Larry Brooks would be writing a column about how shitty that was.

Hypocrisy at its finest.

The old adage the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

I think for all the hate Reed gets for his supposed crying/whining Brooks has done his fair share, and Reed really hasn't made excuses this series. He did say he was sick, but that wasn't an excuse, it was more an answer to a question.

Team tactics or not, it's hard to argue that the 2nd to last race of a very tightly contested series some weird stuff went on, and the benefactor was team L+M.

I hate to see a title decided this way, but it's racing and things happen.

That assumes Reed would have had a shot at winning if KC hadn't done what he did. Big assumption, Reed's been trying to do that for a long time and hasn't done it yet.

That's my whole point Chuck but it's more of the fans than than the team that should get a clue.

I really don't think it was team tactics.

Who cares if he would? It's his opinion and he's allowed to voice it however he see's fit. Just like you and I can.

And for the record, I know some Jackass will accuse me of being a crazy Stewart fan. I like both Reed and James the same, and I don't give a shit who wins the title. All I care about is some good racing.

I haven't seen the move Kyle pulled, so I'm not going to comment on anything until I see it myself.

If the tables were turned Stewart would have made up the second he lost and we wouldn't be having this discussion.

At least when Langston took out Alessi it was in the final turn and it was for the win....

If James would have block passed Chad the way that Chad passed James the meltdown and whining would be legendary.

I love the fact that these two guys can't stand each other. It's nice to see some aggression on the track. There hasn't been much since the early 90's.

good racing is bred by animosity

Why did Larry brooks only do his columns when James won? Does anyone ever hear an explanation for that?

Does anyone think Reed might know how Brooks operates, since he rode for the team last year?

SX was so exciting watching it live, but I can't wait for the real racing to start, and not an entertainment event which has turned into a show.

May the best racer win, and all racers remain safe.

Tom.

That is where you are wrong. Both sides only see things one way, and that's what ever way that betters their rider.

Both sides need to open their eyes.
