Okay, I’m riding to work this morning listening to a particular sports talk show (Not sure if I can say the name, but I’ll give you a hint… Both of the hosts first names are the same and the first letter begins with “M”.) and Jimmie Johnson, a NASCAR dude, was the special guest.

Johnson won his third consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup title (This is huge… Like only a hand full of people have done this.). This is an enormous feat for this exciting and dangerous racing sport. And, I was really taken aback by his humility about it all. Actually, it was quite refreshing to see… but, at the same time I was curious.

My curiosity centered around “why do it all again”. I know, I know… the money, the fame, the thrill of it all, but to me (someone who has a fast driving streak too… 90 all the way, baby! LOL! That’s hilarious because these guys would think my car was in park for as fast as they race. Crack up!), once I would’ve won the coveted championship I think I would be good… You see it all the time-for example, Jerome Bettis “The Bus” (You have to have seen him in action in order to get the nickname… Beast of a back.), the former running back for the Pittsburgh Steelers, played for over 12 years until he won that ring and guess what? After that, he retired. There are so many more just like The Bus, so I ask, why continue?

I’m not naïve to think that the competitive edge doesn’t just take over and a person believes that he or she can do it again (I understand that.). I guess I’m just referring to the overall danger of this particular sport, which in my opinion, is one of the most difficult ones out there.

Just a thought…
