Weird ending spoils Talladega

It was a descent race. But i wish NASCAR had thrown just one more caution so everyone wouldn't be worried about fuel. Twards the end the whole "get in lone and follow the leader" thing was getting old. Larry, Darrell and Mike did a good enough job keeping us semi interested until 10 lamps to go.
My problem is this. Well, I have a few problems.
#1 - I have a problem with Kyle Busch, always have, and i like his brother. This i think will be the 3rd time this year he has left the track with out being interviewed buy fox or NASCAR. Tony (missing his balls and all, see previous post) stayed around and actually spoke with the reporters. If he doesn't want to be in the limelite get out of racing. If he doesn't want to be fined for sayng something stupid, hire and an interpretor like a japanese pitcher.
Alot of people hate Jeff Gordon, but he does not shy away from the good or the bad press. He even made a joke about it in victory lane. I'll admitt i never root for him (unless i pick him in my pool) but that showed some class. He puts fans in the seats even though those people are hoping he hitts the wall at 200mph. Kyle on the other hand acts like a 2 year old that didn't get his icecream and went up to his room to cry. I read no reports anywhere that said he was hurt from either the crash on saturday or the one on sunday. If he's injured that is one thing, if he's just pissed, that's another.
#2 - if NASCAR had a catagory for "comback driver of the year" right now it would be Jamie McMurray. With all the attention on Gordon and JR. Does anyone else realize he's 7th in points? (HELLO McFLY!!!!!). Nice job so far Jamie.
#3 - Also some earlie atta-boy's to Kurt Busch (brutal season lasty year) Clint Bowyer (goes unnoticed every year) David Stremme (roockie) and Elliot Saddler (gotta love a guy with 400 hound dogs) For hanging in the top 15 in points and letting everyone else know "we ain't going no where".
#4 - On to Smoke. Back off McMurray. The only thing David Gilliland didn't do was climb in Jamie's car and turn the wheel into Tony. You want to blame someone for your bad finish you have your choice of Mcdonalds, Wendy's or BK. If you fat ass lost 25 pounds you'd probley get alittle better gas milage. (not really, but i'm venting, bare with me).
#5 - For all his hype coming into this year Kasey Kahne has layed a big egg. Is he doing too many commercials with the 3 crazy chicks? Or is he doing the 3 crazy chicks and is too tired to race? (Things that make you go Hmmmmmm........)

Other Update's
"Pacman" to appeal his suspension. Yup, knew that was going to happen. He's gonna loose what 2.3 million this year if he doesn't play? Gotta keep that posse armed and feed.....

Steinbrenner say's he beleives in Torre. Can anyone say "kiss of death?"
He's gone. Not even Jeters wining and A-rods homeruns could save his ass. Stick a fork in him.

Have a good afternoon.

Alot happened this weekend

So we'll just highlite unless i get off on a tangent about something.
THE DRAFT
I'm not too big on the draft because except for the class of 83 most of the "better" NLF players have come from the lower rounds. Brady Quinn will be just fine as long as everyone give him his one crappy year. (hopefully he does not pull en Eli Manning and have to go threw 3 of those years). But how is it that the biggest buzz of the draft is Moss going to the Pats? Now they have something they have not in the past few years, too many good receivers. Moss, Wes Welker, Donte Stallworth, Troy Brown, and Kelly Washington. All i can say ig good think Troy like to play defence and return kicks.

THE NBA
The HEAT are gone.
The Lakers are on the brink.
The nets are about to kick the Raptors to the curb.
And Golden State (holy crap, GOLDEN STATE!) Is about to drop the Mavs. Jessica Alba is Golden State's #1 fan. NUFF SAID!

Michael Vick
Meet with the league and is sorry for anything he might have done. If Pacman and Henry deserved there suspensions what do we do with Vick? Slap him on the rist and tell the rest of the league it "wasn't as bad" as Jones and Henry? Too bad Altanta traded there best quarterback to houston or this may have turned out diffrent.

MLB
Stud of the weekend. Troy Tulowitzki. Not sure who he is? Here's a hint. Made an unassisted triple play and hitthe game winning HR over Altanta.
In case your missing it, funnest team to watch in the league, The Diamondbacks.
(Yankee fans please turn your head)
We will not talk about the 509ft homer by David or Mr. Cora's (essentially game winning) homer, but will will mention these facts.
Johnny Damon 4 for 32
Bobby Abreu 2 for 30
Hideki Matsui 3 for 17
Robinson Cano 1 (ONE) for 18

Cubs / Cards game is canceled to to the passing of pitcher Josh Hancock.
My thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends, teammate's and fans.
Smell the roses, see a sunset, feel the ocean under your feet..................
