Sam Hornish Stays in the IRL

Hoo-fucking -ray! The IRL got some great news this week when Sam Hornish Jr. announced he would be joining Penske Team Marlboro on Penske's IRL team. Finally one that didn't get away! The only unfortunate part of the deal is the retirement of Gil deFerran.

Well good luck on your future endeavors Gil! He is getting out while the getting is good. And no one will have to wish Sam good luck. He moves to the head of the class and now has a ride commensurate with his talent! Fuck you NASCAR! Didn't get this one!

And we bid adieu to Isiah Thomas as coach of the Pacers. I know Jermaine is all pissed off and all but I think when he gets back to town he will see the team is NOW dedicated to getting better. Isiah's coaching moved befuddled me over the past season. Most notably his rotations were so inconsistent. It's good to try new things but regular rotations have been a part of the NBA forever and there is a reason for it. They work! Good luck Isiah, I'm sure you'll end up somewhere in the league, I'm just glad you aren't our head coach any more.
