they are smart

The only way that could have been better is if Sadler had caught fire and ended up in the infield.

UPDATE: He was fine, by the way, so it's OK to laugh. Actually, that makes it less funny.

Talk about the show must go on. "Hey, yeah, umm, Elliot slipped there. Might be dead as far as we know, but we got a show to wrap-up here. See y'all next week in Dover!"

Elliot, it is stage DIVING, not stage flopping.

Famous redneck last words; "Hey, watch this!".

Gotta respect the professionalism of the guy in the Knights jersey. His co-host just suffered a head injury in a sea of hillbillies, but the show must go on!!!!

Deadspin in the news... "They've got to be somewhere," says Will Leitch, editor of the sports blog Deadspin.com. "My guess is that they were confiscated by the police, before anybody on the boat had the Abu Ghraib idea of sending them back home. But eventually, stuff gets out." http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=hruby/0606...

It's okay to laugh even if he wasn't fine.

Imagine sitting thru a lightening storm only to get squished by some redneck doing a stage dive.

That's just really Sad...ler.

Considering he slipped, does that mean Sadler was only gittin-r-halfway-done?

A NASCAR driver only suffered an apparent "head injury." Not a vital organ to those necks, so nothing to worry about there. Worst. Stage. Dive. Ever.

He has the worst hops I've ever seen, only comparable to the Mooninites.

Being from NC, I'm allowed to say this. Its funny how rednecks from NC are unwilling to give up on a jersey, even if the player no longer plays for the team anymore. Notice the guy in the blue Mushin Muhmmed #87 jersey on the stage. I guarantee this guy will be wearing it for another 3 years, (even though there is a different player wearing #87 now), much like the famous Larry Johnson pinstripe Hornets jersey that is still known to make an appearance from time to time.

Yeah wow... ever hear of going to commercial?

The sound of the excitement being sucked from the crowd is reason enough to watch the clip. The trasition from "crazy cheering crowd" to "we may have incited our hero to impale himself" actually almost sounds like tires screeching.

I want to see Chris Myers stagedive from the Hollywood Hotel.

The HMS Beagle has no response

Shit, there goes one of the Bobcats' 5 fans...

Rednecks don't need to hear your fancy "theories" about "gravity" and "collisions." Was Iggy Pop the consultant on that dive?

Too bad there isn't a better shot of him hitting the ground. And people say natural selection isn't real.

Having a lead foot is good for driving fast, but not for jumping far. That was lame, I know.

Did they have a Foley Artist on hand? Those sound effects were a little too good. I think I actually heard a splat.

Sums up the whole reason for You Tube--chronicling the doings of white trash.

I love Bush voters.

It isn't possible not to laugh. I nominate this as the quintessential explanation of NASCAR for the uninitiated.

Oh, you know there's at least one or two better shots of it, buried somewhere in the catacombs underneath the Speed Network's headquarters. The thing is though, did he really slip or did the crowd simply part when he jumped? Because it looks to me like several Jeff Gordon fans just moved out of the way and watched him hit the pavement.

Who said white men can't jump?

Looks like a blue collar tour sketch gone bad.

Looks like a blue collar tour sketch gone bad. You mean there is another way they can go?

Ha ha, the obvious spot didn't catch him. Please leave stage diving to the professionals, back in 1990.

I celebrate any activity that could end in the removal of one more redneck from the gene pool.

Idiots.

"Who said white men can't jump?" wesley snipes or were you being rhetorical?

This happened a month ago and its still funny as hell.
