Comments on: Where to put NASCAR among the “major” US sports? http://www.oscargamblesociety.com/relative-popularity-of-various-sports/ People don't think it be like it is, but it do.

Seriously. This is the same type of superfan that'll tell you that Derek Jeter's a better SS than ARod cuz... you know... he's got the four rings. I'm all for a spirited Red Sox-Yankee debate on the merits. But it's comments like this that remind me of renowned WKRP news beacon, Les Nessman (winner of 8 Buckeye Newshawk Awards, a Silver Sow and of course... the coveted Copper Cob award). It was Les who once noted, "When someone plays mind games with Les Nessman, they're skating on thin ice." Point taken.

And thanks for your plentiful non-NASCAR posts of late, helping to balance out the content. I don't know where we'd be without you. Indeed it will, as spring training has started.

NASCAR related posts have reached its quota for the year. While it may be the fourth most popular entertainment choice for many American's doesn't mean that I would want to spend the effort reading about which redneck didn't crash during a random left turn expedition event. I think it is possible that the genuine sports fan who comes across this site, may be quick to jump ship due to the heavily weighted NASCAR influence. This will be corrected Post Haste!
