Hey.
* The Penguins are going to the Stanley Cup finals, to play the winner of the Detroit/Dallas series. I care about the Penguins 'cause I used to live in Pittsburgh. Not that I think I know anybody playing for the Pens.
* The Bump Day for the Indy 500 race was less dramatic than I had hoped. There were only about five or six drivers participating in this game of rushin' roulette. I was surprised that one driver crashed and then got in another car and qualified, the same afternoon. I doubt I could do that. I doubt I'd want to be driving in a race where another driver DID that!
I was interested to see that one of the cars that qualified had a Champ Car series engine. It's a shame that IRL is a Dallara-only circuit (whereas in the past both IRL and CART/Champ Car supported many chassis manufacturers) and wished that the merger with Champ Car would respark that competition beyond the drivers themselves.
* I could use some research help from my British Isles friends. What Football Clubs there have as their colors black and yellow/gold/amber? This knowledge may have practical applications.
