Around SBN: Baylor Out, Dunleavy In as Clippers GM Bar-right-arrows



Tuesday Afternoon, NASCAR Style

Sing along everyone:
I'm just beginning to see
Now I'm on my way

Tony Eury Jr. and Dale Earnhardt Jr. after testing a Hendrick COT at Atlanta this week -- "so that's what a real race car is like!  And we're gettin' us some of these?  WOO-HOO!"

It doesn't matter to me
Chasing the clouds away

NASCAR may not have a clue as to how water got into the fuel of several cars at Atlanta, but 4ever3 uses applied knowledge to bring some light to the situation.

Something
Calls to me

Apparently not the racing... television ratings for the Atlanta race were in the dumpster (down 16.7% from last year).  I never knew so many people missed Bill Weber...

The trees are drawing me near
I've got to find out why
If Carl Edwards speaks in the woods and there is no one to hear him, will all the other drivers still dislike him?
Those gentle voices I hear
Explain it all with a sigh
A sound often heard at ABC these days as assorted execs contemplate how a Gordon-Johnson duel for the championship has approximately the same interest level for most fans as a Red Sox-Yankees playoff matchup holds for everyone outside of New York and New England (that would be none at all no matter how much ESPN shoves both teams down our throats 24/7).
I'm looking at myself
Reflections of my mind
Speaking of Bill Weber...
It's just the kind of day
To leave myself behind
Which pretty much sums up the day at Atlanta for everyone who's in the Chase.  Except Johnson and to a lesser degree Gordon.
So gently swaying
Through the fairyland of love
Not.  Gonna.  Go.  There.
If you'll just come with me
To see the beauty of
Tuesday afternoon
Tuesday afternoon
Here's a beautiful sight for Dale Jr. fans on a Tuesday afternoon, as he says thank you to Rick Hendrick by having his first ride for him painted to match the first car entered by Hendrick in a Cup race:
