For the love of Pete and all that is good in Philly, can we PLEASE stop with the TNA photos in every third post? I get it, you think boobs are great. There are other, less obnoxious and alienating great things to accompany your posts. It's hard to take you guys seriously when you are falling so far behind the curve set by your "-ist" brethern.

Hah hah! That is very funny. I hadn't heard all the "NASCAR of something" comments. Frankly, I can't believe anybody would want to compare anything to NASCAR, unless they were insulting it. But that's probably because I just don't get NASCAR.

In regard to the "crack cocaine of alcohol" comment--I think that's very funny, because I still recall that during the winter olympics, they were trying to get people to watch the sports by describing them as the "NASCAR of such and such." Bob Costas called snowboardcross the "NASCAR of snowboarding," or something like that. Then they tried to compare the bobsled to NASCAR because some guy who used to design race cars designed the US bobsleds. Maybe AWOL is actually the NASCAR of alcohol.
