Fat Drivers Whine

Last week, before the Indianapolis 500, Nascar dolt Robby Gordon said it was unfair that Danica Patrick was so light, saying she had a natural advantage for speed, being so spindly. We found this amusing, because once we find the one advantage women have over men in the world of sports, some idiot guy starts complaining about it.

Well, you can now add the Indy 500 champ to the list of idiots. (Scroll of idiots? We like Scroll of Idiots.) Dan Wheldon said yesterday that he sees Patrick's inherent advantage and thinks eventually Indy Car will do something about it. But what will that be? Have a minimum weight requirement? Will Danica have to gorge on Ho-Ho's in the hours before racetime? Does the dispute about her weight "advantage" have more to do with the cover of Sports Illustrated she made for finishing fourth? One thinks that perhaps Wheldon, Gordon and company should worry less about Patrick and more about, oh, losing tht beer gut.
