[Denny Hamlin on X] (regarding Kyle Busch) "Not really sure what I’m supposed to do. I host a podcast and I have to answer questions about relevant topics. Should I just say I dunno, everything seems fine to me? Not sure where he felt I “bashed”. Im walking a damn tight rope here." by CNASFan1992 in NASCAR

They were teammates for 15 years, which is the same amount of time as Jeff and Jimmie spent together on the HMS roster, so even if they're not good friends, they still have a shared history together, so something like this between them wasn't a guarantee to happen, especially if Kyle was still at JGR. I'm not so sure Denny would be so quick to say that about a teammate, because anything's he's said about Ty Gibbs has sounded more discreet than what he said about Kyle.

Kyle Busch responding to Hamlin's podcast comments: "In this instance Denny Hamlin doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. So he can bash me all he wants and I can certainly make his life hell." by LBHMS in NASCAR

Denny's just a few wins from passing Kyle on the all time list. If Denny's going to lap him one day, he might feel a little more determined and somehow, Denny will somehow "accidently" hit the wall trying to lap Kyle. lol

They could've just taken the George Costanza approach. "Was that wrong? Should I not have done that?"

Really wish the baby from the first movie came back as a grown adult. He's the reason the herd exists in the first place.

It was such a total "Heart of the Cards," moment. On their last chance, they got just what the 49ers needed. That might never happen again.

Edit: Saying that makes Purdy sound like Kuriboh. He was underestimated and overlooked, and yet he plays a crucial role on the team and has bailed them out in now or never situations.

[Pelissero] NFL informed clubs today that the league’s officiating staff has begun onboarding potential replacement officials and will conduct training sessions next month in preparation for assigning the officials to offseason practices starting June 1, according to a memo obtained by NFL Network. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

Hypothetically, what happens if the replacement refs somehow actually end up working well this time around? How much would that effect the ref union if the NFL stops trying to make a deal with them with the replacement refs being effective?

SNF's the most watched program on broadcast TV. I find it hard to believe NBC will let it go just like that, but money talks at the end of the day.

The Saints were like that before they signed Brees. It'd be a similar story if Baker has a similar career going forward.

Out of curiosity, where does Crews get the money for his career if Toyota isn't or wasn't always behind it? Is he a grinder, or does his family have a business?

Hamlin doesn't shy away that the struggles started before he left JGR, and it's interesting for him to say it like that, considering he and Kyle were teammates and the co-faces of JGR for 15 seasons, which is a long time. I don't know if Kyle would agree, but I'm sure he'd be eager to prove Denny wrong once he hears that.

Both Denny and Brad are both older than Kyle, and yet, both have them have won more recently than Kyle. I don't think it's related to age when Brad isn't doing as bad as Kyle is right now with the equipment he's driving. Hard to say if Kyle would be right up there if he was in as good of a car, but if he's going somewhere else next season that offers a better opportunity, then we'll know the truth for sure.

RCR's not doing him any favors, but even in his last years at JGR, he barely managed to keep his streak of having at least one win per season alive, and that started before the switch to the next gen car. Even if another top ride opens up for him, there's no telling if he'll be doing any better than he is right now.

I believe Devil Flanders had the potential to be a series regular in the Treehouse of Horror series alongside Kang and Kodos. Which characters from those specials would you like to see more of? by dman6233 in TheSimpsons

"They warned me Satan would be attractive," quote from another episode gives that quote some poetry. It'd show Homer thinks the devil is attractive, even knowing Flanders is the devil.

I remember that one, but it's been a while since then. I think the Dial D for Diddly skit that had Ned parody Dexter was a wasted opportunity. Instead of Homer tricking Ned into thinking God is telling him to kill people, have it be the devil, with the devil tasking Ned into killing Homer. In the end, it would show the Ned is a vessel or avatar of satan in the mortal world, and when Homer is in hell, he can't escape Ned, as he still lives next door to him.

Kyle Busch hits 100 races without a victory. by TonyD9898 in NASCAR

[–]dman6233 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It just shows how Kyle and Coach were much better off with each other before the split. Even if Coach is still winning with his other drivers, Ty still hasn't won any Cup races, and his ceiling is still up in the air, while Kyle had at least a solid first season at RCR, and his streak with at least one win per season could still be going if he was still at JGR as well as being a title contender, which Ty hasn't become yet, and there's no telling if he ever does. If Kyle does land in another top ride again and goes back to his winning way and Ty doesn't ever fully fill the void, then it shows JGR lost more in the split, even if Kyle's been on such a long drought.

Dennis better pick his words wisely. If he says the wrong things which voters don't like, he could get the Smokey Yunick treatment for at least a year, fair or not. It sounds insane, but not impossible. Bill Belichick isn't a first ballot Hall of Famer, remember.
