Sure, there have been a few drug incidents, but none involving a big-name driver. And I have no idea when the last sex scandal involving a driver happened.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-60834888060830486692010-10-07T13:49:23.130-04:002010-10-07T13:49:23.130-04:00Wow. All I can say that this is a sad state of aff...Wow. All I can say that this is a sad state of affairs for Mr. Goldberg, but where are personal honor and values in his life? It's impossible to justify his actions and if he's convicted he'll likely have a "sex offender" tag hung around his neck and he'll have to live with that. I cannot and will not judge him. <br /><br />The incident does cause me to wonder, once again, what has happened to people's values. How can one say, "I'm going to do this wrong thing, but it's OK"? Without going off on a personal values and/or faith rant, isn't this just another brick in the wall? <br /><br />Ego and power are a drug, a bad drug, in the entertainment industry but it deludes those at the top of the heap that they are somehow exempt from the rules the rest of us live by. When the law or the public see people like this stepping over the line they get caught and called to account. It's happened before and this will not be the last time. It saddens me that things have come to this for Mr. Goldberg, and in a broader context for society at large. <br /><br />The question can be asked, "should we then hold others to our personal standards?" I would say no because my standards are very personal, arrived at through my faith, teachings and experience. They work for me but won't necessarily work for anyone else. But what we can demand is that people have values and standards and that they live by them. Laws are one way to enforce them but once they're invoked the damage is already done. <br /><br />ESPN is a community and it has a culture. Someone always sets the tone for that culture. Dave Thomas did it for Wendy's, Uncle Walt did it for Disney, Ed Murrow did it for CBS news. Who's setting the culture for ESPN? It seems that no one is... not that I can see. At the risk of oversimplifying the issue, that's a big part of the problem. <br /><br />The good ship ESPN has lost it's rudder and been adrift for a long time in many ways beyond Mr. Goldberg's problems. Who will step up to management, grab them by the lapels and say, "don't you see what's happening here?"Tripp back in NHhttp://racerx360@gmail.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-64312172322175327642010-10-07T10:50:57.167-04:002010-10-07T10:50:57.167-04:00This is the most disturbing news I've heard in...This is the most disturbing news I've heard in a while, it makes my stomach turn.

I just want you to know that I did not say bad words in my posts all i said is hell and i don't recall hell being a bad or profane word. I want to say that I am like all of you here, including John, a person who wants to make a difference.<br /><br /><br />I comment on here because I totally agree with all of you ESPN and Fox are ruining the NASCAR broadcasts and are doing next to nothing about it. All of you get fired up and all the bashing is warranted and they fall on deaf ears, even to the extent that David Hill says tough to all of us. Now thats one way to treat your customers aka viewers.<br /><br />I don't watch anything on ESPN anymore because it is the all hype sports network and they give little attention to the little guys. The only place i watch sports is on the NHL, MLB and NFL networks respectively b/c they treat all sports equally.<br /><br />Goldberg's arrest is one mess that keeps digging ESPN's big hole they can try to get out of but can't or not willing to.<br /><br />I, like yourself and others, long for the days of Bob Jenkins, Ned Jarrett and Benny Parsons. We all long the days that ESPN was the classiest channel on TV. I know you used to work for ESPN John and would like to know did ESPN listen for feedback to it's viewers? ESPN was etter until Disney bought it along with ABC. The integration of ABC sports really killed me. <br /><br />Sorry for the long post, John. Just needed to get some stuff off my chest and once again thanks for providing a place for all NASCAR fans to come and talk.<br /><br />Oh and BTW If you need me on sundays, I'll be cheering on my Pittsburgh Steelers.saltsburgtrojanfannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-54001363957148972332010-10-06T21:34:18.794-04:002010-10-06T21:34:18.794-04:00In L.A. today & just popped in to see if there...In L.A. today & just popped in to see if there was talk of the sinkhole in Charlotte.

Not that lunatic that tried to BLACKMAIL Letterman (who was still single when he dated women that worked for him over the years, btw)<br /><br />(Sorry JD to ask this)<br /><br />This is a disgusting read on Goldberg.<br /><br />The thing that disgusts me is before you get CHARGED with stalking women, you have to be one (stalker that is)..and for this lewd act and bail of $1000, this guy is out of jail already? Scary. No wonder so many creeps on street...One usually only has to post %10 of bail to go home.<br /><br />If this is true, I would NOT want to work with Goldberg & I am pretty open minded about sexual issues. The more you know about psychology, the scariest this should make you. This is not a 'boys will be boys or men deal.'<br /><br />After the Erin Andrews stalker across country (and MY BIG gripe on that story, what HOTELS gave out her name??????????? Never heard the answer to that either)<br /><br />But back on track...peeping tomes used to be considered harmless decades ago but now we know that to be different...so it's scary/sad for all involved.
