No luck indeed. Nate, You and I are old enough to know the damage that's being done... no offense by the age reference.  I look at all those older/retired NFL football players (hell, look at the retired boxers!!) hobling around way before they should. Was it worth it? Did you make so much money that you can suffer the rest of your life in pain and some how feel that is OK? I suffer and have huge pains... and no, I got not money from it. You couldn't give me enough money to make it OK to feel the way I do. You could certainly pay be a lot of money to NOT feel this way!  I just think Hopper's day has come and gone. He's had a good run although he never really had any noteworthy GP results. Certainly nothing worth what he has been through. If Monster would just drop him and go elsewhere it would add years to his life. Like Clint Eastwood said... "a man has to know his limitations."  Just saying. |

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

Yeah, he did do well last season. Not throwing rocks at his riding skill, just the damage he keeps doing to himself. Like a NFL quarterback that throws TDs all game long but keeps getting concussions. How much ouch do you want to put up with today and 20 years from now?

Might be too frightening, especially if he has nothing else on the other side of racing....

In other news, Hopkins also announced on Twitter that his wife/ex-wife/girlfriend Ashleigh is expecting their first child. Pretty sure that his issues extend outside of physical...lol |

OBVIOUSLY part of him is still functional though...which I guess bodes well for Ashleigh....since she'll have him almost captively.... |
