Uhhh ... its called the sports section blogs but lets hope the new rookie coach Rivera is smart enough not to take Newton as first pick since he brought up the first need is for a new QB. Hell they been saying that for years.<br />They took a Heisman and everything else winner who was "clean" with Weinke 10 yrs ago and it didnt work out. He was bigger stronger and better than Newton too plus had the 2nd best rookie season of all time. <br /><br />Better hold out for Luck in 2012 and skip the troubled one from Atlanta metro who played for 3 schools in 3 years and was backup as a freshman to Florida Gator Tebow who was a soph and won the Heisman that yr.<br />Newton went to a Jr College in Texas as a soph and then to Auburn his jr year after soliciting schools like Miss St a big wad under the table that Auburn paid. Miss St reported to the NCAA and Auburn invest from the FBI is still pending.<br /><br />Other than riding the pine behind Tebow until he could start his senior year, Newton was also caught stealing a high dollar students laptop his freshman year and thats the real reason he left Florida.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-30598487108067851242011-01-28T01:24:59.944-05:002011-01-28T01:24:59.944-05:00They should do away with the starting over for the...They should do away with the starting over for the last however many it is races. If they want the fans involved at the end then judt dont score any points for anyone for the first so many races, then start the points the last 15 or however many races they want at the end. That way every driver has a chance at the end, make the first races just for winners. Maybe give each winner 1 point to start at the end for each race they won.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-15312912260290155462011-01-27T19:07:21.315-05:002011-01-27T19:07:21.315-05:00I think everyone should just shut up, quit whining...I think everyone should just shut up, quit whining and offering opinions, and just enjoy the race!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-74804722565651106722011-01-27T14:25:04.267-05:002011-01-27T14:25:04.267-05:00Nascar still doesnt get it!

With all the team orders, how hard can that be for eighty percent of the drivers to accomplish. One of their team mates will just pull over and let them go by. Can you imagine Bobby Allison letting Richard Petty go by just so he could get bonus points. Didn't think so.

It used to be that the difference between 2nd-6th was greater than 22nd and 26th, giving at least some motivation to keep racing for the habitual 4th-5th place cruisers.<br /><br />I also agree that points should stop after 30th. Give 31-43 5 points to award making the race, and that is it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-72678599877305363662011-01-27T09:19:40.732-05:002011-01-27T09:19:40.732-05:00Scott, I'm with you on this one.
Let's h...Scott, I'm with you on this one. <br /><br />Let's have a little history lesson. Back in the '60s and early '70s, it was common to have 40-50 races a year. And of course you had the super-teams of Richard Petty and David Pearson who were so much better than everyone else they could easily win at least half the races they ran in. So (as legend says) there was a gathering at a Daytona bar where the points system we know was developed. It was put in place to force drivers to run all the races in order to win the championship. By the '80s, NASCAR was no longer holding races at campgrounds and beaches and had cut back to 29 races. At that point, the points system became obsolete. <br /><br />With all the money sponsors put into race teams these days, there is little risk of someone wanting to be in 20 races and expecting to win the title. So you have to place more emphasis on winning. <br /><br />There are 2 other issues that need to be addressed: "Start and park," where a marginal driver starts the race and a few laps in, "mysteriously" has a problem and drops out, and wrecked cars racing for 1 or 2 more spots. This causes those "debris cautions" that alter the outcome of some races. <br /><br />To provent this, award no points or money for finishing worse than 30th. Also, award no point for leading a lap. <br /><br />I would have loved to see them set the winning points at 100, then 75 points for second, then -1 point for positions 3-30. Keep the 5 points for leading the most laps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757788746378060243.post-51036793760288258082011-01-27T09:07:35.762-05:002011-01-27T09:07:35.762-05:00Agreed.
