| The groom! |
The tabloid’s online arm,
NationalEnquirer.com, reports the decision reportedly came after longtime girlfriend Amy Reimann gave Earnhardt
"a blistering ultimatum," saying he needed to either marry her, or
lose her. “Amy told Dale she wasn't going to be kept waiting in the
wings forever,” quoted the Enquirer from an unidentified “friend” of the couple.
“She told him she wants to get married after the current racing season is over
and have a baby next year. There was no way Dale could say no, since he can’t
stand the thought of losing her.”
You can view the online Enquirer article in its entirety HERE. And hey, it’s on the internet, so it MUST be right!
yea right he does not strike me as a person that would take an ultimatum.
ReplyDeleteI have to say think its very unprofessional of Moody to even blog about an enquirer article. Lost some credibility in my book.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear about the tragic death of your sense of humor. My condolences to the family. Sheesh....
DeleteSays the anonymous poster....
DeleteAgreed Anon. And no Dave, I have not lost my sense of humor. Nor does my calendar read April 1. Much like your caller around 4:40 Weds, I come here and listen to you to learn more about NASCAR from a reporter that has covered the sport for what over 30 years? Not to read the garbage I see at the grocery checkout.
DeleteIt is never a good day when a journalist uses that rag for a story.

Robert, apparently I need to point out a few subtle points you missed yesterday. I read the entire Enquirer article in my "Ted Baxter" voice, laughing at it all the way. We also said -- about a dozen times for people unable to catch it the first 11 times -- that NOBODY believes anything they read in the Enquirer!
DeleteHere are a few other important bits of info to help you get through your day:
1. "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" is not real. They make those news stories up for comedic effect.
2. "The Colbert Report" is not real. They also manufacture news stories for comedic effect.
3. Saturday Night Live's "Weekend Update" segments are not real. They make that stuff up for comedic effect.
Hope this helps you take the world a little less seriously in the future.
Thanks Dave.
DeleteOne point, as much as I'd like to, I can't listen to your whole show. In this case I did not hear you read it on air, so I did not know of the Ted Knight voice. So for those of us that come here to read news, the lack of a sarcasm font can lead to misunderstanding. Not saying I'm innocent of being fooled, but as someone who has been reading your blog for a while I do not recall you posting stories as a joke.
That is the nuance you're overlooking.
My mistake for not considering the fact it all a joke, but this is not the Onion either.
So hopefully when you're saying "sheesh" while reading this, you'll understand why some of us missed the joke.

Understood, Robert, thank you. I thought the "And hey, it’s on the internet, so it MUST be right!" disclaimer would make it clear that we weren't giving the article any credence. But if it didn't, I apologize. Thanks for being a daily visitor, we value you very much.
DeleteMoody, I think I know why you married a nurse now. After 4 hours + a day responding to OCD/anal retentive/too serious folks like Robert, I feel sure your nurse wife has to administer that stuff Michael Jackson was taking in order for you to get to sleep. It is amazing to me that, in spite of us all, you are ALWAYS cordial, understanding and always close your comments with "we value you very much". Thanks for being so professional even though I know sometimes you feel like "going off" on most of us. It is apparent you do really like your job. We also value you very much.
DeleteI say it's about time! Even though deep in my heart I knew he was waiting for me (hahaha) I think his happiness off the track has been helpful for him on the track! We need a Dale JR Junior!!
ReplyDeleteMoody as always, great job. It is a little scary though, wasn't the Enquirer the one that broke the news about Dale and Amy being a couple???
ReplyDeletePeople in the NASCAR garage knew about Amy long before the Enquirer story, Mary. She's a lovely young lady, and she and Dale seem very happy together. That's all anyone really cares about.
DeleteRiver levels across America and Canada rose quite high today, as Dale Jr. fans read of his upcoming nuptials. Only to have family members discover that they missed the words "National Enquirer reports......". And they thought everything you read on the internet was true. Poor souls. LOL.
ReplyDeleteThanks Dave that little comment made Mt. Dew shoot out my nose. Few people didn't get the joke I see. Course I don't get my news from the Enquirer either. I hope you have a great day Godfather.

I think it's funny folks are arguing over a feel good story. I guess turnips are replacing brains at a faster pace than normal.
ReplyDeleteAs a truck driver I listen to your show Daily, and love that you and Angie provide a forum for listeners to call and voice their opinions about NASCAR, but after listening to some of your listeners ideas, I need an aspirin the size of a Hockey Puck. I can only imagine the size aspirin you need after the show. We all know Angie has her Wine to calm her nerves.
