Sick of people ripping on Smoke
So Tony has a temper, so does everybody else. He's opinionated. He's honest. He's a bit aggressive on the track and he gets sick of media sticking their damn microphones in his face when he gets out of his car. The man is claustrophobic, give him a break.
I want to see one of these buttheads in the media do what Tony does with the pressure on him he has. He's a man for crying out loud! He is not perfect.
If any man has ever had a heart it is Tony Stewart! Bad boy my ass. He donates money to all sorts of causes. He takes his time with each fan when he can. His heart is broken over the loss of others loved ones. He loans out his chopper and his plane to friends for funerals, emergencies and weddings. He gives and he gives but all people want to see is the side of Tony that embarasses even him at times.
Give the man a break! He's talented. He can drive anything with wheels on it and win. He's won so many damn championships in so many different kinds of cars it's insane. He deserves some respect for the things he does. So you're not a fan! Keep your mouth shut. Wear his shoes for a day and see if you can hold your head high at the end of the day.
I am just fed up. He is not gay. He is not an asshole nor is he the other versions of that word I hear so often. He wears his heart on his sleeve but I think he has finally realized that all you people want to do is stomp it for him. Shoot me if I am wrong but he is a man and he will make mistakes. He puts his pants on one leg at a time just like everbody else. He loves what he does.
The media needs to back off a bit and let Smoke breathe. The fans who don't like Tony need to take a better look at the man. I am ready to kick some serious butt. One more person approaches me to inform me that my jacket or my tshirt or my hat shows I am stupid because of Tony I am going to go absolutely nuts. Psycho ward here I come because I cannot handle people putting this man down anymore.
I am a Tony Stewart fan. I will always be a fan, even if he runs a reporter over with his stock car. I have great respect for him. He is my hero. If you don't like that, that is not my damn problem. Give me some respect and Tony some and keep your stinking mouth shut. I have stopped slamming Gordon and the Busch brothers out of respect. Why can't everybody else?
Oh that's right because it's easier to put someone else down than it is to look at your own faults as an individual. Get a life!
PING!
Hoo boy!
Did he win yesterday?
Ok.
WTH?
Priorities.
WWTSD?
Burn in Heck, Tony Stewart!! (Vanity, MAJOR arrogant jerk alert!!)

Okay, this is a "friend of a friend" story, but I have it on very good authority that this is true, otherwise I wouldn't post it here.
Said friend is a firefighter for the Jacksonville Fire Department in Jacksonville, FL, but during the races at Daytona some of them are sent down there to help out.
Sometimes while there, during breaks they get from ebing on duty, they get their firefighter jackets signed by the drivers, etc.
Actually, that's a pretty good reason to become a Stewart fan if you weren't one before.
Somebody needs a nap.
I thought Jeff Gordon was the designated NASCAR whipping boy.
I mean, that's a win-win, right?
So you joined Free Republic to post rants about Tony Stewart?
I think you may be on the wrong web site.
Some of us don't really care as much for the child types!
Trolling this morning, are we?
Oh, welcome to FreeRepublic!
a little too much smoke maybe?
Who is Tony Stewart?
After reading this rant, I'm beginning to believe second-hand Smoke may be bad for your health.
No, 37th place after getting involved in another "Tony Stewart is innocent" accident!
Stewart would not get out of the way of a faster car that was 2 laps down. Instead, Stewart decided to play bumper cars with Newman.
Stewart's story is that Newman held up another driver earlier in the race.
I guess we should all allow Tony to officiate the races from the track.
