You know what? All my trash talking yesterday about Jeff was just making fun of all the trash talk that was (and still is) going around about Todd. In my opinion, Jeff did nothing wrong.......nor did Jr........nor did anyone else who might or might not have been near or involved in a spin! My point was, if Todd got probabtion because of bone headed moves, then Jeff should too......he (Jeff) did pull some stupid stuff yesterday. I like Jeff.......sort of a fan of his. And I don't have much in the way of feelings for Todd.....definitely not a fan of his. But everyone seemed to enjoy that Todd got "his well deserved due"......but not many said anything about Jeff. I'm one of the fans who love the aggressive drivers.......pass em clean if you can, but if they won't let you pass em clean, then take the gloves off and knock them out of the way......guess that comes from being a 20 yr Dale Earnhardt (Sr) fan!!
As for Jr "spinning" Jeremy.........I didn't see it. Had I seen it, I would have jumped on that too!! I was trying to make a point.....so I guess I fueled the fire a little. Most people here know I would never jumped too hard on Jr.......or Jeffie for that matter.
Originally posted by gordon24fan I said the same thing in the Gordon thread, That's Racin', but if they do it week in and week out then there should be consequences.
Week in and week out is somewhat of an exaggeration. He's been involved in more than his fair share of incidents this season. But so has Ward Burton.........easy to defend Ward because he's such a likable man. Bodines have bad reputations reaching back to the early 90's and Geoff. Good ole Geoff was not someone anybody wanted to admitt they liked......myself encluded. Todd has many of the same qualities as Geoff.....and it shows in reactions to his driving. I have yet to see an incident where Todd "took" someone out......I've seen him race aggressively and make mistakes. And most of those mistakes resulted in wrecks....he was wrecked right along with the ones, who people, claim he wrecked. I think you and many other people are just picking up on the popular thought that Todd is dangerous. I'm sure a couple drivers said something......Jeff Green and Ward Burton. But, to be fair both those drivers have had a lot of wrecks themselves this year......can they be completely blameless? Yeah it's reported that other drivers and teams have complained too.........but who are they? Is it credible to just have that vague "other drivers and teams" indictment without being specific?
Just try to be a little objective before you jump on a popular bandwagon.
