Howdy Craig!
In a note to All  Craig Schroeder scribbled:
CS> What's with all the Gordon bashing in here?  The kid's been a
CS> winner in every category of racing he's been involved with.
CS> He obviously has an edge in skill that only comes along once
CS> in a while.  Just to reach the major leagues of one's sport
CS> exemplifies rare talent, but to excel among the best takes
CS> something else altogether.
CS> The best athletes and competitors share very similar
CS> reflexes, understanding of equipment and techniques.  Then
CS> there are the chosen few who have that certain edge.  It may
CS> be something as simple as eyesight advantage, the ability to
CS> see things happening further away or peripherally.  Maybe it's
CS> the ability to see things in slow motion that others can't.
CS> Musial (sp?) and Ted Williams could see the laces on pitched
CS> baseballs and it set them apart for greatness.
CS> I'm saying that Gordon has the "touch".  In an era of
CS> homogenized, almost cloned equipment in the silhouette series of
CS> Winston Cup, his skill level sets him apart from the ordinary.
CS> He's got the fire to dig down deep when it's needed to ride a
CS> ragged edge and play games with physics.  Cheer for someone else
CS> (I do), but don't attack talent.

Craig, please join me in the NASCAR echo.  The Earnhardt fans are about to
eat me alive in there and I'm the moderator. :)
