The only reason I watch LAD games.

Posted Thursday April 24, 2008, About: Stewart leaving Gibbs for Haas

Scenario that might take a few years to pan out.

Stewart buys CNC Haas, changes name to Stewart Motorsports. In 2009, with his contract running out at RCR, a sucessful NNS team, and a long friendship and driver owner relationship with Stewart, Kevin Harvick Incorporated buys into Stewart Motorsports. With a vineyard that needs tending, feeling a weariness of being in the business so long, and still not completely over the death of a best friend, Richard Childress agrees to merge RCR with the Stewart/Harvick venture, take on a Richard Petty like ambassador role, and watch the newest NASCAR superteam pile up the hardware and rake in teh dough.

Posted Friday April 18, 2008, About: Wallace finds Nationwide sponsor

The best shot of the 28 is a photo of him most likely getting lapped? Brilliant.

Congrats on finding a sponsor Kenny. Maybe next time SI will put a head shot of you with the article rather than a photo of your car being obscured by a guy who is probably putting you down another lap.

Still cool to come down and try to hit on Alyssa Milano if we don't have a season ticket?

Posted Thursday April 03, 2008, About: New coach won't affect Gordon

Isn't IU likely going to wind up on probation, banned from the postseason, anyway? With the two other dudes being kicked off, it's not like they weren't already in heavy duty rebuilding mode anyway. Go make your money while you can, Eric. No sense hanging around a program that won't be winning anything in the next three years.

Thanks Kelvin. Next time, write a letter.

Posted Thursday April 03, 2008, About: Bowa goes off on new rule

Coolbaugh was hit in the temple, not the neck.

Posted Monday March 24, 2008, About: Japanese snubbing Athletics?

If Boston were playing Seattle, it would have been madness.

Posted Friday March 21, 2008, About: Sampson ordeal hurt Gordon

It was him. I tried telling him that while I have eligibility, I'm almost 40 and way out of shape. He apologized and said he's trying to get help.

Posted Friday March 21, 2008, About: Sampson ordeal hurt Gordon

That wrist injury has nothing at all to do with a declining shooting percentage, it's all attributable to Sampson?

Excuse me, I have a call coming in.

Posted Tuesday March 18, 2008, About: Labonte interested in comeback

Don't give them any ideas, Jr #88 Fan.

I like Terry, but enjoy the retirement and your legacy. Awesome Bill retired how many times already. I understand that racing is in their blood, but what about integrity, and having the sense to know when enough's enough, and giving up and comers their shot?

Posted Thursday March 13, 2008, About: Ned to wave flag for Dale's last race

A class act by a class guy.

Posted Monday March 03, 2008, About: Harmon takes ashes for spin

You can be sure that NASCAR will be announcing a 25 driver and owner point, $15,000 penalty, with a 6 race probation for Harmon's crew chief, come Tuesday...

Posted Sunday February 17, 2008, About: Indiana's next coach will be...

Welcome home, Steve Alford...

Posted Thursday February 14, 2008, About: Does NASCAR need F-1 rule?

Agreed. No guaranteed spots at all. Race your way in.

Posted Tuesday February 12, 2008, About: Francona waits for new contract

No WS in the previous 86 years, and now two in the last four.

I think he can pretty much write the check and Theo would sign it.

Posted Thursday February 07, 2008, About: NASCAR, Smith eye NHRA

Don Rickles....

Posted Wednesday February 06, 2008, About: Burton still looking for ride

"Looking for a ride"

Why can't they come up with a different term to use once in a while? Just to mix it up. Sounds like they're all stranded in the rain or something. Dallenbach isn't offering the tour of the track anymore is he? There's your ride.

Posted Saturday February 02, 2008, About: Manny wants $20M option

I don't get it. If he has a good to great year, wouldn't the decision to pick up the option be an easy one? Seems that the only way the decision would be difficult is if he batted .230 with 19 HR and 76 RBI or something like that.

Posted Monday December 24, 2007, About: Waltrip: 'We weren't ready'

Not ready? It's not like he spent all of his time racing last year...

Posted Tuesday December 18, 2007, About: 73-year-old to attempt Daytona

Was I downing NASCAR? Really?

And I wasn't aware that having the logo of a baseball team as an avatar made me any less qualified to comment on the increased stupidity of recent decisions made by NASCAR, a sport I also happen to be a fan of.

You're not about to deny my opinion based on an avatar, are you? Because I'm more than willing to consider yours, misspelled username and all.

Posted Tuesday December 18, 2007, About: 73-year-old to attempt Daytona

NASCAR is all about letting stupid things take place.
