Eddie Jordan victim of Ron Dennis vandalism shocker.
http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...-sabotage.html
Eddie Jordan is accusing Ron Dennis of cutting the wires to his earpiece during an Interview with Christain Horner.. Or, as Ron will probably put it: "The copper based connector between Mr Jordans belt mounted transmitter and his biological sound collector was deemed to be interfering with the sanity of millions of BBC viewers and therefore in an act of public service I motioned towards the connector with a pair of opposable blade side snips thus freeing his aural passages from any form of remote interference.." |

wow. sabotage and law suits...got to love the press! a bit of a different perspective from grandprix.com.
i must admit i didnt think of RD as a particularly funny guy but i found this a humanizing story about someone who always came across as having a very corporate type personality. on that note, with the amount of media around and how everything is a giant fishbowl, its amazing and ironic how little we are actually shown about the players involved with F1. certainly i need to do a better job of not jumping to conclusions about someone's personality based on the little bits the media and teams PR people show us...although that may make thinks a little more boring around here |

For UK viewers, you can see it here, and afterwards you can see Eddie having a go at him and Ron walking off grinning. |

I guess I'm the only person here who actually likes EJ as a pundit

Bah, it could have been worse. Imagine if RD took over Eddie's wig while filming.

That would explain why EJ was silent for sometime after the Christian Horner cross examination. He'll be watching his back from now on.

Trust RD to to get to get it wrong again. If we need to be saved from anyone, its the clueless Jake Numpty!

I hear this is the final act which will give Ron a knighthood
btw - Despite the image, Ron has a great sense of humour when the time is right and has a long history of practical jokes. |

Can someone please give Ron a contract to do that each race, preferably on a saturday morning AND get the mic wire as well, so we don't have to listen to Eddit at all!

Eddie is just playing his role in the broadcasting team. He's not afraid of making a fool out of himself, he knows what are difficult questions for team owners and he has personal experience. That is why he got hired by the BBC, to do the exact job he's doing now. I would much rather see Leggard getting the boot tbh. He offers nothing to the broadcast at all
