Like his calls or not, like him or not, here's what I think.....the guy could walk into any track, anywhere in the US, probably the world, ask to speak with someone in virtually any department at the track -- and unless he was truly an real piece of sh!t in how he treated them, which I've never seen -- they would give him a box, a table, accommodate him, and he would be treated with reverence, courtesy, professional regard, and esteem. He has recognition, standing, and stature, in our sport. That's more than I can say about any one here. Sure, maybe he is a jerk to a fan, even some. Many are. So what. Maybe his standing doesn't make him a legend, but it certainly doesn't make him what some are making him out to be. Little Andy once said "we mock what we don't understand, especially at the track."

Well said and written. Give him a table, hospitality.etc. Certainly well deserved and earned.
What I'm saying and think many would echo is: Just don't give him a mic anymore. 11.wp
