There's a positive to it. Held 'em to 31 points. Denver couldn't do that.

Texas Lawdog · October 14, 2013, 04:53:54 PM

It looks like Ware will be out for a month and Murray won't play against Philly this weekend. Philly should win this one.

I just read where MWR is cutting back to two teams in 2014, Truex May be the odd man out. Vickers is out with medical problems for the rest of the season, no replacement named as yet.

Texas Lawdog · October 15, 2013, 08:42:43 AM

Vickers is having the same blood clot problem as before.

Arcey · October 15, 2013, 09:32:17 AM

Redskins lost two for the year.

Lookin' like Kauffman's shut Waltrip up durin' this restructurin'. Probably not a bad thing. With Vickers in limbo 'n the Truex /Denver rumors, things er kinda shaky in Cornelius. The 15 is set for '14 'n that's it.

It's like MWR can't stand prosperity, they keep shooting themselves in the foot.

"Our goal was to hand the car off to the teams better than the one that they ended the 2012 season with. We feel like we achieved that goal; we feel like the cars performed well, the drivers like the way the car drives. From that standpoint, it was a successful year. & We will always continue to evaluate our competition and this is one of those programs that's coming together." said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR vice president of competition.

How do we know, Pemberton? Early on the drivers made comments NASCAR didn't like. Such as:

"I don't want to be the pessimist, but it did not race as good as our Generation 5 cars [a.k.a. "Car of Tomorrow"].This is more like what the Generation 5 was at the beginning. The teams hadn't figured out how to get the aero balance right. Right now, you just run single-file and you cannot get around the guy in front of you. You would have placed me in 20th-place with 30 (laps) to go, I would have stayed there — I wouldn't have moved up. It's just one of those things where track position is everything." – Denny Hamlin. Fined $25,000.00.

The same message in softer words has been heard from many others all season in pre and post race interviews. Nothing has changed.

NASCAR wouldn't lie though. Each debris caution is legit, right? But what would one expect from an organization accepting thirteen year olds for their "fan council."

As bad as I hate to, I will be cheering for Dallas this weekend, only because they are playing Philly.

NASCAR..had no such rules ..such as Team Orders ...

They threw the MWR Foul flag after the fact... Sure MWR played the system and they maneuvered Truex into the chase.
All the teams are players and have done the very same....
Drivers have chucked something out window to get a debris caution in the past....

NASCAR used the media notoriety , to manipulate their favorite poster child into the chase ( Namely Gordon )
so Hendricks could have all his car in ...

Gordon certainly did not race his way in.... NASCAR changed the rules and allowed 13 in the chase.....
Even tried to discredit FRow & Penski .... and bump Kurt Busch

I'll hang my future interest on ...if Kenseth or another non Hendricks driver wins the Cup.... otherwise I'll have little interest in
The fab 4 future manipulated championships.

Texas Lawdog · October 16, 2013, 11:23:57 AM

Well said, Major 2!

Arcey · October 20, 2013, 04:38:27 PM

Reckon I wanna keep the Ballistol away from that squeak the 'Skins got by on. Sure is hell gonna need it again.

Then again, Denver in Denver next week. Squeaks don't werk miracles. Geezzzzzzzz.........

Wanna 'nother NFC North team. 2-1 agin them.......

Texas Lawdog · October 20, 2013, 05:09:04 PM

Congrats to the Skins on their win today against the Bears. I am glad the Eagles lost. Congrats to the Bengals and Jets on their wins as well.

Four-Eyed Buck · October 21, 2013, 10:35:20 AM

Brownies did their usual at GB, lose. Believe Weeden's digging himself a big hole, think those no.1 draft choices are going towards a QB again. Might see Campbell this week after coaches get some looks at tape

$:-\$

Texas Lawdog · October 21, 2013, 07:37:12 PM

Tonight's game on the TV is a toss up. We are having the Beef Stew again tonight.

Texas Lawdog · October 22, 2013, 05:27:27 AM

Well, the Giants finally won a game last night, I feel sorry for the Vikings. They were in the playoffs as a Wild Card team and beat the Packers.

Arcey · October 22, 2013, 07:45:47 AM

'N ruined a perfect season............................

Looked like the Vikings were catchin' the flu er somethin'.

Texas Lawdog · October 22, 2013, 09:14:23 AM

The new quarterback was not impressive in his first outing as a Viking.

Arcey · October 25, 2013, 01:16:32 PM

News of the 91 zip high school football game in Texas made it o'er this way. Meddlin' parent wantin' personnel popped for bein' bullies. That's absurd.

Other folks are whinin' for 'mercy' rules. Used ta be they were called 'skunk' rules. Was sumthin' keepin' the losin' coach from pullin' his team off the field 'n forfeitin' the game?

Texas Lawdog · October 25, 2013, 05:24:14 PM

ARCEY, The team on the losing end of that game was from Fort Worth. It made all the local TV stations around here.

Major 2 · October 29, 2013, 05:23:17 AM

Officially lost interest....

Does anyone beside me, think NASCAR's is manipulating it's version of the Jeff Gordon Farewell Tour
They gifted him the 13th. chase spot in 12 position Championship... revise rules they did not even have in place.

Gordon will likely win the the Cup, Jimmy second and will be fine with that, as he believe Jeff will hang up his helmet .
... Kenseth is only there to ad spice and distraction from the obvious Hendricks nod.
