Some fans won't miss Bill Weber in TNT booth

July 1 2009

Bill Weber is officially out as play-by-play man for TNT's final two Sprint Cup races this season, and by the sounds of it, NASCAR fans view the news as cause for celebration.

Following TNT’s announcement that Ralph Sheheen will instead handle duties from the booth (as he did last week at New Hampshire), NASCAR fans on Twitter immediately expressed their happiness with the decision.

“That's GREAT news! I didn't like Bill at all,” wrote annie367.

“Woohoo! Bill Weber's voice is sooo annoying!” tweeted southerncharm88.

“Not a fan of Bill Weber, never was,” a user named cannemu wrote. “Personally, I hope TNT finds some other use for him...preferably off camera.”

Fans said they feel Weber is too condescending, and if it’s one thing NASCAR fans can’t take from their announcers, it’s the “voice from above” mentality that talks down to them during the broadcasts.

NASCAR fans already know their stuff. They’d rather feel like they’re being treated as knowledgeable equals than know-nothings who must be educated.

They want to be talked to, not talked at.

Weber, dating back to his days on NBC, hasn’t done that enough and has instead irked many a fan. Personally, I never enjoyed listening to him either, and was puzzled when NBC didn’t let Allen Bestwick back in the booth following a hockey injury that relegated him to the infield.

Though TNT would not comment on its reasons behind the decision, it reportedly was not performance-related. Either way, it opened the door for Sheheen, who presents a fresh and welcome voice in the broadcast booth. His play-by-play for AMA Supercross racing on Speed is always enjoyable to listen to, and fans believe he made the most of his opportunity at New Hampshire.

In an informal poll on Twitter, 90 percent of fans approved of Sheheen’s performance last week. And combined with top-notch analysts Kyle Petty, who has already become the No. 1 NASCAR analyst, and Wally Dallenbach, TNT suddenly has assembled the best booth in the business.

    the best booth in the business? kyle petty stumbles all over himself and says nothing of real substance. he simply repeats what wally says. kyle gets too excited over nothing cuz he hasnt seen the lead in 15 years. i hate to say it but, fox still has the best booth. TNT is only 6 races and ESPN could be tons better if they would go back to the formula they had in the 90's. jerry punch is just corny and cheesy about like bill weber. petree and jarrett are great but get a new lead announcer. bob jenkins? ken squier? i personally think if mike joy didnt have to dumb down himself to work with DW, he would be great. when he was on CBS, he was himself and didnt talk like he was reading a script. the problem with the broadcasts now is that they are not educational enough. i personally havent learned anything from a nascar broadcast since 2000. not enough inside or first hand information like benny or ned had to give credibility. the coverage is just too dumbed down to cater to the "casual" fan. THAT is the problem and the announcers making everything over dramatic. and they never give their REAL opinion on anything. they just walk the company line. its all so fake now in an attempt to "attract" viewers. being SO inviting pushes them away. in the 90's, ESPN treated like, "if you watch, you watch; if you dont, you dont. and if you dont understand something or the lingo, watch long enough and you will.

    TNT is by far the worst coverage of NASCAR. Sorry Bill but I won't miss you...Ralph Shaheen is much better.

    Hey, Weber--don't let the door hit you in the a_ _ on the way out of the booth! Is there anyone out there that knows the real reason why this happened, aside from it being a real blessing? I have checked every site out there and can't find a thing.

    TNT is the worst of the three networks that present Sprint Cup Series races; and though Bill Weber may be a sour personality, he isn't to blame.

    TNT's idea that they want the broadcast to consist of "three guys who are just watching the race" is ridiculously disfunctional. Why not put real race fans in the booth if that's what they want? Instead, we're presented with two drivers who offer little substance and often argue with eachother - leaving fans at home feeling awkward. Weber has tried to moderate the madness of such a disorganized broadcast, and has done pretty well.

    But I don't think he's good enough to be missed as Shaheen fills in.

    Fox's coverage is far and above the best. Each of the personalities in the booth or the Hollywood hotel have clearly defined positions to play. Mike Joy is the best anchor in the biz. D.W. is the expert driver on hand. And Larry Mac offers a crew chief's perspective.

    ESPN can be too gimicky and stiff at times. The beauty of Fox's coverage is that the personalities jell so well. Just like on a real race team, Chemistry is everything!

    Fox is undoubtebly the best but TNT provides the cool things online such as race buddy and thats primarily whats keeping them high in broadcast rankings for me but the play by play change could help all of their flaws. I think Ralph is a great addition. I dont think so much as Bill Weber being condescending. More like his voice is annoying.
    Good Luck Ralph!

    I actually liked Bill in the booth. I thought he did a nice job of blending in with Benny and Wally when he stepped in for Bestwick. AB had to be the star and whether they did or not, it seemed like he and Wally did not like each other. Bill seemed content to let Benny (and now Kyle) and Wally be the stars. I know he has a lot of experience covering all kinds of racing but I do NOT like Sheheen. Never have. His voice annoys the heck out of me. BRING BACK BOB JENKINS!!!

    Even though DW can go overboard at times, I sill think FOX is the best overall. Mike Joy and Larry Mac are both awesome! ESPN is horrible!!

    I don't see what people think is so great about Fox's coverage. They don't talk about the race. They just make stupid jokes about an animated gopher. ESPN would be great if they would put Allen Bestwick in Jerry Punch's place but with him doing the play by play it is just hard to listen to. To me TNT does the best job and without Bill Weber it will now be even better.

    The TNT booth last week was the most enjoyable broadcast I've heard in a long time. It avoided the 'all about ME' problem that DW has, and much of the bias. They somehow manage to cover the majority of the field instead of the 10 or so that are scripted by the other networks. the NH race wasn't exactly riviting, but the guys in the booth at TNT made in enjoyable is spite of that. I'm sorry that Bill Weber has lost his gig, but I won't miss him in the booth this week.

    Fox USED To be the best, but they're starting to go downhill fast. Mike Joy was pretty good but since hanging out with DW, he's dumbed down. The best team would be: Mike Joy, Allen Bestwick, & someone else, maybe like Dale Jarrett, Andy Petree, or even Ralph. I never liked Weber. He was a better pit reporter then a play by play. I've always LOVED Allen in the booth, and miss him so. He was so informative and didn't dumb things down and talked to you like an equal. Kyle Petty gets on my nerves just about as much as DW. I used to be all Fox, Fox. Fox, now I hate them. And that stupid gropher is a joke and I hate it, and think he needs to go. The camera is cool but that's it. What I like about TNT is the cool things they offer. But I think now ESPN is the best. I don't look forward to TNT, never have and maybe never will. But at least Weber is out, the next to go is either Wally or Kyle Petty. Sorry, but half the time they don't know what the heck they're talking about. Bring Ken Squire back, now that's THE Best in the business.

    I have never liked Webber. He is a cry baby and a condescending dufus. The best was Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett, and Benny Parsons. The best now would be Mike Joy, Dale Jarrett and Andy Petree. They need to get rid of alwayhs politically correct Jerry Punch he is just like Webber. Kyle Petty flls all over himself trying to be gracious and not say anything bad about anyone. Wally isn't to bad. Dale jarrett just starting out is better than the whole bunch. He is matter of fact and humorous. HE will be great after a few more races.

    If anything needs to be said, it's the fact that the people in the booth are like a bunch of teenagers watching their fist race! When there's a crash on the track, they are going OOH & AHHH. I can't take it. Kyle is just repeating what's already been said by Wally. I miss DW already! I hope they fix this once and for all. As for replacing Weber?, he's been there along time and is okay. Ralph did a great job replacing him. Kyle's energy comes from him being closer to the front than he ever did driving!

The thought of Ken Squier coming back would be enough for me to tune out permanently. I have been a fan for over 50 years but I am moving away faster with TOYOTA and the rules written in pencil.

    ESPN/ABC the best? Bunch, Petree and Jarrett all went to the same high school and are terribly difficult to tell apart when they speak. They might be good in a studio setting but are sub-par when doing a live event. I get the feeling that a lot of their stuff (as is TNT's) is pre-programmed and practiced. The result is a stilted, un-natural delivery which comes across as being phony. They have had 7 months to improve. In 3 weeks we will see if anything has changed. (Rusty Wallace is somewhere there in the ABC/ESPN mix. The next time I hear "I'll tell you what... from him, I'll be thinking "Rusty, Stuff it...".)

    Fox the Best? 1st the bad stuff.
    Mike Joy's "Overdrive" for GWC at the end of a race is lame.
    McReynolds mis-use of the English language. (So what? You don't have any problems understanding what he's trying to say because of it, do you?)
    Jaws (In no particular order) ego, Digger love, Boogity, Hendrick love, ego.
    Meyers has a job but probably would like to get out of the asylum. "old" jokes about Berggren are not particularly funny, probably best kept off screen.
    Hammond seems a little too touchy and confrontational.
    Overall there's way too much Digger crappola and hype.

    IMHO, the good:
    Joy is pretty good at keeping the show on track.
    The dynamic between crew chief(McR) and driver(DW) works better at Fox based on the strong egos involved and their real spontaneity as events unfold.
    McReynolds knows his stuff and is able to explain it to the audience. To this day McR is still a crew chief thinking about and analyzing the race he is commenting upon. McR is not afraid of Waltrip and it shows.
    Waltrip is an entertainer. He is very funny. He is quick-witted. He is knowledgeable.
    Many think the "Boogity" call is bogus, inappropriate, stupid, anything from DW is bad, etc.
    I suspect the "Boogity" is the sheer exultation of a seasoned driver starting yet another mano mano race to the finish. If the rush of adrenalin at the start of the race for the driver and the fans has no effect on you, check your pulse.
    Overall the booth dynamic is the best of the current teams covering NASCAR and the technical gimmicks like the 'Digger' cam and 'Crank It Up' are done well. (The biggest thing the fan at home does not experience is the noise trackside.)
    Come on folks, do a good/bad analysis of your own. I'd like to hear/see it. 8-)

    The first time and a couple more times when I heard DW say Boogity, Boogity, Boogity, I could tell it came from shear excitement! Before long fans were holding up the boogity signs. The next thing you could tell it was the way each race would begin. It no longer had that excitement he once had. He had to wait on the tighten them belts up etc.....! A lot of times when he said his Boogity thing it didn't seem to be at the right time that he normally would have said it. The two things I never grow tired of hearing are the "National Anthem," and, "Gentlemen start your engines!!!!" And I am not a DW fan at all.

    I'm glad Weber is gone too, but I disagree on how great AB is. I can't stand that fake laugh of his. Give Ralph a shot. He deserves it.
