Jeffrey Maier. Has anyone else become a national “celebrity” specifically FOR cheating? 13 years later, I still hope he gets taint-punched daily.

I tend to lean towards not cheating, but only because Nascar as a sanctioning body is usually not-as-far-behind-the-curve as in other sports.

Johnson has had his cars torn apart by Nascar R&D at least 4 times this season alone, that have been publicized, and I’d imagine his tech checks are probably the longest in the series (if someone kept track of that).

While it’s certainly possible, his team really is at a whole different level of professionalism and tactics, unlike a lot of the other good ol’ boy teams out there, even today. He and his team are some cold blooded mercenaries who devote every ounce of energy to the goal- not commercials, not mugging for cameras, not XM radio shows- only winning.

But they could be cheating too.

RATL, Tim Higgins is the only ref I can recall by name in the NCAA! Must not be a coincidence!

On a different subject, I assume Jimmy Johnson is a cheater in NASCAR. How could he possibly be so much better than everyone else? His car is illegally better methinks.

The Big East refs are the biggest attention whoring refs ever created.

Example one: In the 2006 double OT game with Marquette, Tim Higgins managed to piss off both our fans and the Marquette somehow. He was so bad people started throwing shit on the court, and not just the students.

Example two: The refs in the 2007 Backyard brawl that called all those bullshit holding penalties that tried to get the mountainqueers into the BS Championship Game. Thankfully it didn’t work. 13-9 Baby.

What cheaters.

I’ll also throw in Barry Lamar Bonds. He might be the biggest cheater ever.

My mistake, apparently Dunn scored the TD and some other asshole threw the clip. EITHER WAY, FUCK YOU.

FSU @ UF, 1993, Charlie Ward throws a pass to the left, Warrick Dunn deliberately blocks Anthone Lott in the back, the receiver houses it (Vanover?), and the Criminoles win.

But that’s ok. See Sugar Bowl, 1997.
