Don Cherry is known for not having a filter, but he's going to learn that you can upset people very quickly with certain comments. He was responding to a question from John Buccigross about attendance problems in Detroit when he dropped the r-neck bomb....

Wow...that's one hell of a coat isn't it? That seems like a pretty good assessment minus the whole redneck business, and it looks like Don isn't making any friends in Detroit anytime soon. Good first appearance...way to make it a little controversial.

Don Cherry: "Detroit's a Redneck Town" (Fanhouse)

So I got a hold of the first two NASCAR on ESPN promos that you will see over, and over, and over, and over for the next few months. I'm partial to the AC/DC one (FIRE!). The part when the guy raises the American Flag with the Tony Stewart Flag.......well that's priceless.





Look at them quick because it should be only seconds before ESPN calls for a hit on my YouTube account.

***Update***- I know what you're thinking....enough with the NASCAR news, but this is funny.....(from USAToday.com)

Clarkson revs up NASCAR deal

Kelly Clarkson is teaming up with NASCAR for the 2007 season. She will perform a concert before a race, appear in TV spots and be involved with NASCAR's charitable efforts. The organization says this is its first season-long marketing deal with a music artist. The Grammy winner will perform Feb. 18 on a live Tribute to America special on Fox prior to the Daytona 500. The former American Idol also will serve as spokeswoman for the fourth annual NASCAR Day on May 18 and wraps up the season performing at the Nextel Cup's Champions Banquet in New York Dec. 3.

***Update #2***- Another weird thing I just found. Apparently Brad Daugherty (Cleveland Cavs Center) is doing commentary on the broadcasts?!?!?! This is just getting more and more weird by the minute.

“That’s the main reason I’m doing this. I said to myself, ‘If I don’t accept this opportunity, I don’t know who else will get it” – New ESPN/ABC NASCAR analyst Brad Daugherty, a former NBAer and a former Craftsman Truck Series team owner, on being the most visible African-American covering motorsports

***Update #3***- Okay last thing, and I promise I'm done with NASCAR......

TNT will air a special tribute to NASCAR personality Benny Parsons during the “NBA Tip-off Show” at 7:00pm ET tonight.

That's all I can really say after watching this vid from a Bears Fan. Sack Attack Rack Back Stack Lack Crack.



Umm....what?
