Head to Head: Pro Joe Of Daytona

Taking all votes, the polls are open. We are looking for which rider you think whiffed it so hard at Daytona that a malnourished refugee from Darfur might have made it look a little bit better. The contenders for this one are shaping up for a pretty fierce match up.


First up is Brett Metcalfe. Ooh, tough break, big guy. He's one that I do usually like to watch. He's got game outdoors, but indoors hasn't really come together for Metty. At Daytona, he wadded up right in front of Canard, and once again my sense of hearing transcended the broadcast into Trey's helmet as I heard him shout "Fucking A, joey." Not even anything that Metcalfe did especially wrong, but you can't defend yourself when you fall and wrap up another rider's night in the process, unless you were making a pass on the last lap for the win. Then of course, on the same lap, Metcalfe had a crash that obliged me to literally say out loud "That was the biggest novice crash by a factory rider I've ever seen." He lands in the sand and apparently forgets that the gas is on the right because he sinks that motherfucker like a Somalian pirate dingy. Of course, Metcalfe may have been taking notes from his acclaimed best buddy, Damon J. Smith.


The challenger, or maybe he's the returning champ, is of course Mike Alessi. The letting Stewart by thing has already been covered. It was a Joe-ment for sure. I can see Roger just looking down, hands over his face, when that happened. But Mike was given the blue flag, of course, so maybe he's not the winner of this match up. But wait, let us not forget that in the heat race, he jammed the gate by a solid two seconds. Fro tries to come up with some sort of explanation because it's his job, but it's pretty simple to realize that if the pin jumped at all, about half the gate would have been stuck there like a bunch of dolphins in a Japanese fishing net. I don't have the faintest idea what happened to Alessi there, but I do know that it was C rider material.

Polls are closed because it was slowing shit down like a bitch.

Final Tally:
Brett Metcalfe - 29%
Mike Alessi - 71%
