you can't tell if you stepped in it until you do!
Definitely NOT a slam to Paul, but once again with Rob being an asset to the show, let USAC know!
I'd be willing to bet Rob's help on the off-road tv gig was more valuable than his being with the sprints in essentially their backyard with knowledgeable fans.
Sorry this got so wordy, gang.
Fire when ready
