    Tony Stewart purposefully ran someone over?

    There was no imminent danger, it was simply an inexperienced 20 year old kid losing his temper...making the wrong decision.

     

    Many are also arguing Stewart NEVER should be racing in these types of events, he already broke his tibia/fibula a year ago and cost his team dearly in the final Cup standings AND it's putting the NASCAR brand at risk when independent teams/non-unionized contractors are involved in accidents/incidents like this.

     

    I wonder how many of his fellow NASCAR drivers were going to refuse to run today if Stewart was determined to race? Did Stewart decide, his sponsors/team or Bill France/NASCAR?

     

    Reminds me of that scene in RUSH where a lot of the drivers pushed Nikki Lauda to race in Germany when the track conditions were bad and he ended up getting into a horrific accident.

    Absolutely none of the others drivers would have refused to drive. I'm sure most are offering their support.

     

    There is no way Tony did it on purpose, yeah he might have tried to f*** with the kid but it was an accident either way. Kid shouldn't have gotten out of his car and ran down the track. You're asking for something like that to happen if you do.

    I have nothing against Paul George, it's just not THAT big of a deal. If he had torn his ACL, there wouldn't be nearly so much fretting about it despite it being a more serious injury. They're acting like the dude died. This happens to soccer players all the time. PG will be fine and unless they want to go Rose level with the recovery, he should be back before the season ends.

     

    And yes, it will be a bad thing if this kills international basketball. It drives interest around the world and a game like last night was a lot of fun to watch. Of the four major sports, basketball is by far the least likely for players to get season ending injuries. That's why Paul George is the first guy to have an injury of real note while playing for Team USA

    Being a hitter in baseball is much less riskier.

    WHITE SOX WINNER!

    Phillies have multiple huge contracts. Sox would have 1 and that's with Sale and Q locked up to extremely team friendly deals. Again, assuming they unload Danks, if the Sox add a guy at ~25M that would bring the payroll up to 53M pre arb. Speaking of arbitration, Sox really only have to pick up Nate Jones, who won't be expensive. If JR thinks this team can contend, which he should IMO, you don't think the payroll would be in the 90-100M range? Max/Cueto/Shields wouldn't even put them close to that.

    No one should be payed 25 million on this team. That's crazy.

    One would imagine the entire Dutch men's national soccer team would have to have been on that plane (going on a tour of SE Asia, for example) to move the bar to "outrage" unfortunately.

     

    Btw, has a national carrier ever lost two airliners and 550+ passengers in such a short period of time? It's just weird, when you consider the odds of it happening twice to the same company.

    Well American Airlines lost two planes on 9-11 and then another in November of that year. About 400 total.

    Agreed with everything above. If the Bulls could just magically swap Dunleavy for a guard, I'd feel a lot more comfortable. I don't think anyone wants Rose getting 38 mpg, but when your only backup is Kirk, who is going to miss, at minimum, 20 games, that's a scary proposition.

     

    I can't imagine the Bulls' offseason is done yet. They should send like 5 picks with Boozer to Philly to make something happen with Richardson and Wroten. Then this team would be unstoppable.

    Don't think that trade works. Pretty sure the moves they've made on signing gasol and mirotic are dependent on boozers salary being amnestied. So they couldn't bring back any salary in a boozer trade now.
