5, 48 and 88 eliminated from Chase, is it a time for a change at Hendrick Motorsports.?
after both Jimmie Johnson and Dale Earnhardt Jr wrecked at Kansas, their championship season ended and Kasey Kahne didn't have a good run. now all hope in a Hendrick Motorsports car winning the championship is cut down to almost gone as Jeff Gordon is the only one left in the chase.
it looks like this new chase format might be a "Hendrick Killer"
so what now for Hendrick Motorsports to insure next season is better.
is it time for another "Crew chief swamp" with everyone except the #88 getting a new crew chief via the swamp.
2 AnswersNASCAR7 years agohave the Mavs lost out on the big names in Free Agency.?
outside of Dirk, it looks like this is another free agency bust for the Mavs to get big names.
so now that it looks like Mello is ether staying in the Big Apple or is Chi-town bound, Bosh is Houston bound, Lebron is clearly now a Cav again.
so who else is left in the free agency that a big name.
and should the Mavs just focus on players who are talented but stuck in bad teams and want to play for a team who can go to the playoffs.
it's clear they made Dirk take a pay cut for nothing, should had just waited until the other players made up their minds and gave Dirk a huger bigger offer.
3 AnswersBasketball7 years agois the 2014 Texas Rangers team cursed.?
we suffer injury after injury, a trade that went bust due to an injury for the guy we got (Prince Fielder), and we seem to lose more games then we win.
what happened, did Nolan Ryan cursed the team on his way out of Management and is Ron Washington's days as Manager numbered.
it sure feels like Tom Hicks bought back the team in secret.
7 AnswersBaseball7 years agoare we never gonna see another Triple Crown winning horse.?
well, California Chrome failed to win the Triple Crown, are we gonna have to accept that we will never see another Triple crown winner in horse racing.
so many disappointment since 1978.
truth is, i think Horse Racing needs to change it up and do away with "Triple Crown" or retool it to where it's easier to win the triple crown.
4 AnswersHorse Racing7 years agoCan TNA Wrestling survive without a TV home.?
with the recent money issues which cause the big names like AJ Styles, Sting, Bad Influence, Hulk Hogan and several other well known talent to leave TNA and the threat of losing their US TV home Spike TV due to recent ratings decline and the money woes. i ask this, can TNA Wrestling survive without a TV home or are they pretty much a company on life support right now and about to have the plug pulled.
TNA started in the past has been airing Shows in the non-traditional way. TNA started out as a promotion that did their weekly shows on PPV for the first 2 years of the company's existence and then in 2005 after their one year deal with Fox Sport Net ended, TNA streamed their shows online until they made their deal with Spike TV later that year.
and now with TNA possibly losing their TV home. the bigger question first is, will another network want TNA knowing they are pretty much "Damage Good" or will TNA just give up with traditional TV and try airing it on the internet on sites like Youtube, Netflix, Hulu and or another streaming service that will air TV shows online.
can TNA survive having no TV home and air their shows online only like WWE does on some shows like WWE NXT, SuperStars, and Main Event on the WWE Network.
or is TNA done as a company.
8 AnswersWrestling7 years agowill the Texas Rangers experience a "Black Tuesday" tomorrow.?
The Rangers blew it yet again where it counts, this time, they are in the post season for the first time since 2009. last year, they were lucky enough to get a Wild Card spot.
so what happens next, is it "Black Tuesday" tomorrow, where we see someone get fired from the Rangers.
i see who ever is in charge in Pitching, Hitting and Ron Washington getting fired tomorrow afternoon.
it hurts that this team has turned into baseball version the Buffalo Bills of the early 1990s. good but never gonna be championship worthy.
so who get's fired, what next for the Rangers. are in store for another long period of nothing but losing and bad baseball proving that the metroplex is not baseball town.
Texas Rangers, letting us North Texas Baseball fans down since 2010.
6 AnswersBaseball8 years agodo you think WWE's gonna recreate this iconic WCW moment.?
at Night of Champions, Daniel Bryan won the WWE Championship under controversial circumstances when the Ref took a bump, was replace by another ref only to return and finish the match and declared Daniel Bryan the winner of the match and new WWE Champion.
the bigger question now is, is WWE gonna recreate the moment where JJ Dillion striped Sting of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship, Hollywood Hulk Hogan acts like he's gonna get the belt back only for JJ to announce the belt has been vacated due to the events that surround Sting winning the title in the first case.
to fill you in, here's the video of the match Sting won the World title at WCW Starrcade 1997:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhZbjpZQ4S8
and here's the announcement of the WCW title being vacated on WCW Thunder:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-wulDEzRSs
anyone else think WWE's gonna recreated that promo segment where JJ Dillion striped Sting of the World Title and refuses to put the belt on the rightful champion and vacated the title because of the finish of the title match in question.
i hope they do, with Brad Maddox, HHH, Stephanie or Vince McMahon in JJ Dillon's role, Daniel Bryan in Sting's role and Randy Orton in Hulk Hogan's role. and ether Josh Mathews, Michael Cole or Rene Young in the role of the interviewer of the segment aka the Mike Tenay of this segment recreation.
3 AnswersWrestling8 years agolooks like we got ourselves "chasegate"?
two days after the scandal involving MWR comes a new scandal that Joey Logano got into the chase thanks to a Penske bribe to Front Row Motorsports, where the #38 of David Gilliland was instructed by his spotter to lef Logano pass him by and he too slowed down to help impact the points.
here's the story from Jayski.com:
Penske deal with Front Row at Richmond to help Logano? UPDATE: Penske Racing may have cut a deal with Front Row Motorsports in the closing laps at Richmond for track position to help get #22-Joey Logano in the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. In radio communications reviewed Wednesday by The Associated Press for Front Row driver #38-David Gilliland, his spotter informs the team of a request to let Logano pass him in the final laps of Saturday night's race. Logano was trying to claim a spot in the 12-driver Chase field. Both Penske and Front Row are Ford teams and thus considered partners. A voice on the radio, believed to be crew chief Frank Kerr, asks who the request is coming from. The spotter replies: "We've got the big dog and all his cronies." Kerr then says: "Travis knows what I've been asking for," an apparent reference to Penske Racing competition director Travis Geisler. Logano passed Gilliland on a restart and finished 22nd, one spot ahead of Gilliland and good enough for a berth in the Chase field. "Good job, good job, man," the spotter says after the race. "Hopefully we'll get something out of that." Statistics analyzed by AP also show Gilliland's lap times dropped off by almost 1 second from the times he was running prior to the radio communication.(Associated Press)(9-11-2013)
UPDATE: "NASCAR is aware of reports about the #22 and #38 radio communications at Richmond International Raceway and is looking into it, but has yet to see anything in full context that requires any action."(NASCAR)(9-11-2013)
so, do you think NASCAR should drop the hammer, take Logano out of the Chase and put the other man screwed by "Chasegate" Jeff Gordon in the chase. people weren't happy with the MWR part of this scandal, now i hope, NASCAR does the right thing and what's best for the Chase.
5 AnswersNASCAR8 years agois it time for Jeff Gordon to retire from NASCAR or does he still have it.?
he hasn't won a lot in the last 5 seasons he won 2 in 2009 then he went winless in 2010, won 3 in 2011, 2 races last season and so far, he's has zero wins this year and almost made the chase only to blow it on the last restart of tonight's race to end his chances of winning a championship this year. sure he's had good races and bad races in the past couple of seasons.
big question is, does Jeff Gordon still have it or is it time for him to start looking at life after NASCAR.
i worried for Jeff as he's still can get top 5s and top 10s but has yet to break through and win one this season and he's been in 2 straight up and down seasons. he's the reason why i became a NASCAR fan and i now root for not just him but all of the Hendrick Motorsports stable of drivers. with Jimmie Johnson my favorite now.
do you think Jeff Gordon still has it or is it time for him to retire from NASCAR.
5 AnswersNASCAR8 years agowould you want an night race at Talladega.?
i asking you true NASCAR fans this question, would you want to see an night race at Talladega. i know right now Dega has not lights, but if they were to ever install lights for night racing, would you fans love to see Dega racing at night.
i bet it would be fun. hell night racing is always more fun as you can see the car make sparks and the flames from the pipes popping out at night.

3 AnswersBaseball9 years agoshould WWE make AJ Lee have an split personality crazy gimmick.?
since April, AJ Lee has been playing an mentally unstable crazy chick gimmick in which in the storyline during that time she had the first mental breakdown and attack Natalya, she's put the Champion CM Punk and his challenger who is also her ex boyfriend Daniel Bryan though a table, Slapped her friend Kaitlyn as Kaitlyn was trying to help her get over Daniel Bryan, Kissed Kane and make him feel weird to the point to where he tried to tell her to leave him alone, got into a catfight with Vickie Guerrero, walked out of a wedding where she was the bride making Daniel Bryan go mad with hate and anger as she became Raw GM. and during her tenure as GM of Raw, she's put JTG, Alberto Del Rio, and David Otunga in matches as punishment for saying the word Crazy, put Daniel Bryan in Anger Management as well as Kane. and in the last two weeks, Vickie Guerrero has open "Pandora's Box" and provoked AJ by calling her out as a bad GM, on which AJ attacked Vickie the first week, and then last week, Vickie had to finish what CM Punk and Jack Swagger started, and that cause AJ to have a nervous breakdown in the ring causing her to throw an temper tantrum after slapping her twice after she apologized for the previous week's attack on Vickie
now because of that breakdown, would WWE ever do a split personality angle for AJ Lee where AJ acts like a completely different person where she's AJ Lee for one moment and the next, she an alter ego that's violent, dangerous and would wear a wig of a different hair color to fully establish that she's not AJ Lee but she's the alter ego where she thinks she's not AJ, i can see that moment where on Raw this past week where she blanked on Matt Striker's name would be the moment where her Alter Ego tried to come out. the breakdown after the two slaps to the face from Vickie would be the best way to reveal the start of the alter ego finally coming out. i would call this alter ego ether Miss April (her old indy stage name) or just April which is what the A stands for in AJ.
would a split personality angle work for AJ Lee, as in if she stays as Raw GM, the Alter Ego could let her fight Vickie and it would be a great way to write her out of the Raw GM role.
and would you enjoy this gimmick if WWE decided to put the trigger and let AJ have a alter ego gimmick similar of "The three faces of Foley" gimmick that Mick Foley was famous for.
3 AnswersWrestling9 years agowhat happens next with the Raw GM issue?
on this week's Raw, WWE Raw GM AJ Lee lost control of the show and her sanity when CM Punk decided to take a off day, Jack Swagger just decided that he needed to take a break from the WWE after losing to Sheamus, Ricardo Rodriguez got Brogue Kicked which gave him a concussion by Sheamus after he and Alberto Del Rio (who were both at ringside) decided to jump Sheamus after his match against Swagger. and not to mentioned Vickie Guerrero had the WWE Board Of Directors punish her by making her apologize to Vickie for attacking her last week and put a rule where if she attacks someone else, she will be fired. after she apologized to Vickie, Vickie slapped not once but twice, and taunting her by pointing out she can't fight back. which cause AJ to have another violent anger nervous breakdown outbrust where slammed the mic on the mat, she pounded the ring like it was Vickie with the chair, then threw said chair out of the ring on the ramp, pounded the ring and screamed and cried.
did AJ Lee just proved she's too unfit to run Raw and may have caused herself the job. or will she punish Vickie once she calmed down.
note, my question is in full Kayfabe.
so what happens to AJ next, i say she's ether gets fired or decides its best to resign as GM of Raw and go back to being a female wrestler and kick Vickie's @ss.
plus who do you think will be the next Raw GM if AJ is ether fired or resigned from it, i say it's gonna be Nature Boy Ric Flair, Paul Heyman or Teddy Long or Stephanie McMahon.
2 AnswersWrestling9 years agohow will WWE write off AW on-screen after his off-screen firing?
on Friday, AW, the manager of the Prime Time Players was fired from the WWE in real life for making some offensive behavior on screen with his Kobe Bryan rape case reference, the whole racist comments at Epico, Primo and Rosa Mendes and other offensive stuff and politically incorrect behavior.
on-screen his last TV appearance was on SmackDown where he was managing PTP in a #1 contenders match for the Tag Team Championship, as they were watching the match at ring side to see who they will defend their titles against, R-Truth and Kofi Kingston watched until AW threw a drink at their faces making them interfere and cost Primo and Epico to get DQed.
so how do you write off AW off WWE TV.
my way would be, during a segment with Raw GM AJ Lee and PTP on Raw on Monday, AJ explain that AW had some choice words with AJ backstage at SmackDown on Friday (as AJ Lee was there as SmackDown GM Booker T's guest. ) as she confronts him for his interference in which would happened "off screen". in which he said the worst things to say to a female boss, which would lead to her saying "You're Fired" to AW.
to sum it short, my way would be AJ confronted AW about his interference in the Tag Match on SmackDown (as Kofi and R-RTruth are Raw talent and it affects her show) and he badmouth her so bad, she fires him.
how would you write AW off of WWE TV due to his legit firing.
3 AnswersWrestling9 years agoanyone expecting a Judgment Day 1998 WWE Championship match ending rehashing at MITB this Sunday.?
This Sunday at Money In The Bank, the WWE Championship will be on the line as WWE Champion CM Punk defends his title agains Daniel Bryan, with AJ Lee being special guest referee, after what happened with Punk, AJ and Daniel Bryan the last two weeks, the question is, will we see a rehashing of the finish of the WWE Championship match at WWE Judgment Day 1998 where The Undertaker took on Kane for the WWE Championship with Stone Cold Steve Austin as Special Guest Referee.
In that match, at the end, Paul Bearer (who came to the ring and brought the chair into play) hit Kane in the back with the chair, then Undertaker used that same chair to whack Kane in the head, as Undertaker went for the pin fall, Stone Cold stuns Undertaker and then hit him in the head with the chair, and counts 1-2-3 while both men were down but they didn't pin each other. It sets up Austin's kayfabe firing by Mr. McMahon
And here's the video of the finish, via YouTube:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detail...
This Sunday, i see Bryan or Punk bring a steel chair into the match at the ending and then as Bryan hits Punk, after that, AJ attacks her ex boyfriend turning on him getting her revenge on him for him wishing she was never born, and then counts 1-2-3 with both men out cold not pinning each other, and this won't lead to AJ getting fired, it will lead to the winner of the WWE Championship Money In The Bank ladder match cash in his briefcase and winning the WWE Championship and AJ's love.
And i pick John Cena to be the one to win the MITB ladder match if not Kane. And in the end, AJ finally turns heel, and we get the long awaited John Cena heel turn, boom you kill two birds with one stone.
So do you think there will be a rehashing of that finish at Money In The Bank this Sunday.

3 AnswersYouTube9 years agowill the 2012 tornado season be just as bad as this past year's tornado season?
with 2011 coming to a close and people remembering the year that it was. it reminded me, this year was a crazy year for natural disasters, with a 9.0 earthquake in Japan that caused a Tsunami and nuclear plant meltdown, freak heat in parts of the country, especially in my home area of North Texas, not to mention the extremely colder then normal temps in Feb, also in my area during Super Bowl Week where the Ice Storm and temps in an area between 5 to 20 degrees for a low temp try to ruin the fun of a big week for sports and business in the DFW area. Plus hurricanes and tropical storms that hit the US (Irene and that storm named Don that died out trying to enter Texas thanks to the 100 degree heat at the time of it's landfall) and last and not least tornadoes all over the US, especially the late April super-outbreak in the south and the Joplin, MO Tornado.
after the wild and crazy year, will 2012 be a repeat of 2011 or will it be less active, or worse, more active then this past year.
i hope for the sake of life and safety that it's less active, but at the same time i hope it's more active or just that active if i was a storm chaser, which I'm not.
i want everyone in the Weather sections thoughts on what the new year will have in store for us, and please no "2012 is the year the world ends" talk, i don't want it to be about something that might or might not happen, which in my opinion will not happen.
