It made me think of that stupid article on Salon.com on Barbaro some months back. Why, oh why will news outlets publish pieces on racing written by people who know nothing about the sport? Good for Gary Stevens.

Outstandingly well written letter by G. Stevens, and I applaud him for writing it it. This Simers (Slimers sounds more appropriate), sounds like a real dirtbag! I haven't had the missfortune to read even one article of his, and doesn't sound like I've missed a thing!

Good letter, Mr Stevens! Tell em!
If those of us that love everything about the thrill of racing, the jerks will just keep trying to jerk our chains.
Thanks for standing up and pushing back!

anyone who's ever lived in the LA area (the cesspool of america imo) and follows sports knows who TJ simers is. his sole purpose in writing anything is to be controversial, and anyone who takes him seriously is wasting their time.

the la times received more hatemail over tj simers than any other journalist on their payroll.

Well deserved mail at that! Don't know what your requisites are for the "cesspool" remark are, but we're not flooding,freezing,getting snowed in or having tornadoes,or suffering the hurricanes like most folks are,or sinking into the Gulf as New Orleans is. I hate ending a sentence with a preposition, but don't want to appear wordy!
