What do you think of Nextel Cup changing its name again?

To be honest, I enjoyed the days when it was called Winston Cup. Maybe it's because it takes me back to the good ole days. You know, the days of less rules and regulations.

It was called the Winston Cup from 1972-2003. It was all I ever knew growing up. In 2004, it became what we know today as the Nextel Cup Series.

I just was getting used to calling it Nextel Cup and now it is rumored that the name will be changed to NASCAR's Sprint Cup Series in 2008.

That would be the third name since 2003. I really don't think changing the name every couple of years is a very good idea. By nature, people don't like change. This isn't a very good way to attract new audience or keep the existing audience.

What's next: Verizon Wireless Cup? That would be a mouthful.

On a TOTALLY different topic, my pick this weekend is Boris Said.
