Before the start of the Saturday Nationwide race at Watkins Glen, my youngest grandson (age 7) asked who I was pulling for. After I told him it didn't really matter so long as it was a good race, he announced he was pulling for Danica Patrick.

When I asked why, he answered, "Because I always like to pull for drivers who finish last."

He was sure onto something Saturday that a betting person could of used.

Haha, very nice. I remember back in 1998 when University of Tennessee Vols were playing Arkansas. UT was undefeated, and the path to the SEC and eventual national championship games was within their control. But they were bumbling around against Arkansas and about to give the game away. I was hollering at the TV "Aww c'mon guys!", "You're KILLING me!", "Seriously Fulmer? Are you KIDDING me?", etc.

After several minutes of this behavior, my 3 year-old at the time looked at the TV, then looked at me, back at the screen, back at me, and then wisely said "Daddy, I don't think they can hear you."

I couldn't help but laugh, tell him he was right, and hug him. His wisdom put me in my place, and the Vols went on to win the game (thanks Clint Stoerner!)
