The best sproting event all weekend was by far the Daytona 500. Despite the delays, what an awesome finish with the new rules - return of bump-drafting and upto three attempts at a green-white-checker finish (ie. upto three tries to end the race on three full laps, so as long as caution doesn't come out after the white flag is thrown). Dale Jr. going from 22nd to 10th in the first green-white-checker restart. Then going from 10th-2nd in one lap on the last green-white-checker restart. Reminded me of his dad! Hell yeah I love NASCAR! Not the last couple years with the rule chagnes, but this past weekend was awesome and reminded me of the old days. Now just need to get rid of the stupid car-of-tomorrow spoiler. They are going back to the old spoilers in a few weeks...
NASCAR is gettin' exciting again for the first time in years!
I have redneck roots, sorry. |

nascar??? :haha: :haha:
the best sporting competition of the weekend was the mavericks big wave surf competition in half moon bay.
50 foot plus waves, stoned announcers, spectators too close to shore getting pummeled and mangled by massive tidal surges. awesome.
i was a gorgeous day in hmb too. |

Boring or not, I'm still glued to my tv. I love the Olympics! Finland's not doing well at all this time around but oh well. At least we got silver in men's snowboarding, half pipe! :) I'm wearing my Finland sweater at work today to show my support :D GO FINLAND!!!
Btw, is it just me or were the men's figureskating events gayer than ever?!? |

I've never really been into the olympics, but the last few nights have been pretty entertaining to me. Shaun White? comon, his reverse mctwist 1040 or w/e its called was sick and a gold medal winner! plus the womens alpine skiing and stuff was incredibly exciting too. womens half pipe was last night and i think we got silver and gold. and that american dude that wears the black feathers in figure skating has seemed like a pretty good story too. i didn't see if he or the russian dude won last nite though.
def. the first time i've been diggin the winter olympics |

Yeah i was really into the snowboarding competition, that is what i was waiting for.
Shaun is amazing, check this out to see more of him. Redbull dropped a nice piece of change into him:

Might be kind of old news, but they built him his own half pipe in the middle of some mountains. |
