folks are free to say that kezelowski is too aggressive, too arrogant, too whatever. but kezelowski doesn't take it off the track the way edwards has over the years. the kenseth clip shown here astounded me when i saw it live: it was at least 15 minutes AFTER the race ended, edwards was in street clothes and he interrupted an on-camera interview to engage with kenseth. did he not recognize bob dilner standing there w/a camera crew and mic? did he think they would stop filming when he walked up? same for the harvick incident in n'wide, except this time it was still photographers who caught the moment.

if nothing else, for someone who does SO well in front of the camera and in the announcer role, edwards allows his anger to overtake him and blind him to the impact of having his actions immedaitely recorded. hard to "make nice" after folks have seen his actions.

i'm ok with drivers beating and banging on the track and i'm ok with a push/shovel/fist fight immediately after the race. what concerns me with edwards is his apparent inability to cool down and his inclination to immediately go for the physical attack. when we talk about racers solving disputes "back in the day" with beating on each other, we're reminiscing about actions immedaitely after the race is over and the drivers climb out. that's NOT what edwards has done, neither in the harvick, kenseth or earnhardt jr episodes nor in the kezelowski episode.

sorry, carl: the "mr nice guy" image hasn't worked for me since the kenseth incident.
