From fight to Fox: NASCAR rivals play nice as TV teammates
From fight to Fox: NASCAR rivals play nice as TV teammates
By MARK LONG AP Sports Writer
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Jeff Gordon and Clint Bowyer were once ready to throw down following an intentional crash at Phoenix Raceway in 2012. They eventually made up. These days, all is forgiven. But far from forgotten. Nearly nine years after Gordon, a four-time NASCAR champion, and Bowyer, the funniest guy in the garage, were involved in one of the most infamous on-track paybacks in NASCAR history. The former rivals are now good friends and eager to share the Fox broadcast booth in 2021. As they begin their first season on the same team, they’re not shying away from their past.

The longtime NFL coach Marty Schottenheimer has died. Family friend and former Kansas City Chiefs publicist Bob Moore says Schottenheimer died late Monday night in Charlotte, North Carolina. He was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s in 2014. He was moved to a hospice on Jan. 30. Schottenheimer won 200 regular-season games with four NFL teams thanks to his “Martyball” brand of smash-mouth football but regularly fell short in the playoffs. He was the eighth-winningest coach in NFL history. He went 200-126-1 in 21 seasons with the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington and San Diego Chargers. His success was rooted in “Martyball,” a conservative approach that featured a strong running game and tough defense. Marty Schotenheimer was 77.

Bob Barrickman Talks Whitehead Winning Super Bowl, Upcoming Playoff Basketball
(Matt Drzik/Beaver County Radio)
Namath. Law. Revis. Ditka. Dorsett. The names that have gone from playing football on the grass of Beaver County to hoisting the Lombardi Trophy is full of icons.
And you can now add Whitehead to that list.
Beaver County Radio sports director Bob Barrickman joined Matt Drzik on A.M. Beaver County on February 9, less than 24 hours after Central Valley graduate Jordan Whitehead started at safety for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in their 31-9 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 55.
“He’s a good kid and he’s a gentleman,” Barrickman said of Whitehead. “You just have to be happy for him.”
“What a story for Central Valley,” Barrickman added. “Couple of months ago they win the state championship in football, and now their favorite son–Jordan Whitehead–wins the Super Bowl.”
The ring is the first for Whitehead, but seventh for his teammate in quarterback Tom Brady. Five of Brady’s seven titles, according to Barrickman, were won alongside Beaver County teammates…along with Whitehead, one with Darrelle Revis (2015) and three with Ty Law (2002, 2004, 2005).
BASKETBALL TALK
Barrickman also talked about the high school basketball regular season nearing its close, with February 27 being the tentative date for the WPIAL Playoffs to begin. The playoffs are open-invitation due to the pandemic, but as one door opens…another closes.
“You have to win the WPIAL championship to move on to the state playoffs,” Barrickman told Matt Drzik. “So it puts more emphasis on the WPIAL playoffs, because it’s a single-elimination tournament.”
Bob also mentioned that much like the 2020 WPIAL football playoffs, higher seeds will be getting home playoff games with few exceptions for the basketball tournament.
“The only time that there will be a neutral-site game would be a WPIAL Championship game, and they haven’t decided where they’re gonna be yet,” Bob said. “It definitely will not be at the Petersen Events Center–in fact, for the first time in nearly 40 years, the finals will not be at a college or professional arena.”
