    Great job, Ed

    Hey, congrats on a post we can all understand! I guess Satan's Bed got too cold :-)
    It's a hopeless situation...
  • Not wild about this. Tony Stewart has blood on his hands...

    Let me get this straight; you're not "wild about" a charity receiving a shit-ton of money as a donation to help others? You obviously have your own issues that need to be dealt with ffs.
    Tell the captain
    'This boats not safe
    And we're drowning.'

    Maybe I can help you out here. The money donation is great, no doubt. The money was donated in Tony's name, Tony clearly ran a guy over on purpose. He should not have been out there, but Tony straight up ran him over. Money donated good, maybe guys name it came from not so good.

  • Never in a million years would I have thought that Vedder would be involved with NASCAR! Great gesture from the NASCAR community!

    Long time Gordon fan and NASCAR fan.

    Very cool.
  • I actually have a bit of respect for NASCAR now.

    Love NASCAR. Give it a chance!

    I'm close friends with two NASCAR drivers. They are some of the most giving and generous sports figures, with both their time and money, that you will ever find. One of them told me he heard Ed was supposed to be there and I was like "What? No way." and sure enough, there he was. Awesome to see!

    watched the video, just awesome, hopefully that money helps a lot of people.
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    On purpose? How the fuck should he have handled a moron walking in front of his fast moving car during a night race? In the video the guy clearly walked in front of a moving vehicle, it happened so fast Stewart couldn't get around him.

    Hahahahaha! In the video Tony clearly swerves to hit him, not avoid him. He swings his ass end right at him. The car in front of Tony seem to be able miss him in the dark just fine.

    Interesting, the video I watched of it showed him swerve just as he hit the guy. Could have been trying to move. I can't tell what his intention was so I will leave it to the experts. Anyways, since we are moving away from the good of this thread. I will just leave this here.

    "Approximately two dozen witnesses testified in front of the grand jury, including a number of race car drivers, racetrack employees and volunteers, two accident reconstruction experts, medical personnel and a number of police officers. The grand jury also reviewed photographs and video recordings, as well as other evidence, according to the district attorney's office."

    No charges.

    The money donation is amazing don't get me wrong. In my eyes Tony's car fish tales into him just as the front end of his car passes, hitting him with the back right tire. Remember no charges were brought against the guys who beat the shit out of Rodney King, but they certainly did beat his ass....on camera.

    Such a great donation from the NASCAR community. Ed's genuine surprise plus his bleeped response was great. 1.8 million for EB research. Truly remarkable.

    Ummm hate to do this but LOTS of charges were brought against the cops who beat Rodney King.
    They were acquitted on all charges which precipitated the riots.

    Boy this thread is going to shit quick...

    Not just this thread but several others have lately brought into sharp focus something I've been contemplating for a bit: which is more important, what I stand for, or who I stand with?

    (Obviously it's a complex mix of both that each individual will answer differently, sometimes depending on the specific issue.)
