Great picture of the Danica's accident. When we were at the track Sat. night, we walked up to the mark left by her car - pretty cool to be at that spot. My 6 year old had a great time running up and down the 18 degree banking at the start/finish line. Boy, it was coooollllld that night. Sunday's race was disappointing to say the least. Great racing, but the delays really killed it. My boy, Harvick, made such a great move on Truex that I thought he had it until..... Most hated drivers is a valid question, because we get to know them so personally in this genre of the sport. People dislike drivers due to the manufacturer they drive for, the owner they drive for, if that driver has wrecked their driver, family relations, etc. For example I dislike everyone who drives for Roush. This stems back to the rivalry he had with Earnhardt back in the 90's. I also dislike anyone who drives for Gibbs, because I am a Cowboy fan and hate anyone associated with the Redskins. So, it never ends... I am enjoying everyone's takes on the various aspects of the sport. Danelectro, when does the F1 season begin? March?

First, apologies on the Max Papis statement. He is always reffed to as a champion, so after researching his bio I know now he is not. Yes, making the 500 will make a small team prosper. Maybe Jacques Villeneuve would have been a better choice to say. Maybe JPM, but he has at least been competitive and has won in NASCAR. Again racing is racing no matter the form. But to say what league has more talent than another is ridiculous. Just because drag racers go as fast as they can for 1/8 or 1/4 in a straight line doesn't mean their talent isn't any less impressive as a road course racer, rally car racer or dirt car racer. It is all about racing in various forms and different talents. F1 racers are very talented, but I still think the racing/competition among the teams, drivers and manufactures is not as exciting as NASCAR or some of the other forms I stated earlier. With that said, who do you think will win the F1 series this year? Any surprises coming up? Will Ferrari be on top again? Is Michael coming back to beat Ferrari? There are some interesting issues that can be debated...more so than if NASCAR = WWE. Nice discussion, must get ready to go to the track!!

I see both points of view, Danelectro, but come on. F1 is very technologically advanced, yes - but the racing sucks. Hardly ever any passing, not much in the personality dept., they have "team orders" which is more like WWE than NASCAR in pre-determining a possible outcome and head of the organization (ole Bernie) is completely on the take and an ego-maniac. But I do enjoy the 1st lap and first couple of turns of the race. Then snooze time.... American LeMans series is fun to watch. Again different types of racing take different types of discipline. Restrictor plate racing is like a chess match, positioning yourself three steps ahead, if possible. Plus, even though they predominantly make left hand turns, the constant changes that are necessary due to a changing track, tire wear, weather, better racing lines, poor handling, etc. make NASCAR every bit as challenging as anything other form of racing. When you see former F1 champ Max Papis crying due to making the Daytona 500, because how important the race is and how difficult it is to race well - especially for open wheel racers - then I don't see how you can just dismiss it as a professional wrestling type of league. If it was that easy, many others would come in and do well immediately. But, they don't. To each his own, but it is too popular for fans of other racing series to dump on NASCAR. Truck race rained out last night, so we're going tonight!! Locked and ready for great night!! Go KHI!! Sunday's prediction...Kasey Kahne, as much as I don't want to admit it - the Fords as a whole look good.

Well, since Speedweeks are wrapping up this weekend and I see that no racing threads are in place for the 2010 season - let's talk some racin'!! Will Jimmie Johnson win his 5th consecutive title? Will Danica Patrick win in NASCAR? Will Dale Earnhardt Jr. have any success at all this season? So many story lines.... I think Tony Stewart is going to win the title this year - even though it is obviously tough to pick against Johnson. Danica is going to get eaten alive Saturday during the Busch (Nationwide) race - it she makes it at all. It is pouring down here in the Sunshine State and they are supposed to qualify shortly. Dale Jr. is a headcase and can't get a grasp of what it takes to get his car handling properly. I can't wait for Harvick to leave RCR and go over to Tony Stewart/Haas Racing next year. Any other forms of racing are welcome as well! Can't wait for the season to officially begin on Sunday!!

Just listening to this show this morning. Great, great show and also with the snow talk after Sick Again - very fitting for this week!

Judas Priest - Screaming For Vengence was a pinnacle album back in those classic early 80's years of metal.

Not a bit here - but it was almost freezing last night, which sucked. Used to live in "the snowbelt", so I know what ya'll are going through!

Taylore, you must stop speaking like that - I can't keep my attention on the thread!

She did pretty well, yes. BUT, that last note was a bit rough!

They were lack luster to say the least - at this point I prefer to just call them The Oooo, since they have lost half of the members. I don't think Lady Gaga would have been that bad - at least more interesting than those two geezers. The stage and Starky were the only redeeming parts of the show, IMO.

Congrats to all of the fans of the Saints and the city of New Orleans as a whole - you earned it! Looking forward to the 2010 season and the next Super Bowl @ Jerry World!! Go Cowboys!

Fade Away - Alice In Chains

^ Maybe, just maybe.....

What I THINK they will play are "Nobody Loves Me and Neither Do I" and "Mind Eraser, No Chaser". What I HOPE they play are "Elephants" and "Gunman". Hopefully with all of the lame skits that are usually on it, they will let them do 3 songs!!

One Slip - Pink Floyd

Great show! Recent re-run discussion on Ozzy inspired me to pull out Blizzard Of Oz and Diary Of A Madman discs, which were my favorites when I was growing up. Good memories with those discs. Love when they go on location and interview or f*ck with different people.

That's the part that caught my eye also. I was wondering if you had any info on that statement. I guess it is news to you, too!

You know, I knew he did some U.S. dates with SS but they never(to my knowledge) came to Florida, nor with AK on their tour - pretty typical anymore. Like I said before, the video I watched of them together was rockin'! Looking forward to whatever he has coming out next.

Obviously Page AND Plant did in order for them to take him on the road. It is very interesting how Robert has (and Jimmy but to a lesser degree, since he has played less frequently) changed musicians every couple of years. I guess it would get stale otherwise. Especially when you have worked with the greatest musicians in the world for 12 years, consecutively. Not a problem, just interesting. Whatever ole Robert is up to, I hope we get to hear something from him this year. Just saw a show w/ him playing with SS and they sounded GREAT together live. He didn't play the states with them very often. Anyone know why?

Calm down, it was a joke! Charlie, as I'm sure you know, is his son-in-law and it was posted as a "miracle" that Robert played with Phil Johnstone for 6 years, but he played with Charlie all the way through the P/P years...nevermind.

The Trial - Pink Floyd

In '78 they kicked Black Sabbath's ass across the U.S., on that tour. Another EVH/Page connection??

If you think that's a miracle, how long did he keep Charlie Jones around?

Don't Go Breaking My Heart - Elton John

^ Amen to that Knebby! Great cause to get behind Robert, hope you raise a heap of $ for them.
