After using heroin, rookie driver Aaron Fike finished a career-best fifth place at Memphis Motorsports Park during the O'Reilly 200. A week later, he was arrested with more than 100 syringes and also black-tar heroin.
The biggest wreck in this weekend's NASCAR race didn't occur until after the race, when Tony Stewart drove Goodyear's reputation into the wall at about 200 mph. Apparently Stewart thinks Goodyear's tires suck.
16-foot python swallows family dog while two kids watch. The 110-pound snake stalked the dog for days before making its move. The mom tried to stop the python by throwing chairs at it. Plastic chairs.
"Pythons squeeze their prey to death before swallowing it whole. The 5-year-old dog would have been suffocated within minutes."
This three-minute video tells you all you need to know about the 50th running of the NASCAR's most prestigious race, the Daytona 500.
The "Car of Tomorrow" is now the car of today, and drivers are changing race strategies. Dale Earnhardt Jr. teams up with Hendrick Motorsports and Jimmie Johnson. Toyota emerges as a NASCAR powerhouse. Tire wear and blowouts are a major concern at the track. And of course the video also includes a race prediction... Dale Junior.
Charlie Murphy said it best in the Rick James episode of Chappelle's Show: "You don't slap a man, OK?" Stewart and Busch, who have a history, got into a tussle over the weekend, and Stewart reportedly either punched or slapped Busch. The drivers were subsequently disciplined by NASCAR, which has been quiet on exactly what was doled out. Check out the video, which includes some good road-rage footage.
"British Olympic chiefs are to force athletes to sign a contract promising not to speak out about China's appalling human rights record – or face being banned from travelling to Beijing. The move – which raises the spectre of the order given to the England football team to give a Nazi salute in Berlin in 1938 – immediately provoked a storm of protest."
It's disgusting that China is even allowed to host the Olympics. I realize that no country is perfect, but China's track record of oppression and atrocities is particularly disturbing. The Olympics should be about unity and peace, not about sweeping dirt under the rug.
What do you think Yardbarkers? Were these SalesGenie.com Super Bowl commercials racist?
"The worst offense Sales Genie committed is having full knowledge that this content is racist, stereotypical, and offensive, and airing the commercials anyway. It's one thing when someone says something offensive in mere jest (in other words, with no ill intent), but it's another matter when people deliberately seek to harm and offend in order to earn a profit."
Here is one of 11 definitions from the Bachelor Guy for your girl...
"Pass Interference: It's just like at the shoe store. If you see a pair of Jimmy Choo's first, and are about to pick them up, another woman isn't allowed to push you out of the way and grab them."
The NFL is cracking down on churches publicly displaying the Super Bowl. The telecast is reserved under NFL copyright, but it's cold-blooded to deny the House of God. Honestly, though, who goes to church to watch the Super Bowl? They don't even serve wings.
Wake Forest's backup RB posted threats on Facebook about blowing up the campus and having an Uzi "locked and loaded in his bag." The school promptly kicked his ass to the curb after the comments were brought to the attention of police.
Nineteen-year-old Luke Caparelli may also face charges. In the meantime, you've got to wonder what drives a kid to do something like this? Usually it's attention. But even a backup football player at Wake Forest should be getting plenty of attention from the ladies. Why resort to empty and ignorant threats?
