Open your mouth, lose your job. Bosses are not interested in your opinions, and they are always right too.

Now on Antron, he is an excellent guy and a great ambassador to our sport. Glad he won the title. It can only help grow us.

I'll respectfully disagree with the second sentence of this statement. Personally I'm glad Antron won the championship. To say Schumacher was greedy in trying to win the race and the championship I feel is unfair and possibly disrepectful. It's the nature of the sport and the absolute foundation of fair competition to do your honest best to win.....anything less could be considered throwing a race. If Schumacher had won, well "that's racing" as the saying goes. My hat's off to both drivers for doing their best to win.

I'm reasonably sure there are some who would immediately accuse Schumacher of throwing the race for Antron if he hadn't given his all. Geeze.

Then we get to "Sarge"!
It's an insult to everybody that has put their life on the line for our nation to insinuate that a "non-server" deserves the title "Sarge" in relation to the United States Army!

X-2! That is a pet peeve of mine also, Bill!

Always annoyed me also.

I've always thought that as a goodwill ambassador and role-model for "MY" Army, Tony Schumacher has done an outstanding job. His use of the nickname "Sarge" and having Sergeant's stripes on his race car never bothered me at all, because I know how much he's done for the U.S. Army, and they were conferred on him by someone with a lot more rank than I ever had. It might be a different story if he asked everyone to call him Sergeant Schumacher, which he never has. And there are at least a few Soldiers who I made sure understood that you don't call a Sergeant of any rank "Sarge"!:D

I agree with Koski, it is an insult to those of us that earned the stripes I got mine while vacationing in sunny Cambodia
