SHOCKING NEWS: Story About Notre Dame Football Embellished

Sit down, everybody.  This is kind of a bombshell.

It turns out that Rudy, everbody's* favorite underdog, was a bit of an exaggeration. I know, I was shocked, too. What is there to believe in anymore?

Joe Montana went on the Dan Patrick Show yesterday and, in between sounding like he was completely baked, Joe sighed through a grudging explanation that, yes, he was there when Rudy was there and yes, Rudy got to play in their last game... but no, nobody turned in their jerseys and threatened to quit and no, they were not playing anything but a cupcake and no, despite having carried him off the field, it wasn't done seriously. It was done as kind of a joke. You know, the kind of dick thing they do at Notre Dame that makes opponents and fans hate them.

Can you believe it? I know I can't.

To think.... a story involving Notre Dame football three-plus decades ago has been stretched and distorted beyond reality. I mean, what's next? IU basketball fans wanting to have Bobby Knight back for a night to honor him?

Oh.


*Everybody is defined as really sad, clueless people who think movies like Rudy and The Blind Side are actually true-to-life.

Vroom!

Who's ready for some open-wheel racing?



"It makes it difficult on the drivers behind"? (End of clip.) Hey-yo!

I like to call the following clip "WHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"



Here's one where your butt must just pucker up the second you feel the air get under your ride:



And, of course, an IndyCar post isn't complete without a clip of the most successful a driver on the circuit.



Play ball!

Maybe Indy Car Racing Isn't So Bad

Boilerdowd and I have been having a long, back-and-forth debate/discussion/immature display of stupidity recently, and it's centered around his wish to make sweet love to the sport of auto racing. Specifically, open-wheel racing.

And so I decided to give it a look. I may even watch part of the race in Texas this weekend from the comfort of my palatial estate. But as part of my research on the sport, I thought I'd get to know some of the drivers and I did some photo work to make sure I could recognize them. I've decided to start with this "Dan Patrick," or whatever her name is.

Great googly moogly.

The legs are more astounding than I expected....

Sweet mercy. Do they all look like this? I guess I understand why it's a great sport. Now if only we could get her to make out with Ashley Force, we'd be in business.

We'd be in business as a completely different kind of Web site if that happened, but we'd be in business nonetheless.
