Daytona 500 Jeff Gordon Wins

Daytona 500 what a race that was

Who knew who was going to win the great American race the Daytona 500. The first part of the race was a little boring but man what a show we got at the end.

I am not shy when I tell you that I am a Jimmie Johnson fan but the more the race went on I felt myself rooting for Rusty Wallace and Mark Martin.

Poor Dale Jarret couldn't do much as his car didn't feel like running today. Bobby Labonte had some bad luck when his engine blew early.

The crash of the day involved Scott Wimmer who walked away from a horrible crash where he flipped quite a few times.

Dale Earnhardt Jr took the lead late but couldn't hold up as Jeff Gordon blew past him after Jimmie Johnson gave him a push drafting his bumper.

A late caution flag lead us to a green-white-checker flag restart and everyone was bumping each other. It was an exciting finish I just wish we could not have any commercials on television for the last 10 laps. Who cares if they are under caution I want to see the end without watching commercials. Who pays attention to them anyway.

Teddy Bruschi

Well spring season is her but the latest news is about football

The world of football received a shock when the linebacker from the world champion New Englad Patriots suffered a slight stroke.
We hope Teddy Bruschi gets well soon. He is probably one of the last of the throwback linebackers that we hard working people can relate to.

Most people don't know that he could have made a lot more money by signing a contract to play football with another team but he took less money to stay in New England.

We hope Teddy gets healthy as soon as possible!

Jose Canseco

So Jose Canseco's book comes out tomorrow and he is going to have an interview on 60 minutes tonight. The real question is anyone going to believe him? I doubt they will after all the stuff Ken Caminitti lied about. Baseball is introducing steroids testing because it is tired of all the bad publicity and I can't blame them.

Just because Jose says he did steroids and was so called blackballed by MLB owners does that give him the right to mention names of other players. I don't think so..

Just because Jose Canseco says it happened should we belive him over the other players that are mum on the subject like Mark McQuire. Once again I don't think so.

We would love to hear from others on their point of view on this and the whole steroids in baseball as well.
