Jeff Gordon, Chris Leak, and the Mavericks

Congrats to Jeff Gordon on his 77th career Cup win...in the most boring Talladega race I can remember. Single file racing for 50 laps, then a blown engine forces a green, white, checkered...and MORE single file pace laps...then a green, white, checkered finish for a half-lap until 2 different wrecks force 2 more single file caution laps.

Then the idiots start throwing crap on the track. I'm glad they arrested some of them. Ban them from the races, and they'll quit. What's going to happen is that they'll outlaw the coolers and force the purchase of $8 beers...not quite as likely to throw it, if you paid as much as 2 six-packs for it.

I cannot believe Chris Leak didn't get drafted! Sam Olajabutu, I can understand. He's a firecracker of a linebacker, but a little short - so I can understand why he didn't get drafted even if I don't agree with it. But Chris Leak? Not drafted at all? I guess just too many teams not really needing quarterbacks.

And Dallas, Congratulations on getting the worst possible matchup in playoff history! 60 game winners down 3-1. That's gotta suck. As a Grizzly fan, I don't know anything about 60 game wins - or being down 3-1 since we keep getting swept - but I do know about worst possible matchups. I hate it for you Mavericks!
