The Sportress of Blogitude took Fanhouse columnist David Whitley to task for his column about Erin Andrews and Danica Patrick.

It’s a funny read.

Danica Patrick crashes in her NASCAR debut

Posted by Anthony Stalter (02/14/2010 @ 11:33 am)

Making her NASCAR debut on Saturday in the Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway, Danica Patrick ran outside of the top 20 for most of the event and then participated in a 12-car wreck to cap off a stellar day of racing.

From ESPN.com:

Patrick was hoping to learn as much as she could about a new style of racing. She ended up going to the school of hard knocks.
“It’s important to have realistic expectations,” Patrick said. “There’s going to be spikes in performance, I don’t doubt that. But there’s also going to be tough days. And today, I would say, was more of a tough day.”

After she finished sixth in last week’s ARCA event at Daytona, many people were encouraged about her debut. Obviously things didn’t go the way Patrick had hoped, but it’s only the first race of the season. She arguably has more pressure on her as well, given all the media attention she conjures up.

SI airbrushes out Danica Patrick’s tattoo in photo shoot

Posted by Anthony Stalter (02/17/2009 @ 11:46 am)

As SPORTSbyBROOKS.com points out, apparently Sports Illustrated wasn’t a big fan of Danica Patrick’s back tattoo, because the mag decided to airbrush it out of a recent photo shoot.

It seems that in the most recent issue of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED’s swimsuit issue, the folks at SI decided to give part-time race care driver and full-time media darling Danica Patrick the Allen Iverson treatment. The folks over at GUNAXIN were kind enough to point out that the tattoo you can see on the small of her back in the photo above, from Danica’s first SI shoot, has magically disappeared.
The question is why SPORTS ILLUSTRATED feels the need to edit the tattoo out all of a sudden, as it’s not like it’s grossly oversized or anything offensive. It’s just an American flag morphing into a checkered flag. Whatever the case is, I’m sure you guys will enjoy investigating.
