Season too long anyway. Lose one from Fontana, Michigan, Pocono, and Atlanta. None draw well, boring, and Michigan is an economic wasteland wont beable to support a 2nd race. Big 3? soon to be only one.

What a stupid deal. Regardless of Kessel's relationship with Bruins management, why would they take a old, lead foooted player when the game demands skating ability. In the old clutch and grab days, sure, but not now.

Posted Thursday September 04, 2008, About: NASCAR restricts Toyota trucks

Ahh Spec racing is now the truck series. Personally, after listening to teh shrinking 3 whine all year, I hope GM, Ford, and Chrysler go broke. Their demise is not going to affect the employment rate that much since most of their crap is made in Canada or mexico. NASCAR is doing all it can to stifle innovation and engineering resulting in parade type racing. Let orgainzations win when they find something that makes them faster. Isn't that the idea??

Posted Wednesday September 03, 2008, About: Gaborik headed to Rangers?

Whenever a european is rumored to move, the Rangers are the first landing spot. Rangers are the home for wayward europeans and Sather is always willing to gamble on one. I for one would love to see Gaborik come to NY. However, I would not give up any signifgant talent to get him given his injury history.

Posted Friday August 22, 2008, About: Gillett-Evernham making changes?

Dodge is toast. Their product line focused too much on large trucks, Vans, and SUV's and when gas prices exploded, sales fell dramatically. I expect to hear two announcements very soon: at the end of the seaon that they are pulling out of NASCAR, and they are filing Chapter 11. I would not be suprised to see Honda fill their slot in 2010.
