Sunday was my seventh annual “Why The F*@k Do My Editors Keep Sending Me To NASCAR?” experience.
I get paid to go to these races. So at least I have an excuse. These other 100,000 idiots, I have no clue what they’re thinking (Actually, I do. ‘I’m gonna drink all day ...

Bob Bradley was relieved of his duties as U.S. national team coach Thursday. And it's not a day too soon.
