Um, I'm pretty sure it's illegal to live in Detroit and dis NASCAR.
Friday IS NASCAR day! Whoo Hoo! Since I work for the government, that should mean I can show up in dirty jeans, a Jeff Gordon shirt, and flip flops, right?
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh YYYYYYYYYYYYeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

Citation, please.
Gotta watch these lawyers all the time...always trying to slip something in on ya.
If NASCAR decides to try racing on ice, I might tune in.
But I doubt it.
Just kiddin', car fans!
Very little drama in the Quest For The Cup right now. Anyone else thing this is gonna change when the two juggernauts who are a combined 22-3 in the playoffs meet up?
Could be a helluva a clash...

Sadly, that isn't true. I have a small head. I can wear child-size hats and glasses. (See profile picture for visual confirmation).

I watched the Leafs take the Cup in Five
Switching back to hockey:
I just saw the Leafs beat the Wings in 5 games for the Stanley Cup. Our Leafs TV channel showed the Stanley Cup final game from 1963 with the likes of Tim Horton, Gordie Howe, John Ferguson and others.
Games back then had a whole different atmosphere. The respect between opponents, while grudging, was more prevalent.
In the dying moments, with Toronto ahead of Detroit by one goal, things got heated up in the crease. Howe got tangled up with Johnny Bower, getting his skate caught up in the goalie's pads. Bower went down hard and after an embarrassed smile he got back to his knees.
Howe skated over and gave Bower a friendly tap on the pads. You rarely see that stuff today.
After the Cup was won, the on-ice interviews included both the winners and losers. Mr. Hockey stood arm in arm with Bower and they each held the microphone to exchange kudos to each other. It looked like a big party for both teams. No bowed heads, no tears, no quick exit to the dressing room for the Wings.
The footage between periods included a piece on five-year-old Mark Howe. He provided a wink at the end of the segment. Cool stuff.

For all you Wings fans in this thread, I just thought I would point out what happened in Boston last night.

The Bruins are definitely one of the surprise teams in the early going this year. There's LOTS of time for them to tumble back to reality though.

They've done very well. So far. But you know how crazy they get in Beantown, Frank. They're already lining up for a look at the Stanley Cup.

Talk to me during the playoffs, you homer, you.
I am no homer. . . I am a journalist. We are not allowed to be fans. That being said, it is a much easier story time when they are winning.

This is true. . . but I don't see the Leafs deciding that they are any good any time soon. . . sorry, my friend.

I bet you are also upset by that headline my editor put on my story. Sorry about that, it is out of my hands.

My Toronto allegiances are restricted to the Raptors and Blue Jays (and the latter only because the Expos are toast). My hockey heart has been beating bleu, blanc et rouge since 1960.
Go Habs Go!!

I'm not upset about anything. But I'll take back what i said about you being a homer. The article was fine and simply reported what happened.
Of course, your editor's a homer.
