CHAMP Car Rumble

July 31, 2006

The fight in the pits between Paul Tracy and Alex Tagliani in the CHAMP Car race in San Jose is the last straw. I need hockey season to start, and I need it now. I feel like Joel Goodsen in class right now. The clock is going backwards. There wasn’t much to the Tracy/Tagliani scrap, [...]

Free Agent Palooza ‘06

July 2, 2006
