Pain heals, chicks dig scars, glory lasts forever. Also, my face is protruding from his neck.Careful, sir, you’re on thin ice.This guy truly does not care what anyone thinks. He’s not a great singer but man, effort is not holding him back.Tough start to the season for the artist formerly known as Seven Deuce Deuce. As with all seasons, though, it will get easier if you withstand the coming injuries.The biggest fallacy in sports.It would be easier to take cheap shots at Oakland sporting events here but there were a lot of people there Saturday night!Privateer life but remember, this could have been Jeremy McGrath 25 years ago. Times change, people change but Donk is always Donk.Two out of three ain’t bad.Google “The Chris Farley Show” from SNL.Much like a random Saturday night at Kappa Kappa Gamma, the highlight of my night is the fireball.Easily the coolest happening of the weekend was Deano searching out Marshawn Lynch for a selfie.The future Prime Minister of Canada, Jess Pettis. I kid but the guy is riding very well.Deano is usually all fun and games but everyone is dead serious when it’s time to be.This first turn was so sketchy. After three great first turn sections to start the season, this was a clean miss.If you listen closely, you can hear Daniel Blair screaming into Jacob Hayes’ wireless comm.McElrath is quietly lurking. He sent a shot across everyone’s bow at Anaheim but other than that, he’s just hanging around and waiting… don’t sleep on Shane.Coming in, everyone assumed Ferrandis was the #1 threat out of the blue tent. It’s not that we were wrong, it’s just that most didn’t see Nichols being this good.Tough night for RJ. He will need some help to get back into this thing.Four rounds in and AC92 is batting .500. It’s either been great or tough to watch.One thing I know is that if you’re French, there is a 100% chance of you wearing 100% products.Colt’s usage is much more fun.That’s a lot of orange up front. Look at the carnage on the outside of the track. First turns shouldn’t be like that.#7 in Oakland is usually tough to beat but AP had a tough night.Weird race for Kenny. I know he’s in shape but honestly, he looked tired at the end of the race. Looks can be deceiving, though.The first thing I noticed is how clean Webb is here. He’s photo shoot level clean.Bowers was on the board all day in qualifying and backed it up with a 12th. Anything is better than ghost riding the whip like last year.Cole left a good finish on the table at Oakland with a tip over. He is going to be on the podium soon.Eli has to be working through an injury or feeling the after-effects of an off season setback. That’s the only scenario I am willing to accept at this point.Weird deal. I haven’t seen many factory 450’s let go in a dry race.If Blake was 100% healthy, he might have won that main event Saturday.What a turnaround for Webb. Whether it’s the KTM, or Aldon Baker, or moving to Florida, or whatever other change you want to add, SOMETHING has changed the entire narrative.I am guessing Marv and BB4 told the camera guy to pound sand when he asked them to put up a 2 and 3 with their fingers.
