Sometimes, readers wish I would just go away.
Hey, I get it. I tend to have strong opinions, and those can be annoying to people — especially when an irritating tweet or series of tweets pop into their timeline and offers a viewpoint different than their own.
So when that happens, people occasionally let me know they wish I’d just go cover something else.
It usually makes me chuckle. So for fun, here’s a sampling of suggestions I’ve received over the years:
@JeffGordonWeb @jeff_gluck. Gluck maybe you need to start covering badminton or tennis and leave NASCAR “RACING” alone.

@jeff_gluck maybe you need to write about ballet. Twit — ChristineK. (@CKerstulovich) November 1, 2015
@jeff_gluck Very whiny tonight. Maybe you should be covering Oprah’s network. — Bryan Tucker (@DancesWithWood) April 10, 2016
@jeff_gluck Seriously, if you can’t handle it go cover rhythmic gymnastics. — Ken Gentry (@kenpgentry) May 2, 2016
@SiriusXMNASCAR @Noble_Jim I think Jeff Gluck, Brant James and Dustin long need to go cover golf leave NASCAR alone

@jeff_gluck Your tiresome..go cover some tennis — Kat (@CathyMcGinnis11) November 6, 2015
@jeff_gluck @TomInRal you would. You and @nateryan should cover figure skating as much as you DON’T know about NASCAR. #chasesucks — Don (@TC_HATES_BOATS) November 14, 2014
Damn @jeff_gluck, stop bitching already! It’s Every. Damn. Weekend. Enjoy the RACING or go cover baseball or fishing. Something mellow. — Beki Scarbrough (@RASCAR_19) May 23, 2011
C’mon @jeff_gluck get your facts straight. Better go cover @theorangecone that’s more your speed. #highschooljournalismatbest

@jeff_gluck it’s racing.. It’s entertainment!! Go cover politics if that bugs you.. WHO CARES? — JW (@buschwins) July 25, 2010
@jeff_gluck ..and we really dislike you 🙂 go cover some other sport if all you’re gonna do is talk shit about drivers. — Gina (@ginakel14) November 9, 2009
Time to move on to covering figure skating, Jeffrey. You’ve had a good run.
