Don't look now, but you're surrounded by NASCAR fans!!! It's ok, we're
both bass fishermen too. If you spend any time on either a NASCAR or a
bass fishin bulletin board, you might be a redneck. If you spend time
on both, you're definitely a redneck. d;^)

Oh, don't get me wrong. I am a big NASCAR fan. (I've been trying to
get the manager of the local Office Depot to get me one of those Carl
Edwards cardboard standups to go on my garage wall.)

I understand that professional BASS fishing is a business and needs to
be promoted to grow and make money. I just don't like the direction
that ESPN has taken BASS.
