I think it's pretty obvious Jeff is gonna retire after the '15 season. Wouldn't be shocked if there's an announcement soon and next year is his retirement tour, similar to what Derek Jeter did in baseball this year. Jeff has nothing left to gain in racing, only everything to lose. He's passed Dale in wins and at this point it's obvious there's no chance he could possibly get to 7 titles. Would a 5th title be nice? Sure, but it's unlikely and wouldn't really boost his all-time standing much. He's already cemented as an all-time great and has no shot of passing guys like Petty and Earnhardt.

Jeff's back is a complete wreck. He can't even get in or out of a car without help. He's already taking a huge risk of ruining his post-racing life. You're 43, have a wife and young kids, and have long established yourself as one of the greatest drivers ever. Why risk your future? At some point you have to let go.

As far as Chase Elliott is concerned...

He looks legit. HOF father pedigree and he's dominating the Nationwide Series. Then again, that's exactly what was said about Jr., so we'll see.

Crazy.. I remember when Gordon was the young punk kid..didn't like him much when he 1st came out but he's truly one of the best the sport has seen.

Gordon was a brash little poo when he burst on the scene.  I was working for Hendrick when Jeff was signed and remember wondering who this snot nosed kid was in the office every week or so. 

 

He is one of the best ever though.

I liked Gordon in his first few years, but I always liked #3 better and then Jr. came along in the Busch series, I started liking him and hating on Gordon. But, these last few years, Ive come to appreciate just how much Gordon has meant to Nascar over the years, and Ive actually rooted for him the last year or so. He is one of the best ever to drive in a Cup car.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
