Wishing You Were Brian France

Yes even I wish I were Brian France (a/k/a PCNA), if for no other reason than getting my grubby little paws on all that cash he has at his disposal.

But I’m not alone I assure you.

With the FBI investigating an NBA referee for consorting with known Mob figures and betting on games he ref’d and at most, making calls that tilted games in favor of the same Mob figures don’t think for a hot second NBA Commissioner David Stern isn’t wishing he was adopted into the France family years ago.

MLB Commisioner Bud Selig spent over a decade with head planted in the sand ignoring the steroid issue and now the games future home run king will forever have a well deserved asterisk beside his record. Criminy, current record holder Hank Aaron won’t even be on hand when the record is “broken,” that says all there needs to be said.

Yep, old Bud is wishing he were preparing for NASCAR’s second most visible event this week and not overseeing a bunch of over-inflated, over paid ball players.

Then there is the NFL. It can’t get worse than have PETA, PETA picketing your corporate HQ! For commissioner Roger Goodell it isn’t enough to wish to be someone else about now. With the Vick’s CanineGate in full swing his best bet is to dig a deep hole and hide.

And finally there is Mad Max and Bernie Ecclestone, F1’s two major domos, who are in the midst of the McLaren/Ferrari spying bruhaha that threatens to lay waste to rookie Lewis Hamilton’s record setting year and Formula One’s best season in years.

Strike that, nevermind. Those two pompous A-Holes wouldn’t wish to be anyone else no matter what happens. Being billionaires inoculates you from most things connected to reality.

But you get the idea, PCNA may deal with the very rare drug problem in NASCAR and beating back the occasional conspiracy nut job but on the whole his life is a bowl of cherries compared to the other major sports.

And if your honest, given all the above, YOU all wish your were Brain France also.

  1. What I want to know is why isn’t OK for Hendricks Racing to buy the Number 8 from DEI for marketing purposes, but it is OK for Ginn Racing to sell the Number 13 for the points?

  2. Better question: Who cares?

    Show me a single instance in auto racing history where a cars number led to a win and I might change my mind, til then, who cares?

    For the record, NASCAR said the numbers couldn’t be sold and they issue the numbers based on an owners request. Make of that what you will. Nothing in that policy prevents two owners agreeing to a joint request to NASCAR and passing cash under the table.
