As Jay Hart from Yahoo! explains…
With the track at Homestead-Miami Speedway flooded with bystanders wanting to be close to history, Jimmie Johnson was left with maybe a 20-foot alleyway to celebrate his fourth consecutive Cup title. Unfazed, Johnson revved his engine, smashed the brake and smoked the tires on his 3,450-pound race car right between two parallel rows of people.
OK, I’m gonna do my best car screech sound right here. Eeeeeeeerrsskk! Let’s just stop right there. It’s car racing. Folks. It’s car racing. Have any of you ever been to a NASCAR race? I for one have. It’s easily the most pointless event in all of sport. It’s cars that are extremely loud going in circles for hours on end. That’s it. That’s all it is.
And yet millions of people watch this? Why? For the crashes. There’s no way anyone watches other than for the feeling that maybe, just maybe some dude will flip over 16 times and smash his helmet on the pavement thus giving us 15 seconds of entertainment and filling our violent thirst for the day.
The only other reason to like NASCAR? The infield. If you ever go to a NASCAR race make sure to go the night before and hang out at the infield. Bring a camera, sit in one spot for a couple hours and just click the button. You will not regret it at all.
Want some proof? Here are a few pics from my NASCAR experience in Texas a year ago.
I’m not sure exactly how Cris Collinsworth avoids mentioning the giant elephant in the room during this replay, namely, Hester’s smooth ass. Because let’s face it, Hester’s got a pretty nice looking ass. I’m not in the business of checking out and evaluating dudes’ asses, but as someone who’s built like Beyonce, I’ve got to give credit where it’s due. Seriously, I have the ass of a black girl, and it’s hairy to boot. I straddled a mirror once when I was about 14 and I couldn’t eat for at least two days after.
Here’s a couple more pics of Devin Hester’s smooth behind, if you’re into that sort of thing.
I have and always will loathe EVERYTHING that is Notre Dame football, except for the movie Rudy. My hatred really came into fruition during the Charlie Weis/Brady Quinn era. Every week college football fans had to hear about how the Irish of old were back, how Brady Quinn and Weis were saviors, blah, blah, blah. Then it was discovered that they were beating crap teams and played one good game against USC.
Now the tables have turned. Irish nation is clamoring for the firing of Coach Weis, yet I find myself feeling for the guy.
Yes, unjustifiable expectations come with the job when you coach an elite program, but that doesn’t mean it’s right. Coach Weis received an insane contract extension after winning only a handful of games. The Catholic school in South Bend acted as if their messiah had returned in the form of a Belichick assistant. A few years and sub-par seasons later, Weis is no better than Judas in the minds of Irish fans. Continue Reading »
As most of you may or may not know, the Lakers put on a clinic yesterday while beating the Thunder 101-85. But it wasn’t just the beating that was awesome. It was Kobe’s over the backboard antics that solidified the win and the obvious label of “best team in the NBA.”
Oh and by the way. Are there still people out there that think Lebron James is better than Kobe? Hahahaha. Boy is that a joke. You stick Lebron on the Lakers and are they as good as they are now? The answer is not even close. It would take James 5 years to learn that system.
Gasol isn’t even fully healthy yet. Man this team is scary good. I would love to see this Laker team fully healthy vs. Jordan’s best bulls team. Tough to match them up because of different era’s and physical makeups but still, it would be fun to watch. I’d say Lakers in six.
In any event, Kobe’s shot was absurd, as are these five additional over the backboard shots.
Man if I were Reggie Bush my grin would be cheek to cheek (so to speak)
