     Dale Earnhardt jr. Good chance he will not make the Chase, with little more than two weeks left in the regular season he has to consider the thoughts of another disappointing season for one of NASCAR popular drivers.

     Sept.11 Richmond International Speedway will be the race Earnhardt will know if he makes the Chase. Earnhardt is currently 18th in the standings and 170 points behind Clint Bowyer who is 12th in the standings, the last position for the Chase. (10 race playoff)

    THE CHASE

     The last ten races of the season all qualifying drivers have their points manually set. The Chasers will have their points set to 5,000 plus ten points for every race that they won during the first 26 races of the season. For example, If you finish the first 26 races in the top twelve in points and have won three races so far that season then you would start The Chase with 5,030 points.

     NASCAR points are still given the same as regular season, and the last 10 races, to determine the champion, the point battle comes down to the last race, last lap.

     Goodell, informed Roethlisberger with the reduced suspension he must avoid any violations of the personal conduct policy. Roethlisberger was accused of sexual assault of a collage student at a bar in Georgia

     Roethlisberger said in a statement, I have learned a lot over the past several months about myself as a person, I am committed to continuing on this path of being the type of person my family raised me to be, and exceeding what is expected of me as the quarterback of the Pittsburgh Steelers.

     The league said, reinstatement is contingent on Roethlisberger continuing to adhere to the program established by our advisers and avoiding any further violations of the personal conduct policy.

     Goodell sent a letter to Roethlisberger saying, you have told me and the Steelers that you are committed to making better decisions, your actions over the past several months have been consistent with that promise, and you must continue to honor that commitment.

NAACP-A watched teapot never boils

Posted 9/3/2010 @ 5:23:10 am by sportsandreality.com

    The NAACP, and left leaning media, like Media Matters for America, Think Progress, and New Left Media, is sponsoring a new website looking for bloggers and videographers that will look for "racism" and "extremism" in the Tea Partiers.

     Teapartytracker.org will do tweets, interviews with people at rallies, looking for racism and t-shirts with radical pictures and slogans. They will monitor racism within the Tea Party movement. We call on the Tea Party to repudiate extremists in their ranks and join in civil dialogue with all Americans. The left leaning UNIONS don't have any racism in their demonstrations, they set a good example for the tea party people.

     The NAACP accused the Tea Party of instances of racism, including spitting on a black congressman, Rep. Emanuel Cleaver, D-Mo., on Capitol Hill.
