Full Throttle

Triple Crown Spurs Villeneuve - Wait… didn’t a filly just win the last leg of the Triple Crown? Oh well, it doesn’t matter, Jacques is a horse’s ass regardless. (I could have been nastier and made reference to a glue factory so stay off my back!)

(Ralf) Schumacher Told to Improve - Gee, ya think? Guess the single point scored on the season last week in Canada isn’t enough for Yamashina-san.

Hamilton Snubbed by Letterman - What the hell is that about? Letterman went out of his way to pimp, if you’ll excuse the expression, Danica when she was part of his race team. Note to Bernie, give Dave a call and jack him up!

MeThinks the next two headlines are joined at the hip. What do you think?

U.S GP ‘Not Vital’ F1 - “There are bigger markets for us to be in other parts of the world. We could be in India soon instead of the United States. We don’t have a lot of sponsors from the U.S., no American teams and only one driver,” Bernie Ecclestone said. (Soon? Bernie says. How about this story is time stamped 4 minutes after the following story.)

India awarded F1 race for 2009 - “We have received a letter in this regard from Bernie Ecclestone, CEO of Formula One. The IOA will be the promoter, the first event of which will be held in 2009,” Indian Olympic Association (IOA) president Suresh Kalmadi told a news conference. Hmmm… the sub-continent’s monsoon season generally starts in July, just after the current U.S GP date. Co-incidence? Who’s to say but Bernie himself.

This ain’t news: Standing up for what you do only counts when you actually do what you say you did - The David Poole/ESPN cat fight over who broke what concerning Dale jr. is getting Fugly. tsk… tsk… tsk, calling each other liars! How unbecoming of ink-stained-wretches. But funny as hell.

No headline… just get a grip! Numbers have NEVER won a race in NASCAR. If these people have their panties in a bunch over a perceived “betrayal” and hope to cling to the past via a #8 I got betrayal for ya:

Betrayal is Wayne Gretzky leaving the Oilers for LaLa Land and the LA Kings. The move solidified hockey in the southwest, changed the entire face of the sport and the Oilers have never been the same since. Junior’s move is a mere bump on a pickle in comparison.

Little E’s move brings chills to Gordon haters - I wouldn’t count on any major change of heart for the anti-Jeffy crowd. They’re infected with something acutely terminal I’m afraid.

Best “antidote” I’ve heard came from Boris Said. He suggested Hendrick name Jeffy as the owner of Dale Jr’s car. Now that would be hilarious! One would think it would be like a NASCAR version of the Stealth Fighter with all manner of cans, bottles and death rays bounced back to their sender!

Swoosh - Hey, don’t mess with Jerry. He was first out of the box on May 20^th predicting the Jr/Hendrick combo. (and here’s another mention of The Swoosh)

More later…
