I'm exhausted. I played 18 holes at Pebble Beach and made $20K. All in a days work. Thanks to the great folks at EA Sports unemployment doesn't suck so bad. I may have found my calling. Yeah, just like I was going to be the next Slash after Christmas when Guitar Hero was keeping me up at night. I can dream.
On to some interesting happenings...
I haven't really commented much on the Jeremy Mayfield versus NASCAR saga regarding the drug policy infractions, but the case just took a hard right to bizarre. It has now driven past the he said he said phase and has entered ludicrous. Skeletons are going to be coming out of closets across the bus lot as it is obvious Mayfield is willing and ready to take down anybody and everybody he can with him. It also appears the case is going to get fugly.
Jeremy Mayfield got caught with his hand in the cookie jar, again. (He initially tested positive and was suspended on May 9). He might want to take that cookie and shove it into his mouth to keep him from talking. I'm not familiar with lawyer jargon, but am familiar with common sense - he appears to be digging a deeper hole. Mayfield calling his sport "corrupt" and his step mother a quote, "gold digging whore" is not helping what little credibility he has.
Testing positive once is a problem, but testing positive twice - give it up. This is not Mayfield's first bridge burning fiasco within the racing community. In a tight nit community the lack of public support by his peers speaks volumes. Throwing people under the bus is not the best PR move, and the fact that there is a documentary film crew following him in an effort to "tell the story" sounds insane. Things just do not seem to add up.
It is the court of public opinion at roughly 70 million versus a marginal driver and his lawyers. I think the numbers speak for themselves.
