Weekly Chats

This weeks chat wrap is all across the board like a quarter to three...go ahead take a minute to figure it out. We've kinda moved a little more toward other sports instead of just MLB & NFL this week. This weeks chats feature David Newton on Nascar,Barry Melrose on NHL, Patrick Crayton of the Dallas Cowboys, Steve Muench on College Football& David Thorpe with NBA Talk

Here you go...

Keep in mind Jules knows nothing about Nascar and still get a bunch of questions answered. We love D-Newt

Tommy(TheStatPack): Is the 96 team looking at adding a big name driver or develop one of their own?

David Newton : (3:13 PM ET ) The 96 team signed J.J. Yeley a month ago. Where were you? Watching soaps on your DLP TV?

Tommy(TheStatPack): Can't watch DLP TV's the little girl with the mirrors scares me. Your a Carolina Panther guy how long can Vinny last?

David Newton : (3:25 PM ET ) Apparently he can last longer than Dan Morgan, who always is hurt. He might as well retire.

Tommy(TheStatPack): Can't watch DLP TV's the little girl with the mirrors scares me. Your a Carolina Panther guy how long can Vinny last?

David Newton : (3:25 PM ET ) Apparently he can last longer than Dan Morgan, who always is hurt. He might as well retire

Jules(TheStatPack): Are you related to Isaac Newton? Sir David Newton?

David Newton : (3:36 PM ET ) No, the only connection I have to his theory on gravity is connected to my waistline.

Tommy(TheStatPack): Best place to eat after a Daytona race?

David Newton : (3:38 PM ET ) Charlotte. After two weeks in Daytona you want to get the heck out of there.

Tommy(TheStatPack): Will all 4 Hendricks cars make the chase next year?

David Newton : (3:43 PM ET ) Let me read my tea leaves. Heck, I don't know. I suspect Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson will because they always do. Casey Mears could, but he has to prove it. Earnhardt Jr. has been there before, but you never know how long it will take to adjust to new equipment. The cars will drive differently, and if it takes a while he could be on the outside looking in.

Tommy(TheStatPack): The Over/Under is set at 7...You pick the question

David Newton : (3:50 PM ET ) How many times Tony Stewart will hit somebody on pit road this week.

Jules(TheStatPack): How do teams or drivers pick car numbers?

David Newton : (3:52 PM ET ) They find which ones are available and then go to NASCAR and ask for the one they want. For some there is sentimental reason. For others they just take what feels good.

Jeff (Rochester NY): Best racing movie...?

David Newton : (3:52 PM ET ) "Stroker Ace.''

Jules(TheStatPack): How could you pick against "Days of Thunder"?

David Newton : (3:54 PM ET ) Haven't been able to watch the movie since Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman broke
up.

Jules(TheStatPack): If you were a driver, what number would you pick?

David Newton : (4:00 PM ET ) I'd pick the No. 12. My kids both wore it in baseball and I loved watching Bobby Allison in the No. 12 Coca Cola Chevy.

Tommy(TheStatPack): How good will the lightning be when Ryan Craig and Danny Boyle return?

Barry Melrose: (3:09 PM ET ) They miss those guys, no doubt. The score probably flattered them a bit. They're like a lot of teams in the East--kind of treading water right now. They can't afford to lose a player of Boyle's stature for much longer.

Tommy(TheStatPack): Hows the hand doing are you back to 100%?

Patrick Crayton: (1:15 PM ET ) The finger is fine. It hasn't stopped me from getting the job done.

Tommy(TheStatPack): Yvenson Bernard 1st or 2nd day pick?

Steve Muench: (2:07 PM ET ) I think he's good enough to go in the thrid round but his problems staying healthy will likley cause him to slip to the fourth or fifth round.

We had to go undercover for some strange reason on this one. Maybe we have developing situation where we are going to have to go undercover more

Jeremy Grey(Dubai, UAE): Could Big Baby Davis play his way into the starting lineup and have KG playing the 5?

David Thorpe: (12:57 PM ET ) You know, you may be right. We should watch how he and Perkins play early on.
