Best ever!!!!!

I can't understand anyone being upset with all of this. Some clown on TV said it set NASCAR back more than the whole Hollywood/athlete thing. I don't see either as particularly important to the sport.

Never stops does it, kind of odd that a preacher would say on national tv that he thinks his wife is hot. I couldn't care less what he thinks about his wife that is personal, it doesn't IMO belong in an invocation.

Wait a minute Mo, aren't you an atheist or at least an agnostic? You shouldn't care what is said at a prayer. My thinking is that probably don't think that there should be a prayer at a sporting event, let alone being aired live on TV. BTW, I wonder if they have an invocation at your local track? We do at our track and everyone stands and bows their head...but we are in the Bible belt.

I couldn't care less about the prayer thing , yes I am an atheist, but when you are a preacher and you mention that about your wife in a professional environemnt I think it mocking what you are doing. Yep they do and I bow with my hat over my heart when they do it our tracks, usually it is only for the big races.
 
Ok...about the whole "smokin' hot wife" thing...did no one get that it is actually a quote from Talladega Nights?!? I mean he even called his kids by nick names the way Ricky Bobby did, but you couldn't hear them from the laughter of the crowd.....
 
Personally, I was a bit afraid of the direction this thread could go. I certainly didn't want it to get into a war of words over religion/personal beliefs.

Every person has their own set of beliefs/opinions. The minister let his show in a very public place. Maybe that wasn't the wisest course, but then he made the choice.

Some may cheer his public display, some may decry it.

Next to politics, religion/beliefs/non-beliefs are the touchiest subjects I know.

As I said earlier, ony the minister's congregation can deem him a good/bad minister. All the rest of us are just spectators. We may not like him, we may like him --- to each his own.
 
I laughed out loud when I heard the invocation live.

After listening to it again, I have to agree with Mo.

That dang preacher used that invocation to profess his loyalty to Ford.

:D

I never realized this many people listened to the pre-race prayer. As far as it hurting the sport, it sure got the Nationwide series some publicity! Maybe more people will tune in to watch....at least for the invocation anway.

I think that is only true if they stick to pastor's that do the invocation exclusively in the Nationwide Series. The problem is when they allow a pastor to drop down from the Cup Series to do the invocation. :rolleyes:

lol That's funny. In those situations, NASCAR should withhold all donations earned at the track and give them to Brian.

Speaking of Brian, how fun would it be to let him write and deliver the invocation? Listening to Brian France speak makes me miss ole George Bush. It's like he speaks pig Latin.
 
I'm upset because it was the Nationwide series and he only gave thanks for the top cup teams. Gonna have to have a talk with that Bro. lol
 
What riled me about this was the number of people who chided his wife, saying she is fat and ugly. Sometimes I wonder what those who criticize what partners in a marriage or union look like in a bad way. Beauty is really in the eyes of the beholder. I mean hey, Spike doesn't think that Danica is attractive and I'm one that doesn't think Julia Roberts is a knockout. Some men like their women skinny and some like them rubenesque. and everything in between. Some men go gaga over blonde hair while other favor brunett or black hair. Then there are those firey redheads that many go for.

Slamming the padre by saying his wife is fat or ugly is crass. How many of you would, if given the change, walk up to him and tell him he is married to a big fat ugly woman?

He was too busy racing in Oxford on a budget that is greater than everyone else in the field combined. Dude refuses to show up in Virginia, because he knows he can't outspend the teams down here and get an easy win.

Yep.
 
It really is amazing what press that this is getting. I think I've seen it on just about every blog to do with cars, all the entertainment shows, just amazing. This guy will do more for Nationwide racing rating than anything NASCAR could have done. Plus, he made church people look not so stuffy, too. He also made every smokin hot wife feel that much better about themselves. Three wins in one invocation as far as I'm concerned.

No need to, I'm sure he's well aware of it and I'd hate to rub it in, that's just mean. And is "rubenesque" really a real word? I don't think so if spell check doesn't recognize it, it's something fat people came up with because "lard ass" is more of an insult than a real description. Anyway, she's fat and I bet he hates his life, that's why he has a good sense of humor.
 
I have no problem with the man's enthusiasm during the prayer. All the thanks for Ford, Toyota, R07 engine, etc. is nothing wrong. But it certainly takes away what a prayer is for and that is thanking God, asking for his blessings, and praying for the non-believers. Since everybody is talking about who he thanked and his smoking hot wife, it has definitely taken away what a prayer is for.

Yes, "rubenesque" is really a word. It comes from the Renaissance painter Rubens who painted voluptuous women.

I know it's a real word and everyone knows that Peter Paul Rubens was a chubby chaser and liked to paint fatties, I just thought it was funny when my spell check didn't recognize it.

I don't get the joke. Are you trying to crack on me because I questioned "rubenesque" as being a real word, even though it's been around since the early 1900's, most spell checks don't recognize it? Pretty lame Gomer.

Totally rude and uncalled for, chromehorn. I knew Fender Bumper was yanking my chain.

Well now my post doesn't make any sense after you yanked half of it, there wasn't any foul language in it. It must have been too close to home for him if it was considered rude.

Chrome, I wasn't busting on you at all. I was just having a little fun with TRL.

Hmmm, wish I had seen the other half, because what's left is pretty rude reaction for your own confusion. I guess these things happen when you substitute software for intelligence. :bazooka:

No, it was really over the top since you weren't calling me out. TRL actually saved me from looking like more of an ass than I already do.
