Two Quick Things

I'm on a haphazard roadtrip through the upper midwest at the moment.  I've come across two very brief things that merit mention:

1. The latest issue of SI has an article by good old Selena Roberts about aging NASCAR driver Mark Martin.  I have no idea if it's a good article (what constitutes good NASCAR journalism anyways?), but the title is one of the silliest things I've read recently:

The Old Man And the Wheeee!

Wow.

2. Last night a friend and I went to the Brewers/Mets game - Miller Park's a nice place and I enjoy the culture of tailgating that surrounds it.  But, more importantly, my friend and I replicated the sign displayed in this video (0:21 in). While we were standing outside the park, educating the public on Wade Boggs's ability to drink sixty-four beers on a cross-country flight, a couple of malcontents chirped up that they'd heard Wade on Dan Patrick's radio show recently and that he stated that the number was forty-eight.  Can anyone out in the blogiverse corroborate this story?

Now, of course, it's also true that Wade might be trying to downplay his prowess a little bit - just like he does in the original PTI segment where he ludicrously claims that "It's nothing to be proud of".  But if he did renounce his accomplishment, I'd like to know it so I can respond to challenges like this.

Oh, geez, I don't know, like seventy?
