Lets go Racin' and other Weekend Observations

Hi There. Seen a whole lot of racing in the past week. First thanks to everyone who either drove or came out and supported the annual go-cart race at Adventure Racing last Tuesday at 7am. It's a lot of work and a lot of fun at the same time. It can drain you both physically and emotionally. Compared to other races, it seemed cleaner than some of the past ones, but after talking with the drivers, they told me the hits weren't as hard there were just more of them. Next year I'm going to ask the club to name the race "The BlackFly 400," cause I was getting bit pretty good. Now the Brickyard 400. I find it hard to believe that Goodyear couldn't come up with an adequate tire compound for Indianapolis. They said they tested. Obviously not enough. That race was depressing because of the endless competition cautions. Finally on to Saratoga where Mother Nature dumped 5 inches of rain and washed out most of the turf racing for the first week. Is it just me or is there a love affair going on with these turf sprint races that go 5 1/2 furlongs? Congrats to Kent Desormeaux for getting win number 5000 Sunday. It's also good to see Richard Migliore riding again at Saratoga. "The Mig" and Julie Krone used to be automatic when I would watch them race at Monmouth Park in the 80's.
The Giants have arrived at UAlbany and Jeremy Shockey has arrived in New Orleans. It was a good trade for both teams. Jeremy Shockey is one of the top TE's in the NFL but he needed a change of scenery. I think John Mara, Jerry Reese and Tom Coughlin should have a team meeting and remind all those players who are unhappy about their contracts,(namely Plaxico and Brandon Jacobs) about the team concept. If the Giants had gone 5-11 instead of winning the SuperBowl would this be an issue? Do I think the Giants can repeat as champs? Ask someone else. I've been a Giants fan since I was 5 years old and I haven't figured them out yet.
Could someone tell the KC Royals to ditch the light blue alternate unis? Only the UNC TarHeels and Houston Oilers looked good in that color. The Denver Nuggets should also dump the light blue as well. I'm starting to believe that the Pittsburgh Pirates want to be known as the LA Clippers of MLB. I think the next trade the Bucs should make is trading PNC Park to the Rays for Tropicana Field and a couple of prospects. PNC Park is a gem of ballpark and it deserves to have winning baseball played there.
Between Danica Patrick going after another female driver because she wouldn't allow faster cars to pass during a race and the bench clearing brawl in the WNBA, I was wondering if the "Gorgeous Ladies of Wresting" was planning a comeback.
A casino in Connecticut whose name rhymes with the word "fun" is using 80's songs in their commercials. I can barely keep my lunch down when I hear Toto's "Hold the Line," but messing with Rick James' "Superfreak" is going too far. Here's a couple of suggestions. Why not use Men Without Hats "Safety Dance" or Glass Tigers' "Don't Forget Me When I'm Gone." Speaking of gone...Leccese out
