    How noble of Notre Dame. They're such a classy university and have such integrity. ?

    This doesn't happen at other schools because it would be swept under the rug. That seems pretty classy to me.

     

    The players would miss the first quarter of the first game if this happened at Alabama.

    Would you still be a Sox fan if they moved?

    Seriously though, I think that I would remain a fan of the team that moved. I've been a Sox fan both living in and out of Chicago -- it was tough before when I could only see the games that were on WGN, but now that there's mlb.tv, that's how I watch them all anyway. Realistically, I'm a huge, huge baseball fan and I wouldn't know what to do with myself without it. I don't follow the NFL, NBA, NHL, soccer, or anything else, so this is all I got. I'd HAVE to maintain a rooting interest somewhere, and there's no way I could ever shift to one of these other pre-existing clowns.

     

    But here's the big follow-up question: If the Sox moved, but then Chicago got ANOTHER team a few years later (a la Cleveland Browns), which team would you root for THEN?

    I'd absolutely become a fan of the second team.

    Good thing Robin waited for the Giants to tie it up to take Petricka out of there, lord knows he didn't wanna lose the game.

    So one of the other guys could blow it? Give me a break.

    It is pretty much either or. Either he is a bad enough driver that he is the only driver ever to hit another driver or he tried to buzz the guy made a mistake and hit him. I really don't see another option.

     

    Other drivers have gone after others in all different scenarios and no one has ever hit one. So he is either and bad driver accidentally hit him or he tried to buzz the guy and realized to late that he was too close and accidentally hit the guy.

     

    I don't believe he tried to hit him if that is the malice to which you are referring.

     

    Again this is all just my opinion from my experience in racing and with Stewart.

    This isn't as common as you think, and if it happens in nascar there'll be a voice in your ear warning you that they're out of their car so you know to look out for them. Also any time this has happened in nascar they moved down to the lower end of the the track and stopped moving. They also wait until things have calmed down and the cars have went by a few times, and use the safety vehicles as shields. Ward was actively moving and pointing like an idiot before the safety vehicles arrived. He looked like a football player juking. It was weird.

    Or at least people who don't follow racing. While he should not have been out there, it happens all the time. Stewart is only culpable from the fact that he should have missed him. Out of all the times racers have gone on the track to yell at another driver, this is the only time a driver has been hit.

    Ehh the general consensus from people who know stuff about racing seems to be that tony isn't at fault.

    Lol, clearly you've already got your mind made up of what you wanted me to think. So go ahead and continue to make up lies and make inaccurate assumptions. That sounds better than actually realizing your insults to me are insults to people like Caufield too, who seems to share the same views as me on this. Makes it more exciting for you if I am out alone by myself on this one.

    Your words made up my mind of what you think. I also haven't insulted you.

     

    Caulfield also didn't respond to my post about Stewart and Johnson. Your opinion of this man has been entirely formed in the last 24 hours from people who want you to read or watch their stuff. Tony has anger issues, every racer has anger issues it's part of the sport and what makes it appealing, but like my Daytona post there's a lot of good to Tony Stewart as well.

    Nope. But I'll go ahead and tell you exactly what I think happened so you can stop being so wrong every time.

     

    I think he tried to either scare the s*** out of the kid, or he tried to fling dirt and rocks up on him. I DO NOT believe he tried to hit the kid. I certainly DO NOT believe he tried to kill the kid. I think it was bad luck that he happened to hit the kid and he probably feels horrible about it. The kid was very dumb from walking towards the moving cars, and Stewart was extremely reckless as well. Both were at fault, both deserve some blame in what happened. Never happens without both of their actions.

     

    There. Now feel free to reply without pretending like you think you know my viewpoint on what happened.

    :lol: I'm done. You've clearly vilified Tony to the point nothing will change your mind on the topic. And suddenly you get called out from a few people and backtrack on your thoughts. Now you claim both are at fault when yesterday according to you it was "victim blaming" to fault Ward at all.

    And if Tony Stewart didn't have a temper and was pissed off, no one is dead either.

    Yeah, Ward put Stewart in that situation...... nice victim-blaming.

    Ah, so he just blindly slammed on the gas then. Even smarter.

    I never said he tried to purposefully run over a person. Stop having arguments that no one is having.

     

     

    QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Aug 11, 2014 -> 05:05 PM)
    Nope. Never once said he killed the kid on purpose. Enough with the constant lies.

    Lol It's pretty clear from the position you're taking in this thread that yes indeed you do believe he did it on purpose.

    No, I will not give you a break. He has shown anger and retaliation on the track before. Of course people would think he would be more likely to be do something out of anger than Jimmie Johnson, whom I assume is not a hot head, based on your use of him as the other extreme.

    Debating with you is pointless. You've got this biased view that tony did it purposefully and refuse to look at any evidence or theory that exonerates him. Continuing to puppet your theories as right even though you've openly admitted to knowing nothing about racing.

     

    Maybe I should tell you about the time Tony Stewart won a race at Daytona and refused to celebrate the victory because debris from a huge accident flew into the stands and injured 28 people, and then he visited all the victims in the hospital. That's something CNN wouldn't tell you as it doesn't play into their story. Tony Stewart didn't cause that accident either so he had no obligation to do that.

    My first instinct would be to drive low on the track where it's flat and not near the guy yelling coming towards my car.

    You know how hard it is to control those cars? Sudden movements on dirt is not a good idea. I'd imagine its more like driving on snow than asphalt or concrete. You're kind of stuck with whatever line you're on.

    There is no proof he slammed the gas.... Your speculation is as good as anyone else's. The video was shot from the other side of the track. The engine noise could have been coming from any car.

     

    Also apparently sprint cars like to stall out when running slow, so you have to constantly slam the gas to keep the engine running when under caution.

     

    It appears this was a horrible accident either way. If this guy wasn't so stupid he'd be alive, that's a fact.
