Here Comes Danica To NASCAR
The Daly Planet —
Finally the slow leak has let enough information out of the Danica Patrick issue so that ESPN's Ryan McGee could put together a story with some substance on this topic. Click here to read "Source: Danice Close To NASCAR Deal" now posted at ESPN.com. The story for us at TDP is not about here driving ability, bad commercials or use of her sex appeal to sell products.

When all else fails, deflect?
Planet-IRL —
... (a position you no doubt were pleased to help them get to) and you want to do all in your power to ensure that they stay down. By bringing up the “news” of Danica’s pending deal with JR Motorsports, you sought to deflect the attention away from IndyCar’s good news and make them talk about Danica. Only one problem there, my friends. THERE WAS NO DANICA NEWS!!!!! It’s completely made up!! How do I know this? Well, first of all, in the story that you spoon fed the schmucks over at ESPN ( http://sports.espn.go.com/rpm/nascar/news/story?id=4622687 ), how many quotes did it have from ...
