Somewhere in Oklahoma at this very instant, you have just pissed off a fat toothless nascar fan with a "3" tattoo on his calf. Job well done picker!

"Hey Bubba, what did you do Sunday?"

"I watched fast cars make left turns for 4 hours!"

Great comment, Zach. Are you after the picker's job?

Fishing, cheerleading, poker. These are the REAL sports I crave. I don't consider the ability to maintain control of a car while traveling 190+ mph in an enviroment where the temperature exceeds 120 degrees for over 4 hours all while surrounded by 42 other cars which are much of the time bouncing off each other accomplishment at all.

Doc: Resetting the competition is one thing.

Catching up during a time out is another.

With all the technology available, why can't they put the cars back where they were at the caution flag?

Note to horse racing Gene from previous blog:

I made so much on Denis of Cork, I sprained my back lifting the bread.

The only thing to worry about with that nice horse is he might have the tendency to lay back a bit much; as fields get better, there will be more good stuff to have to pass.

Before the race, he was 46-1 on the future book.

Dear Pick,
Actually, a caution flag is not a "time out". Action continues in the pits during a caution flag period. Depending on teamwork and strategy, positions may be gained or lost in the pits during a caution period.
-
What do you propose? Eliminating pit strategy and teamwork because we have the technology to space the cars out?
-
Similar situation: Boxing. In between rounds, the fighters have the opportunity to "catch up". That is, regain some of their strength and composure. Should we use technology to return each boxer the the level of pain experienced as the previous round was ending?

NIT picker, I don't see you revealing yourself---or do you have the luxury of talking big game and not backing any of it up? You remind me of a baby that constantly cries abnoxiously loud in order to receive attention. Hopefully the picker will ignore you until you cry yourself to sleep.

What is this "Women's Basketball" you speak of and what is OU????

Mike:
I advocate World Picker not be allowed to ridicule, criticize and lie in secret. I believe he should be held accountable for his statements by being required to identify himself to his readers, both to those who agree with him and to those who do not.

Once World Picker is outed, then I believe all posters, such as you and I, should also be required to identify ourselves as a condition of posting.

I firmly believe it will raise the level of discussions (postings) in both directions.

As it is now, World Picker is not accountable for anything he says.

Alpha Dog: I don't know what that thing called womens BB is, I just know the OU one beat KSU and the OSU one lost to KSU.
But, make no mistake, I do also know the OU one lost to the Baylor one and the OSU one beat the OU one.
The real point is that World Picker has nothing to say about any of the above except his ridicule of the OU one when it lost. He is a fan bigot.
You are one of his minions.

The Nit Picker does OU more harm than Stoops making more than all the science department profs combined (see new blog).

He's a frustrated writer who can't get on with Sooners Hourly or one of those homer publications that does articles about how Venables should be coaching for the Packers.

Doc: What I propose is putting the cars back where they were when the time-out was called.

Dear Eric,
I am glad you have seen my blogs on here for "months and months". What is it that I do all day? I might ask you the same question. Believe me, we aren't friends.
Is that your coney in the corner or did Alpha Dog have an accident?

Alpha Dog,
You are starting to ramble incoherently. Take your meds, then take a tepid shower with World Picker. Eric grabbed your coney.

World Picker,
As far as being a writer, I don't feel I am in very good compan. Of course, I do not get paid for writing. What have you ever written?

I make as much as Stoops, so what? How can I harm him by criticizing you? At least he uses his real name.
Science professors? They are a dime a dozen anywhere but MIT.

I note that neither you nor your minions can come up with anything to refute my postions, other than to attack me personally. That is frustation, pal.

You still don't get it, it isn't a time out.

It is time for World Picker to crawl out of his hidey hole and put his real name on his blog. Secrecy produces mediocracy and precludes accountability.
No more secret columnists/bloggers.

Finally: Am I the only one that finds it troubling that the attorney defending Reggie Bush in the Lake lawsuit is reported to also be an analyst for ESPN? Is it really true?
Research department, please get on that.
