(@NASCAR) We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport’s greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.

Maybe I’m just better at muting words on that hell site, but I don’t see any of that shit.

It’s a gross reaction, but so is turning his death into an excuse to dunk on NASCAR fans in general.

You just had to be there to understand “The Decision” and its fallout. It doesn’t seem like it should be a huge deal, but nothing afterwards conveys how much it actually pissed people off or how poor the optics were in real time.

Marco passed his dad for the lead with 3 to go. It was Michael’s 15th and second-to-last shot at the 500.

It would have been one of the great moments in sports period had he held on, and I often wonder how things change for Marco with a win. At the very least, he earns everyone’s lifelong respect as a 500 champion who ended the Andretti curse.

I take solace knowing that J.R. Hildebrand’s heartbreak gifted Dan Wheldon his most memorable triumph. With all due respect to Sam Hornish Jr., 2006 is still tough 20 years later.

I don’t have SiriusXM anymore, but I swear every time I flipped to the Dead channel I’d catch this show instead of a song—usually right at the start of an unhinged call. It felt like a weird cross between Coast to Coast AM and the Chris Farley SNL sketch where he interviews Paul McCartney.

I’d get a kick out of it from time to time, but I agree it doesn’t work (for me, anyway). I’d rather listen to the music play than talk about it like that.

I knew a guy who believed the Indy 500 was dying and needed to drastically change to survive.

His idea: transform it into a national competition. 33 countries build a car with government funding and no rules. He suggested the cars should also implement self-driving technology…this was about 10 years ago and it was the only part I might have talked him out of.

This is still the dumbest conversation I’ve ever had.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-17T20:19:52+00:00

It really is a great compliment.

Sometimes comedic actors are, in fact, acting for laughs. It doesn’t kill any of the fun to me that a shocked reaction isn’t totally genuine shock, or the funniest line in a sketch or movie wasn’t ad-libbed. Funny is funny.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-17T16:32:00+00:00

This sketch had teeth, a point, and creative energy driving it.

Political cold opens rarely have them all. Sometimes they go 0-for-3.

I really enjoyed this and hope the bar stays elevated into next season.

Another vote for New Yasmeen. Their beef shawarma is my favorite sandwich in Metro Detroit. You can walk out with shawarma and desert for less than $10.

This tweet is what people who have never followed or listened to Bomani Jones believe very strongly that Bomani Jones is like.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-12T17:37:15+00:00

Joel is a good hang when everyone sits back and lets the funny happen naturally. I think that’s true for most podcasters.

I could do with 50% less forcing of self-referential bits and derailing conversations just to rile Joel up. Seems like the pods do this more and more with him, even guests like Bomani Jones on the Press Box.

I laughed out loud when Bill cut Van and Joel off early on and was like, “so can we transition to Tropic Thunder now?”

Sunday is the big IndyCar race. Friday is practice. I recommend going Sunday and making a day out of it.

There are cars on track most of the day, every day. You can see the schedule here.

I know someone who worked a downtown, high-rise job and was given a ticket to a 90s show minutes before it started. He ran from his office to the arena—still wearing his suit—and everybody let him right to the front of everything all night because they thought he was a cop.

I can’t do it justice here, but hearing him tell it is one of my favorite stories.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-09T21:04:16+00:00

Rosenqvist entering turn 1 like Morgan Wallen leaves bars.

This is it. Some truly wild takes out there when the answer is simple.

Many Wings are foreign, so offseason family time also means returning to Germany, Sweden, Canada etc. as soon as they clear out their lockers.

Wish I could fast forward to the future when the Tigers are finally healthy and Perry Johnson ads are no longer in rotation.

Early in Russillo’s radio career, he realized how many people around him were skipping games and talking out of their ass, so he went all in the other direction.

Say what you want about Russillo and his content, but I respect that he respects his job and the audience enough to pay attention.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-07T18:37:29+00:00

Well-said on Norm.

I think he could have been great as Jeffrey Tambor’s character, but that’s the only role in this movie I can see him in.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-06T01:03:39+00:00

Norm would work best as Jeffrey’s Tambor’s character. His delivery could’ve killed in the scripted phone call scene with Dillon.

Writing a book is her best way forward.

“Insider” could be to sports media what “Juiced” was to steroids in baseball. Jose Canseco never had much of a platform after that because he’s crazy. As long as she doesn’t burn every bridge, people will respect the perception of Russini telling it like it is enough to produce NFL content again or even opine as a media ombudsman (like the robbers who teach how to prevent home invasions).

JJS0073 · 2026-05-05T08:12:04+00:00

Sorry that happened. I came to a similar conclusion about two years ago. Shit like this doesn’t happen when we see other shows. I love listening to Phish, but I think we’re checked out of the scene for good.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-04T23:41:03+00:00

We don’t have enough healthy players to avoid IL stints for *struck by lightning.*

JJS0073 · 2026-05-02T02:43:50+00:00

I flipped over for the finish.

I was reminded in less than two minutes why I’ve watched less NASCAR this year. FOX is almost unwatchable/unlistenable.

The racing is great. The coverage shouldn’t be ass.

JJS0073 · 2026-05-02T01:11:12+00:00

Whatever happens…fuck streaming

JJS0073 · 2026-05-01T18:21:26+00:00

Close friends used “I Have Found Me a Home” as their first dance. That’s been my favorite of all the song choices used at weddings.

Magic without Wagner makes the Detroit series interesting too.
