Posted Monday November 02, 2009, About: Blount may be reinstated today

Rare 25 hour to celebrate, because of the time change, they got an extra hour to celebrate, that's all, don't get your panties in a bunch.

Posted Monday October 12, 2009, About: Two Fontana races too much?

The fans will come out, but for only one race. WHen Fontana had just one race it sold out every year, it was only when NASCAR got greedy and went to two races there did they stop selling the races out.

Posted Thursday October 08, 2009, About: Deion in middle of Dez Bryant case

I am no fan of the NCAA, they are hipocrits living off the back of these atheletes who can not even get a job at McDonalds. But it was the University who suspended him, not the NCAA.

I totaly agree with you about Reggie Bush, a fraud on two counts, the business about the hopuse from his patrents and his accepting money for what he calls talent. He is an average back at best, Houston looks pretty good for taking All Pro Williams.

Posted Sunday September 27, 2009, About: How bad is Tebow's concussion?

Yes it was a clean hit and I don't think the young man realized that Tebow was knocked out and hurt. Even in this day and age of celebrating every play that you are involved in, I don't think the kid is that self absorbed to be patting himself on the back for hurting someone. People need to listen to Jim Brown when he said act like you have been there before (in end zone scoring) or in this case done your job, tackling the QB. Most atheletes High School and up ought to try something called sportsmanship and quit the chest thumping celebrations and nonsense after completing a play.

Posted Wednesday September 23, 2009, About: Plaxico breaks into tears

Dic Cheny did not have an unregistered hand gun, and he did not discharge it in New York city limits. That is what Plaxico was cahrged with, not shooting himself in the leg. Dick Cheny's was a hunting accident, Plaxico's was a punk trying to impress people by acting like a thug, trying to show how bad he was . He was offered a lesser time deal by the DA abd he thumbed his nose at it, it is his own fault for where he is at now. The one's I feel sorry for is his wife and kids, they are truly the ones who are losing out. Hopefully his son does not follow in his father's footsteps.

Posted Thursday August 27, 2009, About: Vick's alcohol-use provision unclear

How does Dungy or Vick look like a fool? The man had one drink at the airport bar waiting for a flight. He didn't cause a scene, get hammered, run over someone, or even drink and drive. It is pretty sad when an adult can not have a drink and not do anything wrong that it gains this kind of attention. I don't know who is more ridiculous, you or the press, or just maybe both.

Posted Monday August 10, 2009, About: Newman: Cup races too long

Wouldn't know about that, why don't you explain it to me.

Posted Sunday August 09, 2009, About: Newman: Cup races too long

Well I have been following NASCAR since I was 8. That would be 37 years now. I live in CA since I was stationed here while serving 22 yrs in the Navy, so I do not consider myself a NOOB. believe it or not, people other than those from the southeast do understand racing and the strategies involved, so why don't you take your backwards arse thinking and stuff it!

He is not saying shorten all races, just some of them cornpone! Tell me that Pocono should not be shortened, even a good ole boy like yourself can see that that race is 100 miles too long, the drivers are almost bored to death by the end of the race. If you want to get upset about something, how about NASCAR, the way they treated Carl Long, those ridiculous cars they have them driving. How about making the teams put cars that actually look like what is in the showroom out on the track?!

That won't happen because NASCAR is too CHEAP to build all the templates for the different makes. They can put the safety features of the COTes on any car. If you are looking for someone to blame look at NASCAR, their greed and sense of self worth is what is wrong with the sport.

That and the lack of Old timers like you and myself not voicing our opinions to NASCAR better, but fans are now, look at the stands, they are not full. NASCAR says it is because of the economy, no it is the OUTRAGEOUS ticket prices, concession prices, hotels and so on, people are tired of the overinflated greed.

So take your foul attitude, your blame of others and learn some of that "Famous Southern Hospitality" that you obviously did not learn at home and grow up!

Posted Saturday August 08, 2009, About: Jesse Jackson: NFL colluding against Vick?

Keep it up Jesse, with your help Vick will never get signed again. With all the attention that you intend to bring I am sure any owners considering Vick will let him go. The owners are worried about ALL the negative attention Vick will bring, which is not good for business. With you beating your gums about collusion.

It is any owners right not to hire ANY player that they do not wish to, just like it is your right to spew your hate and and accuse others of collusion. Last time I checked businesses are free to hire or not hire anyone they wish, especially if they are convicted felons. I am sure if you asked Vick, he would tell you to shut up and that he does not want your help, but that I guess would not matter, you are going to help him whether he wants your help or not.

Posted Thursday August 06, 2009, About: Is agent misleading Crabtree?

Thank you ORF! Everyone was calling the Browns stupid for not drafting Crabtree. Techs coach called the Browns out when they said Tree was a Diva and were worried about that. Well...Cleveland's 1st round pick and ALL of their picks are signed and in camp. Good luck Niners!

Posted Thursday July 30, 2009, About: Stepmother files slander suit against Mayfield

Does anyone else hear the Deliverance banjos playing in the background any time there is a Mayfield posting besides me?

Posted Monday July 27, 2009, About: Prosecutors want Plaxico in prison

He is charged with Illegal possesion, and discharging a weapon in public. Two years is a year and a half off of the MANDATORY 3 year sentance. He was offered a plea deal earlier and said no, it would have been less than 1 year so he has noone to blame but himself....Again!

Posted Monday July 13, 2009, About: Kurt, Jimmie swap paint and words

I thought this was a JJ and KB thread? You all kill me with the Jr hatred, are you that jealous of the guys for what he has and you don't? That what it appears to be, jealous that he has and you don't so you hate and bring him up in a thread not even mentioning him.

Posted Saturday June 27, 2009, About: Danica intrigued by NASCAR move

Danica is a good driver in the IRL, a little above average, but she is not killing the competition. Moving to NASCAR I feel would be a bit much for her. 1st the race schedule, 36 races VS. 17. All the personal apperrances. If she does not think that NASCAR would not have her EVERYWHERE, she is crazy. They will pimp her out worse than Stroker Ace was! 2nd, hustling a 3400 lb car around vice 1500 lb car, with half the tire surface that she has now. 3rd, 43 cars per race vs. 20 or 22, alot more traffic to deal with.

Now I am sure I am going to be called a Neanderthal for saying anything against Danica, but the fact of the matter is she is not ready for CUP. She has no time in any kind of car with fenders on them on a race track. I believe this is her trying to drive up her price in the IRL. She did this when she was at Rahal/Letterman and got AGR to pay, now she is doing it to get Gannassi to pony up.

Both NASCAR and Danica would lose if she came in and failed, her rep as a driver would be ruined and NASCAR would look like the money grubbing entity that they are. Just look how long it has taken Montoya to start to emerge and he was a world champion driver. Stay in IRL Danica, you and NASCAR would not like the end result of you coming here.

Posted Tuesday June 23, 2009, About: Goodell to come down hard on Burress

Thanks.

Posted Tuesday June 23, 2009, About: Goodell to come down hard on Burress

Nope, not a Seal, iddn't claim to be one. I never said being in the military gave me the right to call someone ignorant and an idiot, and scum was your choice, not mine, but a good one on your part. I get that right from the Constitution, and mine is not better than anyone else, it is just there. I am glad you served the country, too bad you are still a racist, but at least you did your duty before spewing your hate.

And as far as "with all due respect" goes, you don't have to be in the military to know that that comment has nothing to do with respect. Not embarrassed being in the Navy, and I don't have to read through my service to get yours or anyone elses approval. You are very eloquent, any other big 4 letter words you want to share with us? Take care, try to remember what you used to fight for, do these words mean anything to you...HONOR, COURAGE AND COMMITMENT?

Posted Monday June 22, 2009, About: Goodell to come down hard on Burress

You are an idiot! Just because you type "with all due respect" does not make it right, everyone knows what that means. Are you getting your white hood cleaned and pressed for the big rally? Take your ignorant, bigotted thoughts and go. I spent 22 years in the Navy defending the rights of all people in this country, and yes even scum like you, but now that I am retired I can say what I feel. People like you make me sick, you don't speak the truth, you spew evil and hate out of your mouth. Don't ever say that you speak for me or say that you are just saying what I am affraid to!

Posted Friday June 19, 2009, About: Sources: Browns to delay Stallworth decision

They are probably waiting to see how long his suspension is to see if they should cut him, or if someone wants to offer a trade for him. I do not see him playing for the Browns again. The other matter is the cap hit, the Browns will cut him when he will count the least against the cap. My last thought is a Team should not have a player count against their cap if they are suspended without pay, if they are not playing or being paid, why should his salary count against the team?

Posted Sunday June 14, 2009, About: Waltrip may drive part-time

Mikey will probably semi-retire and hand the 55 over to Truex. Martin's younger brother already drives for MWR, you have to admit that the 00 and the 47 are doing well, better than GER cars are doing. Mikey has too much on his plate and needs to focus on running his teams, they are getting better every year. Mikey will probably run the restrictor plate races and maybe Bristol or Richmond, would not be surprised to see him try and get the #15 off of GER to run part time.

Posted Friday May 29, 2009, About: Frustrated Junior OK with crew chief change

Part of his lack of focus may have been a result of him worrying about the hammer that was going to fall on Tony jr. Now that it has happened, maybe he can start to get his head on straight.

Posted Friday May 29, 2009, About: Plaxico 'deathly afraid' of jail

What is ridiculous is that whenever a young black man decides to destroy his life with stupidy and by breaking the law it is everyone elses fault or "they" are racist because the law is being enforced! He was given a break and an opportunity to take a Sweet deal and HE turned it down. So how is "They" at fault and trying to destroy his entire existance? "They" didn't, He did.
