Sorry, but I have 5-bucks that says Champ Car does not answer the bell in 2008...

So it was spun on SPEED, Paddock has this-

"Meanwhile, some media outlets are spinning the possibility with the exact same quotes used in Speed Channel's story, but with a significantly different bent. Even one self proclaimed 'authority' with a long history claimed, "Haas plans to move team to IRL".

Though one might infer that from the quotes by Carl Haas - Champ Car co-owner of the Newman/Haas/Lanigan team - that isn't exactly what he said. What he said was that the team would 'certainly consider going', but was hoping for a merger this year or next.

But even more interesting than reports spinning to sell copy, is that at this time... no significant additional information has come to light. The original story was strong, with direct quotes, and seemed to leave ample room for more questions...."

My bet is NHL in CC for 2008.

Your bet is your business. But you just admitted I was right. He actuaklly didn't commit to either series for either year. READ THE ORIGINAL QUOTE FROKM THE ORIGINAL STORY. WHAT YOU SAID WAS UNTRUE.

I'm not believing anything until we hear from NHL from a credible source. You can believe what you want.

You should have stopped with "I'm not believing anything". I guess Haas isn't credible.

Oh.

It's not not Haas is not credible but Miller.....just a few short months ago Miller work an article quoting Derrick Walker. Well Walker immed. went on record to tell everyone that Miller not only took his comments out of context but purposely ommitted prior questions that lead to the answer thus twisting the reality of the answer.This is common Robin Miller. As a matter of fact he is a bit on Cavin's comments when asked on his blog today in Indystar website....note when Miller writes beware of what the real truth is and his sources. Other publications have higher standards before they report anything.Question: Is their any truth to the acticle about Tony George making an offer to Champ Car teams for free chassis and engines for the upcoming season? There was also talk in the article about Long Beach, Toronto, Edmonton, Mexico City and Australia being added to the IRL schedule this season. How set in stone is the IRL schedule? Because the Motegi race would have to be moved for the Long Beach Grand Prix. (Ben, Grand Rapids, Mich.)Answer: First of all, let me say this: I believe, as Fred Nation said in the article, that Tony George has had "continuing" talks over the years with Champ Car officials and team owners regarding them joining the Indy Racing League. Here's the reason The Star has not published a story this week about an alleged offer made by Tony in recent weeks: Because no one has gone on the record and confirmed that. As many of you know, I appreciate Robin's effort and his sources, but the information he has used in this case appears to come solely from one unnamed source. The Star has a very strong policy against such reporting; Speedtv.com clearly has different standards. Having said that, I hope Robin's information is correct, but I will caution everyone that this isn't the first time we've "heard" that Tony has offered free engines and free chassis. The last time he steadfastly denied that, saying nothing could be farther from the truth. I guess time, or Tony George, will tell.

OK, so if we hear something from NHL that means we are expecting you to have a new screen name, again?

the bottom line is so far I have only one bettor (you can guess who).

Back in October I had aboout 10 or so bettors.

Now, is there anybody in their clear thinking minds, except the sanguine fanatics, that would still like to take this bet ????

It feels good to rub **** in peoples faces doesn't it???

You don't really know what's going to happen, and neither do any of us!!

I know this much though. There isn't a **** thing that we can do about it.

We can voice our opinions, but that's as far as it goes.
