Is Steve Kerr running the Mercury?

Probably doesn't have the same effect or popularity, but a sport none the less.

The only thing I don't understand is what's the big deal with NASCAR. It's a bunch of cars driving around an oval circuit for 100 laps. Not a big fan of F1 or motrosports in general (Rally is OK though) but I find NASCAR unbearable and totally pointless.

I was sucked into watching a race on TV once (basically lasted all day long) with some of my redneck friends and I can tell you it is all about the beer. I've never seen so many beers drunk so quickly, in fact a couple of the guys were out cold before the end of the race. The crashes are about the only thing anyone notices. Quite a "sport"...

so anyone on here even following the women NCAA tournament?

That Xavier chick has to be kicking herself today. Missing two layups at point blank range in the last 15 seconds of the game, then give up a drive down the court in 4 seconds lol. I don't know how I'd live with myself if that happened to me.

To be fair, the Suns have driven me to drink many, many times.

Redneck indeed.

Found a really good explanation here: http://www.swishappeal.com/2010/3/31/1397953/while-new-york-nets-a-star-chicago

Apparently, this actually could have been much, much worse.
