Throttle Person-
There is only one reason I did listen to that call-in, and that was to gain a better assessment of this kid, and possibly begin to adjust my thinking of him. I trotted out my share of adjectives to describe his shortcomings, and he had this opportunity to begin his road back with fans and competitors by at least sounding remorseful about the actions he undertook in the car and out of the car. Instead he stayed in his comfort zone of being more victim than offender.
Although I think he should order up a gross of new shirts with the design of his sprint car halting the path of a rumbling Chinese tank. I bet they'd sell.
It doesn't matter to me any longer. You can cherish your relationship with him and all, and that's fine. I'm not going to cast him in a more villainous light than he has already cast himself. The bed he's lying in is his own, but eventually he's really gonna need to change those sheets. They're soiled.
