Bristol

Was a damn good race!

Both lines moved, saw 3 wide multiple times, only thing that sucked for me was the last crash that took the chance to win away from brad. Im a havick and mcmurray fan too and I hate roush so i didn't like seeing them go 1-2.

Although seeing Pettys cars finish good was nice

The stands were pretty empty, wasn't there a waiting list for Bristol tickets just a few years ago? And now I think they go to California next week instead of Martinsville. Bristol/Martinsville was the best 2 race lineup they had and they had to fug it up.

 

Kenseth had a nice run going before getting ran into by a rookie. I still wish he could have went to the 22 team and stayed with Ford. Roush is a jackass.

I'm just thinking attendance may have had something to do with the monsoon on Sunday. Just a hunch.

Funny thing about Bristol is that many people come there, camp, eat, drink, socialize and never go to the track to watch the race.  They just set up a bit flat screen outside their RV and continue the party while watching the race.

 

I have seen the end of a couple races this way after leaving the track

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
