Excellent. What is the Vegas line on the Tigers winning it all? What? This isn't Tiger related???

I threw the pitch to you right down the middle & your comment is "The Bumper on the Curb"???

You gotta do better than that .............

Stefan Wilson injures his back in a practice crash.

Expecting JR Hildebrand to take over the ride for the 500.

Adjust your picks accordingly.

Honda driver Graham Rahal will be taking over the Chevy ride left vacant by Wilson's injury.

Must have some interesting negotiations for both Honda and Chevy to agree to the deal.

So the HONDA driver now identifies as being a CHEVY driver

If I was the tin foil hat type I would be wondering how it was that Rahal's teammate was the one that caused the crash where Wilson got hurt. Then Rahal gets the call to replace Wilson.

He said that back when race car drivers were dying every week on track.

There is no way he would say the same even forty years ago, let alone now.

Don't let NRSC find out, NASCAR will have to build a dedicated pit row.

I usually do not agree with Nascar guy but anyone that doesnt think auto racing is a sport needs to put a driving suit on in a car that’s 130 degrees and see how you do. Personally I’d rather face Randy Johnson in his prime or try to guard Shaq in the post

I've always said anything you smoke and drink beer while you do it is a game: darts / pool / bowling / golf / adult softball are examples.

Now, there are pro leagues for all of the above, it takes skill to play, and some folks make a damn fine living from bowling,<for example> - but in my opinion these are games not sports.
