And While I’m on the “Shut-up” Kick…

posted in Commentary, NASCAR |

Ray Evernham has nothing on the Cyprus dudes in the preceding post. Here is his explaination on possible fallout from “more than 60 image-conscious sponsors paying the bills to keep Evernham Motorsports in NASCAR’s premier series.”

“I do worry about those things,” Evernham said. “Obviously what people are saying, maybe it makes our partners nervous or whatever. I’ve got to just keep showing people that my personal life doesn’t affect this business. My son battled leukemia for 2

    Open mouth, insert foot please. I might have had my doubts, but I have no doubt now they are together (Erin and Ray). I hope they are happy………..she’s not much of a driver.

    Your “outrage” over Ray’s comparison is well expressed, even if slightly over the top. I sympathize with Ray’s plight and can understand his attempt at a comparison, even if poorly or inappropriately stated.

    I am loathe to speak for, or interpret anyone’s intentions, but I think he was merely trying to point out the fact that if he could cope with his sons illness AND keep his business interests going, he could handle a divorce/girlfriend problem without losing focus. The morons (Yeah you Jeremy!!!) who think he can’t conduct business and have a personal life are the idiots. Ray’s mistake is in responding publicly, at all.

    Equating the life threatening illness of your child to an affair with your employee may not have been the best analogy to use, but hey, nobody’s perfect.

    If I deserve a shut the hell up, I’m sure you’ll let me know!

    No matter his intentions the comparison drawn is too far out of line to ignore. Not to mention noting in public, even if not directly, a workplace relationship as not impacting his business.

    Sorry.

    I have generally taken Ray’s side given Mayfields history now they both have earned my scorn.
