The Super Bowl of Stock Car took a bunch longer than expected due to an issue (read pothole) on the track at Daytona. So the 500 seemed more like a 750 but alas Jamie McMurray had no complaints taking the checkered flag in the end. Also no complaints coming from our current fantasy Nascar leader Rubba Shoes father-in-law. Timmy and Rubba will check in with Scotty Dukes for an All-Star weekend review and they'll also hear from Isaiah live at the track in his clients (read Budweiser) luxury suite. The boys will also discuss Rubba Shoes new ride and why one of the Red Sox pitchers is now doing short track speed skating in Vancouver. That might be a mistake...we'll see. It's all here on the weekend wrap up on the Wicked Pissa Dude Podcast. Thanks for listening and have a great week.

Rubba Shoes went to the Gloves with Timmy and his Dad on Tuesday night and someone got punched in the crotch, can you guess who? Everything seems to be headed south to Florida right now. The Bruins skate twice down there before the Olympic break and Nascar is set to put on it's "Super Bowl" at the Daytona 500. Let's not forget that the equipment truck leaves soon and the Sox will open Spring training in a week. The guys check in with Scotty Dukes to see where some potential deals might be made by the Celtics before the deadline. He'll give his take on the Captains decision to make a go at the All-Star Game in Dallas. All that and a wrap on the world of fantasy sports is right here on the Wicked Pissa Dude weekend preview. Thanks for listening.

As you can see, our Florida correspondent BC is already in Miami soaking up the sun. The podcast celebrates the 150th episode and Timmy has to do it alone as Rubba Shoes had to bail for one of his 7 jobs. God bless him he is among the few, the proud, the over-employed. So Miami is the showcase for the big game that is on every ones mind. Timmy will grab predictions from all the usual suspects and the conversations range from Tim Tebow's faith to the chances of the Sox still making a deal before opening day. Is it possible? Who Knows? Is New England officially jinxed with an injury bug? It all gets discussed this week on a very special BIG GAME preview with your lone host Timmy and a panel of guests that are sure to entertain. The Wicked Pissa fantasy nation will also get the scores checked and a reminder to contact the show if you want in on fantasy Nascar or Baseball. Thanks for listening and enjoy the weekend and the game.

Unexpectedly, Nancy Kerrigan was back in the news again today and once again it was not for good news...she really can't catch a break. The boys discuss.

Then it's on to Boston sports where none of our teams can catch a break, well maybe with the exception of the Patriots who were pleased to discover that Tom Brady will not need surgery during the off-season...ahhhh at least a breath of air anyway.

With the NBA trade deadline just days away now (Feb. 18th) rumors are swirling around Ray Allen who is in his final year of his contract with the Green Team, we get birthday boy Scotty Dukes in on the show to talk Celts.

Adam even brought up the Bruins for a change and NOT for something good...the B's couldn't even fend off the lowly Hurricanes over the weekend and Adam watched every grueling moment of it on a visit home to MA.

All this and a complete fantasy round-up on the show this week.

Today at a press conference in Foxboro a New England Patriot legend has announced his retirement from the gridiron. In 1996 when the Pats drafted Tedy "Beercan" Bruschi in the third round no one would have guessed we'd be talking this way about him 13 seasons later. Heck we were all too busy talking about how great Terry Glenn was going to be, and "she" was for awhile. The linebacker from the University of Arizona went from special teams captain to captain of the entire defense in just a few short seasons. 1,110 tackles 30.5 sacks and 12 INTs are numbers that could and should get him into the Hall, and not just the Hall at Patriot Place either. At first glance those numbers don't wow you, but when you dig into his career, he is the only player in NFL history to return four consecutive INT's for touchdowns, he was the defensive captain on 2 of 3 Super Bowl winning teams. But numbers are not what we will remember most about Tedy Bruschi.

After one of the greatest seasons in Patriots history, only days after winning the third championship in four years all of Pats nation stood stunned to learn that Bruschi had a stroke and was in the hospital in Boston. He was suffering from a heart defect which caused the mild stroke, and many at this point were just hoping he would walk out of that hospital again never mind come back and play for the Pats.

Though he would announce that he would sit out the entire 2005 season, Tedy was cleared to play in October and with the heart of a Patriot, and with the nervousness of us all watching, Tedy came back and played against the Buffalo Bills Oct 29th on national TV and wound up winning the defensive player of the week. He would go on to win Comeback Player of the Year that season, and of course play THREE more seasons with New England, something many thought was not possible. That heart and determination is what we will remember most.

Tedy "Beercan" Bruschi is a New England Patriot, and at age 36 he has done everything a football player can do. He is retiring with his head held high, he will not go down as the greatest linebacker there was, but he will be in my mind one of the greatest New England Patriots I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

Well, This is my first blog so be easy on me. I am a NASCAR fan. I wouldn't say that I am the biggest, I don't watch every lap of every race, but I do my best to watch as many as I can. I am a #24 Jeff Gordon fan, been one since 1992. That is when I lived in Virginia, while I was in the Navy. The Daytona 500 may have been the sports biggest race, but ever since they put restrictor plates on the cars on the super speedways, Daytona and Talladega, in my opinion they have tarnished both tracks. How can you say that the biggest race in your sport is one that can have one crash take out half the field. Because of this there are two different theories on how to take on these tracks. One is to get in front and stay in front, which is very difficult, because if you get hung out, you can go from first to twenty first in 2 seconds. The other theory is to hang back until less than a hundred laps to go then make your move. Well, neither has proved to be the way to go. That one mistake by someone that doesn't have a chance to win, can take out all of the top competitors. Then you have a bunch of nobodies racing for the biggest prize in racing. How can this be the Superbowl of NASCAR. For me, I would take either race at the Bristol, Tenn. track. Those are my two favorite races of the year. Well, that's all I have for now. Don't even get me started on our local track, Louden may be the most boring track on the circuit. That's just one persons perspective. I'm Rubbershoes Corey keepin' it real.
