I cannot argue with this list of inductees for the first class for the NASCAR Hall of Fame.
I will post more about this when I get the time.

NFL already "Flexing" its muscle
Courtesy for Profootballtalk.com and NBC:
Vikings-Packers moves to 4:15 p.m. on November 1
Posted by Mike Florio on October 13, 2009 11:23 AM ET
The annual NFL flex schedule, with games potentially moving from Sunday afternoon to Sunday night on NBC (and vice-versa) and from early afternoon to late afternoon (and vice-versa) doesn't begin until November 22.But the NFL has pulled an early flip-flop of Sunday games, due ostensibly to the possibility of a World Series game being played in Philadelphia on November 1.So the Giants-Eagles game slides from 4:15 p.m. ET to 1:00 p.m. ET. In its place lands the Return of the Favre -- Vikings-Packers at Lambeau Field.Though Giants-Eagles is still a great game, it's not as if Eli Manning has talked about retiring for five years, retired, unretired, was spurned in his attempt to return to the Giants, was traded to a team out of the conference, played a year, retired again, was released by the team in the other conference, hinted at unretiring again to play for the Eagles, told the Eagles no after weeks of anticipation, changed his mind again after training camp closed, and then helped lead the Eagles to a 5-0 record.So i's a significant move for FOX, since it pulls the latter portion of the football game into prime time, giving FOX a great ratings boost for its evening lineup, which presumably includes the World Series. Since there will be no Sunday night game that week, and given that The Cleveland Show and Family Guy will be preempted by the World Series, I figure I'll just watch the damn baseball game. Until Mad Men starts.

SNF
Watching NBC's Sunday Night Football is an evening well spent. I love the highlights with Patrick/Olbermann and Tony Dungy's commentary. I think Costas is just a great host and of course Collinsworth and Al Michaels really work well together. This season has provided some good games already this season but.....
my favorite part this year is the opening theme with Faith Hill and that tremendous black dress/shirt and those thigh high boots!

Christopher Cross w/Michael McDonald
Here is great clip from Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Its Christopher Cross singing his hit "Ride Like the Wind" with special guest Michael Mcdonald. I really like these two and they sound great together. I hope a new generation of fans start enjoying this because Michael McDonald is a legend and Christopher Cross isnt so bad himself. I have never heard Christopher play guitar before like he did on this show and it sounds great.

#1 Song of the Week
This week our #1 song is "Total Eclipse of the Heart" by Bonnie Tyler. This went to #1 October 1st 1983 and stayed there for 4 consecutive weeks.
This was a song written by super producer/writer Jim Steinman. He had the idea for this song as part of a theme for a musical he was writing called Small Circle of Friends but it never got off the drawing board. He wrote "Eclipse" and the song "Faster Than the Speed of Night" out of the remains of that musical.
Steinman put together an all star band for the recording of "Eclipse" that included Max Weinberg of Bruce Springsteen's E Street Band and legendary Edgar Winter guitarist and vocalist Rick Derringer. He added Rory Dodd as the backing vocalist for "turn around....", Rory had sang backup on Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" album so he was a favorite of Steinman.
"Total Eclipse of the Heart" also went #1 in the U.K. and Bonnie Tyler was the first female to have an album , Faster Than the Speed of Night, debut at the top of the U.K. album charts.
After recording "Eclipse" and before Columbia records decided to release the song, Bonnie was asked to record "Holding Out For A Hero" for the soundtrack to Footloose. "Hero" was another Jim Steinman song it would crack the top 40 in 1985.
