And now, from our home office in McKinney, Texas, the Top 10 Comments We've overheard about Bubba lately:
Number 10: Was that a face plant, or is he just doing “the worm” again?
Number 9. I’ve seen him dance; are you sure he’s not white?
Number 8. I’ve got your “sprinkler” right here.
Number 7. Let’s see: Fifth, crash. Third, crash. Win, crash. Win—what comes next?
Number 6. I think that’s the Bubba Scrub, but I didn’t know he did it with his face.
Number 5. Carmichael has a move named after him, too, and he does it every year. They call it the Title Grab.
Number 4. So many champions to disrespect, so little time.
Number 3. I hear he’s exactly what NASCAR is looking for: a cocky, trash talking, crash-prone newbie from the farm leagues who wears outrageous outfits while he bad-mouths the legendary champions of the sport and does embarrassing little end-zone dances when he wins. Oh wait, I was thinking of Wrestlemania.
Number 2. Shut up and sing; er, race.
And the number one comment overheard lately about Bubba:
At least he’s not Alessi.
