Carl Edwards
I am a pretty big nascar fan. I am not a “fan” of Carl Edwards. However, I do enjoy watching him. Sunday’s race at Atlanta Motor Speedway was an exception. I didn’t watch the race, but I watched some clips afterwards. There was one incident where I think Carl Edwards needs to be fined, or suspended or even both for what he did.
Take a Look here:
No commentsEmotions and Football
As I have stated many other times, I am a big Boise State Football fan. I have been a Boise State Fan, even back when we sucked. This year, I am a little bit upset. I don’t know whether to be mad, or whether I should be happy.Â

Obama and Football.
I am going to voice my opion about something. Why does President-Elect Barack Obama have to stick his damn nose into everything. I don’t remember where I was reading this, but I read somewhere that Obama wants to implement a College Football playoff system. Everyone else wants to do this as well, but that is not my point. My point is that there are so many other political things to worry about other than College Football. Like the big one is the current economic situation.
No commentsNascar
For those of you who know me really well, know that I really love NASCAR.
My friend sent me an email with a very funny Nascar bit, so here it is:
Payback
About 6 months ago, I wrote a post about my frustration with Kyle Busch. That race was at Richmond, and Kyle Busch wrecked Dale Jr, with just a few laps to go and took the win away from Jr. Well, there was another race a week ago on the September 7th. This same race also happened to be at Richmond. However, this time the tables were turned. This time Kyle Busch was leading, and Jr got up behind him.

BYU vs Washington
On Saturday, BYU played Washington. The game went pretty well, the scoring went back and forth. The game stayed tied or withing a touchdown for most of the game. I do have one gripe about the game, and that is the last about 30 seconds of the game.Â

Boise State Football
I have not blogged for sometime, so I thought I would post a quick blog.
It is once again the start to another College Football Season. For those of you who do not already know, I am a big Boise State Football fan. I was pretty excited to see them roll over Idaho State University. Although Idaho State is a smaller school, it was still a good game. Boise State’s starting QB is Kellen Moore, he is a pretty good QB, and only a freshman.
No comments600 Home Runs
This will be very brief, but I am a Seattle Mariners fan. One of my favorite all-time Mariners was Ken Griffey Jr. and will always be my favorite baseball player, even though he no longer plays for the Mariners.
Today, Griffey Jr., just hit his 600th home run. He is only the 6th player to reach this milestone, and 2 of them have admitted to or are accused of being on Steroids. Those two players are Barry Bonds, and Sammy Sosa. I just wanted to give a shout-out to Griffey, for reaching this marker, without being on “The Juice”.
No commentsWhy I dislike Kyle Busch
In Texas last year, a car spun in front of Dale Earnhardt Jr., and Jr. lifted to slow down as he drove into the smoke. No one could see for a few seconds, and Dale Jr. wisely slowed down to miss the accident. Kyle did the opposite, by driving blindly into the smoke with the accelerator pegged to the firewall. Naturally Kyle hit Dale Jr. a ton, wrecking both cars pretty badly. Back in the garage, cameras showed Kyle climbing from his car, roughly shoving past his crew members and storming away. As it turned out, Kyle left the track.
Near the end of the race, the 5 team of Kyle Busch got the car drivable again, but just barely. They went looking for their driver, but he was on his way home. Dale Jr., the driver Kyle had just taken out of the race, climbed into the car and finished the race. In that instance, Dale Earnhardt Jr. showed his class, and Kyle Busch showed his ass.
I think that Kyle Busch still stings from being released from his Hendrick ride last year to make way for Dale Earnhardt Jr. Some of the remarks he’s made since the announcement that Dale Jr. would be joining Hendrick Motorsports in 2008 led me to believe that he still harbors some resentment. Though Kyle has done very well at Joe Gibbs Racing, there appears to still be somewhat of a chip on the young man’s shoulder.
No commentsNascar Frustration…..
I am a pretty big fan of Nascar, especially when it comes to Dale Earnhardt Jr. Usually races are on Sundays except for this week’s race, which happened to be at Richmond on Saturday. I had totally forgot about the race until around lap 350 out of 400. Jr, was trying to get up to the front. Denny Hamlin was winning, and led the most laps during the race. During lap 379, Denny reported a flat tire, and Kyle Busch & Jr were able to catch up to him. During lap 383, Jr takes the lead. On lap 395, he is five laps away from putting an end to his 71-race winless streak. By this time, I am jumping for joy. Well, my dreams were put to rest at lap 398, when Kyle Busch wrecked Jr and sent him into the wall.
I have never liked either of the Busch Brothers (Kyle or Kurt). After today’s episode caused by Kyle, I am even more frustrated with him and dislike him even more. It will take me quite some time to get over this. This is mainly, because I have been waiting so long to see Jr get a win, and then to have it spoiled by this foolishness. Darrell Waltrip, says that it was not intentional. The more I look at it, the more intentional it looks. Kyle Busch totally screwed up, and I think he needs to be penalized and have his butt kicked.
