"He hit me!" "He hit me first!" "Nuh uh!!! He started it!!" No, that isn't a transcript of my boys and their latest brush up. Well, it is, but put that aside for now because this time the parties involved are Kurt Busch and Tony Stewart. After all was said and done,...

So, how long did it take for the drama to begin with the new season of NASCAR? Not even 24 hours. On just the first day of Speedweeks, the bad blood between Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch was flowing full force. If this is a preview of things to come, man, you better buckle yourself in, it's going to...

Just a few random thoughts on the world of sports: BASEBALL After treating Joe Torre like dirt – hey great job you’ve done managing the team, how about you make LESS money – they have decided to offer the manager job to… No, not Don Mattingly the obvious choice. They are offering the job to Joe Girardi...

First you have to wade through the "bad" and the "ugly", but hang with it. The good at the end makes it all worthwhile. 1. Michael Vick is an idiot. 2. Barry Bonds steroid use (oh, sorry, "alleged" steroid use) has turned him into the "Biggest Loser". 3. The New...

In our continuing saga of that thing called "NASCAR"... Carl Edwards, hoping to be the first driver to win both the Cup and the Busch series, hits a bit of a roadblock along the way. Although he won the crash filled race at Dover, his car failed the post race inspection. He still gets to keep...

This year, for the first time, I'm participating in a NASCAR Fantasy League. Although I've followed the sport for years (yes, it is TOO a sport!), this is the the first chance I've been invited to join in the league here at work. Although I was apparently a curse upon Tony Stewart, all three...

You know, we're halfway through the season and STILL we have guys who don't quite get it. Granted, this is not nearly as severe a violation or penalty as we've seen earlier in the season (no one suspended - "just" a $25,000 fine and probation for the crew chief, and only 25 owner...

In the continuing saga of cheating - or as the teams claim "inadvertant, honest mistakes" - we now find our way to Hendrick Motorsports and teammates Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon. This installment brings us to illegal front fenders on the No. 24 and No. 48 cars and the drivers banned from...

It’s official. In a press conference at 11:00 ET Wednesday, Dale Earnhardt Jr. confirmed the rumors that he will be joining Hendrick Motorsports beginning in 2008. They’re already calling it the "New World Order". What a team: Jeff Gordon, Jimmie Johnson, Casey Mears and now Dale Earnhardt...
