Little Al....D'oh!

Way to go Little Al! It's always nice when the stars fuck up and this guy seems to be a never ending series of fuckups. This one may end up costing him his career. Unser has been charged with domestic battery and violence stemming from an incident Tuesday morning. Al, Al, Al! I am not now nor have ever been a fan of Little Al, or any Unser for that matter and the details of this one are just too good to pass up an opinion.

Brought in to the IRL last season by the deep pockets of Tony “Enunciate please” George, Unser was to be one of the foundations in the IRL's attempt to be the top open wheel champ car series in America. Memo to IRL: You didn't need him. The IRL already had CART on the ropes, but the powers that be saw Little AL as the last nail in the CART coffin. Well guess what, he has not dominated the series and since Penske has come to the IRL full time, is simply another driver chasing Who-Lee-Ohh, Gil and Sam (I'd include Scheckter if he could ever finish a race). He's no more of a threat to the IRL championship than Robbie, Sarah or George Mack and is way behind Cheever and Sharp.

And now this latest chapter in the Little Al story. Never mind the messy divorce and the drug rumors, this one is good! First of all him and his GIRLfriend are at the Classy Chassy. Whenever I go out on a date I think of the titty bar first as a destination. Wrong! And for those of you who have been there, it's not exactly the finest establishment of its kind in town. Okay, maybe it was a racing thing! So he gets trashed at the Chassy. Damn I wish I could have been there to see that! Little Al drinking, heavily, at the titty bar, with his woman. I wonder which one had more lap dances. Then upon leaving he is so trashed that he is shifting the car, while she drives on the highway into neutral and reverse. Hey Tom Kelley, checked that transmission in your race car lately? But he doesn't leave it at that. After his woman allegedly slapped him, he hits her…while she's driving. Class act all the way!

The kicker for me though comes when he denies even knowing her. He has been dating her for four years for Gods sake. He finally comes clean and is taken to jail.

What a loser. From the blocking incident in the 1982 500 to this latest fiasco, the lows have certainly outweighed the highs. You know he will have sponsor problems, problems with George and with Kelley Racing. But do any of those entities need the headaches? I say no. Cut your losses with this guy. He's not gonna win anything. The series has passed him by in 18 months. He couldn't cut it in CART. Maybe he should just go snowmobiling with his uncle. I suppose it's bad to kick someone when they're down, but when it's a name like say, Unser, it is just too easy. So long Al, try to stay out of trouble. By the way, I hear Pat Patrick is looking for a replacement for Townsend Bell. With the obviously low expectations of that turd you may fit in well!
