PETA is going to have a field day with this. Especially if he's retired. This time, I really can't say that I'll blame them.

Why? Because he ran poorly? Hell if that was the case they would be shelling my house as bad as the last few i have ran have finished. Because his feelings are hurt?

If he ran poorly as a result of any physical distress, they will be all over it. They openly questioned whether he should be running when the quarter crack issues came up and now this? They will absolutely tie this together, whether they actually tie together or not.

Unless they are betting nothing they say has any validity. If I bet on BB I may be pissed (even i wasnt dumb enough to do that)

They also want to bring Larry Jones up on charges...only a simpleton would give them any creditability. You know some people think Hitler did some good things too...

I don't give them any credibility at all. But it's interesting that you bring up Hitler. On the flip side of that, not every organization that is as stupid as they are, is wrong all the time.

By saying that they have a valid argument, you are giving them a credtability. Anybody can make idiotic statements in public and gloat once in a while that they are right. That doesnt make them smart or creditabile. As a matter of fact that happens here on a daily basis.

of course it would be.

people ask who wins at daytona, or indy, or pay attention to the ncaa final game-but not the other 364 days of the year. people hear of sports and know their biggest day, that in no way makes people become fans at any other time of year.

if people on here want to make new fans, take your kids. or your young nieces or nephews. the people who cram into new york to maybe see a tc winner are only there to say they saw one (if/when it happens)-it won't make them come back. they've seen what they wanted to see. it's up to fans to continue the sport, to promote it within their own circle.
