You've gotta hand it to those NASCAR folks. They're keepin' as real as they can keep it here in Plague America.
Yesterday, they took their iRacing show to Bristol, virtually speaking, and all manner of hijinks ensued. Jimmie Johnson "fired" his "spotter" 20 laps into the race after crashing into another car he had supposedly cleared. Internet issues caused Erik Jones to miss qualifying. Daniel Suarez was bitching real-life style after Kyle Larson "wrecked" him.
Oh, and Clint Bowyer pined for another beer after Bubba Wallace "pushed" him out of line. Then Bubba got honked off and bailed out of the game, just like actual gamers do all the time.
His fans subsequently began ripping him on Twitter, as if this were real or something. Blu-Emu, one of his sponsors "fired" him. And Wallace had a good laugh at all the silliness.
"I ruined so many people's day by quitting ... a video game," he marveled.
Well, hey, Bubba. Everybody's got their way to cope.
Me?
Well, yesterday I flipped on the tube and saw CBS was airing the 2012 NCAA championship game between Kentucky and Kansas, which reminded me that today would have been the day of the title game in a world gone sane. So this afternoon, I think I'll tape "One Shining Moment," walk down to the playground and play it while I shoot free throws.
We do what we can.
