  1. 'The primary purpose for ratings for Disciple is to act like an insider and make the most infinitesimal ratings into a success.'
    Oooooh. Swing and a miss. Try again.

    All I know is it is not the same as it was years ago. Gone is the technology and the verve that made it all so special.'
    Neither is NASCAR. Or the NFL. Or just about any other sporting entity. Technology is not the issue. For many it is no longer 'run what you brung' but the homogenization of the competition began well before that magical 1996 date to which the mostly ignorant point.

    'I just wished that both of you would get around to admitting that cart did nothing to hurt IMS and the 500. I would go so far as to say it helped strengthen it and helped keep its luster bright.'
    I would say that it is as irrelevant as a USAC sanction today. As did every other evolutionary phase. That entity was no more or less important than any other that has occupied it over the years. They're problem was thinking they were bigger than the institution that made their existence possible. That turned out to be a mistake.

    'And yes there was a series prior to cart. And anyone willing to be truthful would admit the cart series was more successful than the old rag-tag races USAC used to put on. It was the whole reason for Gurney's White Paper and the formation of cart.'
    Oddly, however, that ‘successful’ series turned out to be anything but sans IMS teat. It appears they needed more than just bravado. And why should anyone care? It is 2012. Look ahead. Not backward.

    'But I will admit, recent history and even past history seems to indicate the Hulman/George family might not be the best entity to run it either.'
    But they have been since 1946. It is probably about time to get used to that.

    'I hope the drivers are safe in the oncoming heat. I also hope the new cars propensity to tilt to the wall when hitting doesn't cause some major head injuries or worse. I probably won't be watching...but I do want the drivers to be safe.'
    If you do not watch, why would you bother offering commentary? That defies logic. I do not watch soccer, but I do not recall ever going to a comment section to offer any words about it. But with regard to your safety sentiment, me too. And just today Dallara announced modifications to the undertray specifically designed to avoid the type of pivoting seen in the Carpenter and Kimball accidents. Kudos.

  2. Cheezits!

  3. I love the chickin in a biscuit crackers! Yummy!

  4. Wheat Thins! YUM!

  5. Sorry about being a Warriors fan, but if we really look at the items you mentioned about the Pacers, you are a bit off. Vogel calling the Heat out as floppers was nothing but a good tactical decision to call the Heat out for what they routinely do - flop and/or complain enough to get a call. Nothing wrong with getting that in teh refs head before the series starts. As for the 3 techs on Danny Granger, the first 2 were instigated by James putting his elbow up towards DG's face, so if DG took exception to it, I have no problem. I admit the last one wasn't really smart since it was a Wade and Hibbert issue - no reason for him to get involved. Lastly, if you actually watched the Hasbrough foul, he hit the ball first and then Wade pulled it down near his head so TH's arm followed through and caught him on the head. Nothing out of the ordinary except for the fact that it was Wade. If Haslem was making that shot, there wouldn't be any further discussion of it at all.

    In all, I'm proud of the team that is on the floor, the way they are playing and the way our city is rallying back around the Blue & Gold. Go Pacers.
