and dont be surprized when I tell you opinions are like assholes everyone has one..  the topic was crybabies in sports, I guess im a crybaby on a pointless MESSAGE board. just take it as you wish. Some, including you, have agreed with my so called rant. you just choose to try call out iriony to get a rise off your comments, i guess thats ok, if thats what your looking for, its your story man..

 you are the one still posting pointless rantings on what you deem is a pointless message board.

 hey i apologized, but you can get all bent out of shape because i joked with you a little and if you can't take it you can take your opinion and your asshole and vacate anytime you want. no one is forcing you to be here, or to comment. sometimes the playground gets a little tough for some people.

i stand by my earlier post that said some of the biggest crybabies in sports are on this forum......at times

to indy and beyond!!

i havent lost alot of sleep over your post.. speeking of bent. maybe you should get bent if you cant handel the playground.

If Lindsay Vonn was my girlfriend i'd tell them to kiss my ass.

Id still like to see video of his exwife kicking his ass in the street! 

i'm really not concerned about your sleep. i know if you have trouble with it you can just go watch nascar.

there really is no point in discussing it any further because as you have indicated everything on here is.....pointless.

to indy and beyond!!

see I knew if you read long enuff you would start to understand the differance between a crybaby and a simple opinion, Im not running for Govenor of your town so winning your vote wasnt my point (aka pointless) this is just conversation.. you can choose to debate differances, to which you have not, you have actually solidified my (personal) assesment of todays Nascar.. im not going to gloat in it. hell, ill shake your hand if we agree, and if we dont, give me a honest debateable different opinion and I will respect your view, ya know, ill give it a shot, from a third persons perspective and not my (ranting  bias opinion) the newcomers to the sport may find enthusiasim in todays Nascar, in honesty it grew alot of fan base and it grew quickley, thats fine for Autoracing in general, but "OUR" type of racing is more specific, it takes a degree of communicating with todays newbie race fan as to how a Sprint show is run, im excited about it, ill explain sprintcars to a 3 year old girl or a 90yr old grandpa, I love it that much. I strive to explain in great detail  whomevers ears are willing to listen the ins-and outs of sprint racing, im by no means a historian I was shittn diapers when the glory days were underway. But you cannot find too many that will top my passion for the sport, (again IMO) if found a few fellow drivers that are huge fans and not just drivers also, this is kinda a difficult line to understand with drivers,  Im a Fan/driver/owner, Hell i come on a pointless messageboard and post with diehard,and light intrest fans, I dont care, Im a Fan too.. If my pocket would allow it i would be too buisy to proubly post on here, but im not.. Im a blue collar racer and im glad to own it, i found a way to harness that value, some choose to step on it, thats fine its your own neck your stepping on, Im the same as you.. the fan.. I choose to compete when i can. i keep the lights on in this house and the bread on the table too. I use to be a pretty loyal Nascar fan I followed Tony,Darrel,Cale,Petty,Allison, Labontie, those days were different to me, the US Auto manufactures still seemed to have a tidbit of desighn involved, that was stockcar racing, todays cars are the same template with different stickers, remember when a driver was sponsored for a season, and not just a race, remember those days, Sprint racing can be debated to be somewhat of the same ordeal, but it has a different attraction to it, todays Sprint engines are labled by the builder, its basically a hunk of alloy that is massaged into a specific race piece, Chev-Mopar-Ford it doesnt matter, some desighs are better than others , some are not, todays typical Chev desighn engine sometimes doesnt even share the same firing order anymore, its a combination of trial and error and huge engineering feets to accomidate the duty at hand. But to me the racing has a 80%chance of being exciting, a guy doesnt need to weed thro two hours of the reporters scanning back to 35th position to elaborate on someone getting thier ass handed to them..  too many smoke and mirrors type gimmicks to try make up for the fact 80% of the race is boring.. I dont know if Nascar will ever reguain my attention, and Honestly, as long as I have sprint racing, I dont care.. my intrest is Here.

 Remember, AJ and Mario showed up at Daytona and won!!... Check out these names at Riverside in 63. I was a freshman at Upland High School and hell yes I was there and rooting for the USAC boy's..http://fantasyracingcheatsheet.com/nascar/races/results/1963/riverside-international-raceway/riverside-500/791

Half the lies they tell about me aren't true. 

The FANS...they expect everything for their dollars.  They demand the right of telling owners who to hire, they demand the track run a schedule to suit them.  FANS demand owners incur the high cost of traveling long distances to prove which geographic territory has the best talents.  Well not all fans, just many on message boards. 

Really?  I can't speak for everyone on this board but I will tell you how it is in my world--and I'm not patting myself on the back but telling you what I put in to support these venues/events like many others on this board do.

I work 50-60 hours per week and save money all year so I can go to as many races as possible--same goes for other sporting events that I go to--hockey games, football, baseball, etc.  These events are exactly that--events.  They cost a ton of money for me and my family of 5 to go to.  And, I will bet you that the majority of the folks reading this are in the same boat--they work hard all year to afford to go to these events.

So--let's clear something up.  I don't demand that anyone do anything for me at all.  If your track doesn't want to run a schedule I like, that's your business.  If you don't want to promote and bring in the best possible talent to your show--fine by me--don't do it.  But guess what dumbass--I also DON'T have to go to the shows.  I'm not spending any money on a bull$hit show that I don't like! 

Nascar made the absolutely terrible decision of building the COT car years ago.  The racing got even more boring than it already was.  No last lap passes--hell no passes at all.  No drama at all.  Am I spoiled for no longer attending Nascar events because they bore me?  Absolutely not.  I'm not spending my hard earned money on that.  Not spoiled--I'm on a limited budget and my money only goes so far. 

Funny you say that....why, just this morning I sent emails to the car owner of the #83 demanding my favorite driver in it, an email to Eldora demanding 410, 360 and nonwing every Saturday night this season, and while I was at it, I sent one to Vladimir Putin demanding he get the hell out of Ukraine.

Thank you sir... Pro golfers walk 6 miles a day every day they play on very uneven and inconsistent terrain, and they treat their backs, knees, wrists and shoulders like crap to play at that level. A pro golfers swing twists and coils the body ridiculous amounts, and they leverage off thier knees to coil that far...then they slam a steel rod into the ground at 115 MPH 50 times per round and another 300-1000 times on the practice range per day and absorb all that shock in their wrists and shoulders.

Anybody who is seriously having lower backs spasms or has any type of bulge or herniation in a disc...or who is dealing with a knee injury... should absolutely not try to play golf at that level until they are rehabbed. With all the muscles it takes to have such powerful repeatable swings it doesn't take very much of a problem to completely screw up your game at that level.

With that being said, you rarely see Tiger withdraw from a tournament when he's up toward the top of the leaderboard, and by mid round on Saturday anytime he's 8-12 shots back most golf fans start betting on when he will pull out and which "injury" he will use as a reason....hahaha 

Loose is when you hit the wall with the rear of the
car, tight is when you hit the wall with the front of
the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall and
torque is how far you move the wall.

I'm leaning towards your last paragraph.  If Tiger is within 2 or 3 shots of the lead we never even have a story.  I have had some very serious back spasms and know people who have had some very serious back spasms.   Tiger--and I don't care if you have a different opinion--is having what amounts to the average person's aches and pains.  His knee?  Most people would not have had surgery on their knee if it were like his knee was.  He's a whiny spoiled baby and the only reason he had knee surgery is because it was hurt his golf game.  His "serious" knee and back pain only develop when his game tanks. 

Anyone who thinks any different--I have a couple of bridges for sale.  It didn't seem to hurt him when he was pinning the waitress from IHOP against the wall. ?  (or was it Denny's?)         

Do you have pictures of these bridges? 

You obviously haven't taken a walk for 8 miles while swinging a stick for 18 holes. There is more fat race car drivers than golfers. 

The  biggest cry babies in any sport are  S.F. 49ers and their fans

With every loss comes with excueses of how they lost and blame everthing  but their team

ride hard and others will follow

I think that may be a trickle down effect from their coach though.
