Even Superman has Clark Kent moments.

 

Can't stand Anderson-- I root for anyone in the other lane.. Arrogant POS

 

Thought it was just me,If you watch when they interview him he will scratch underneath is eye with his middle finger sometimes and only when he loses he will scratch his eye.

 

It seems silly to me to have your crew wearing headsets and not being able to communicate with their driver...bet that changes real soon.

 

It looks to me like the crew Cheif was about to go ballistic and was giving him signals to not go past the line.

 

That was a fk up of oh shit proportions

 

How in the frick does a professional 40 plus year guy not know the rules!!!!

You'd be surprised. Most pro athletes don't know the rules of the competition they're competing in. Most baseball players and managers don't know the most basic rules, for example. Even on Major League Baseball level. And they've played since they were 5 yrs old.

It extends well past baseball. I imagine it's extremely common in any competition or sport.

Here's one example. Most baseball players don't understand that making any sort of personal comment towards an umpire gets you thrown out immediately. And yet every time it happens to one, they act like they have no idea what happened or why they were ejected. Then the announcers talk about "that was too quick. He didn't even do anything!" because they don't know they rules, either.

It makes baseball in particular hard to watch these days. Especially with all the cry baby players that bitch and boohoo about balls and strikes every time they go to the plate. It's like a fucking soap opera at home plate now.

Or another example. Two, equipment violations gets you ejected. So every time someone strikes out and throws the bat and the helmet, they get tossed and they go ballistic because "they didn't do anything" while the manager comes out and goes ballistic too. It's a joke watching so many players argue with umpires over stuff only because they're clueless about what the rules of the game they play actually are.

The bat is the first violation and you get a warning. Then once the helmet goes, they're ejected and yet 99% of players don't seem to know that 2 warnings for throwing equipment equals an ejection.

 

Say what you want about Anderson he’s got the most wins in Pro Stock history. He learned more than a few things from WJ.

 

He's an Arrogant Piece of Shit- his disrespect toward WJ some years back proved no matter how many WINS he gets he is still a Fucking Loser

 

I saw an interview with Greg Anderson. He was fully aware of the rule. He did not think he passed the starting line on the first attempted burn out. He admitted he messed up. Goes to show even the best can make a mistake. He did say a radio might be in his future.

There you go, nothing wrong with admitting you made a mistake.
I screw up all the time, no reason to deny it.

A man doesn't blame someone else for his failings.

Who hasn't had a few starting line brain farts? I know I have. It happens to every racer occaisionally. Double bulbing, going deep on accident, just try to minimize the mistake and don't get DQ'd. Crossing the starting line twice is a major bozo no-no.

 

You know how it is with the gods. They show a hint of human weakness the vultures come flying out of the woodwork. Anderson didn’t become the all time wins leader being incompetent or stupid.

You do realize that baseball is an form of entertainment, I hope. A lot of those "rhubarbs" are part of the show. And, a lot of the fans enjoy them proven by the level of noise while they are happening. If you don't care for them, that's your prerogative.

Mishap Managed; Greg Anderson Hovers Near Top Spot After Race One of NHRA Countdown to the Championship | Drag Illustrated

The first of six races in the 2025 Mission Foods Drag Racing Series Countdown to the Championship is in the rearview, and Greg Anderson, driver of the HendrickCars.com Chevrolet Camaro, is still shaking his head but already shifting gears. The 40th annual NHRA Reading Nationals presented by...

I was surprised [by the disqualification], to say the least,” said Anderson. “I thought the rule was just for Sportsman racers. I just honest to God didn’t know or remember. It was a mistake, and one I certainly wish I didn’t make – but there’s no going back and changing it. The good news is that the potential is there with my HendrickCars.com car, we just need to make clean runs and race error-free. We have to race like we’ve raced all year.

With my hat in my hand, kind sir, I stand corrected.
