Kyle Busch Wins At Kentucky

When Nascar put Kentucky on the schedule a lot of promises were made about what great racing this track would provide. The truth is last night it was a very boring race that Kyle Busch won. He led 125 of the 267 laps to win for the second time in three days. It was mostly single file and follow the leader which is not racing in my opinion. Another drawback was around 20,000 fans never made it to the event because of a massive traffic jam on I-71. I have traveled I-71 many times and this should not come as a shock to anyone being it is a two lane highway in that area. Hopefully, the racing will improve and they can fix the issues they had in the first race their.

Luke Fickell Has Tough Road Ahead

Luke Fickell had the dream job a coaching job beside a great mentor in Jim Tressel. He thought the relationship would last for a very long time, but it came to an early end for Fickell. Now all Luke Fickell can do is try to move all and take what he has learned from the experience and get the Buckeyes back on track.

According to Fickell he had no idea what was going on until it became public. He was already going to be head coach for five games, but now he has a chance to become the full-time coach for the college he once played for. Luke Fickell has no preconceived notions on how things will work out. He knows unless he wins he will be gone after one year.

It will be tough on Fickell as everyone will be watching the program and making sure they stay clean. He knows he must do it the right way and Tressel has taught him a lot. It still though will come down to wins and losses for Fickell. The chances that he stays on past one year maybe slim, but you never know what could happen. We will just have to wait and see what Fickell can do.

Could This Be Dwight Howard's Last Year With The Magic?

Dwight Howard has always said he would like to remain in Orlando, but will become a free agent in 2012 as he will not sign the two year extension Orlando has offered him. This really does not come as a shock as Howard has indicated he is keeping all his options open for 2012. He wants better players around him who are committed to winning an NBA Title. What does this means for the Orlando Magic?

It's really pretty simple Dwight Howard will probably not be an Orlando Magic after next season. The truth is Orlando has really no room to make any moves to get good players to help Howard. In the end, it looks like Orlando may have to make a move they did not want to make and that is trade Dwight Howard.

Orlando would love to keep Howard, but unless they can make some moves he will leave in 2012 anyways. I guess it is probably best to trade him and get something for him. Losing him to free agency and getting nothing in return will hurt Orlando a lot. Right now we will have to see how this plays out, but would not shock me to see Dwight Howard playing somewhere else in 2012.
