It’s tough enough to challenge prejudice when you’re just looking at one side of the equation. So what can you say about a guy who has chosen to bite off both sides of the problem in tackling NASCAR’s historic focus on white guys driving cars? Already a pioneering African American in the sport, Max Siegel is attempting the equivalent of walking while chewing gum as you execute an Olympic-level backflip off a balance beam perched on top of Mount Everest. He’s going to put NASCAR on Black Entertainment Television.

Last summer, Jerod Morris of Midwest Sports Fans wrote a blog post about Raul Ibanez of the Philadelphia Phillies and the excellent season he was putting together. Responding to jibes from a fellow fantasy-baseball GM, Morris tried to prove it was unfair to speculate that Ibanez’s numbers were the result of performance-enhancing drugs. He reluctantly concluded that he couldn’t single out other factors that would clear Ibanez of suspicion, and blamed Major League Baseball for the fact that such suspicions are now routine.

My pal Woody Paige was in the rudimentary stages of developing his ATH persona, which he would come to define memorably: “I am not an idiot, I just play one on TV.”
