      Ermm, it might be a close one, NASCAR is not as easy as it looks, im telling you, those guys hold the racing line at silly speeds, one slip off the racing line and its goodnight, thats why you get those crazy crashes, also you are going round in an oval over and over again, so the concentration levels to stay on line, be faster than the other guys, slip off the line, go past him, take back the line, at 200mph over and over again must be outstanding.

      Remember cars arent desgined to hit those speeds and hold a steady circular line, it takes serious skill to lift off and put your foot down on the right parts of the oval to keep the car online, otherwise the car wont turn and just go on into the wall at 200 mph, which sometimes does happen.

          Vick is a quarterback who can run. He's no more special than that. Hey Falcons, how many Superbowls have you won with Michael Vick? Is it... none? What's your pass completion rate? Is it... a little over 50%?

          He's going to spend his prison term as a wide reciever.

            In the States, I'd say Beckham isnt too popular probably not even in the top 15 out of just athletes. His whole deal over here is he's so popular across the world that MLS was hoping that would translate over here but bottomline no one really cares about soccer. ESPN is trying very hard to push him which is why people know his name but i think the interest is more of a fad, and after this year all interest will die down over here. As for Floyd, over 2 million people recenlty paid to watch him fight, before that hundreds of thousands did, so i'm saying Floyd actually actually might be more popular over here, its just they're pushing Beckham's fame down our throats trying to make him a star over here, and thats why we hear about him.

              That would be true if "they" were the MLS, but for the most part he's hardly mentioned by the MLS. The other day I heard a radio broadcast from a channel that never gives soccer scores (I live in Canada) that gave the match score for Man City vs Man United (1-0 City ) on the basis that Utd is Beckham's old team... Entertainment Tonight is all over it. The entertainment media are the ones who are into Beckham.
