A PUNCHABLE FACE. Submitted by Hardscrabble Farmer “I don’t want to actually have to tell people to take care of other people, or to at least not put them in harms way, but we have this environment now where pride and ignorance lets you justify anything.”. OWNER OF A PUNCHABLE FACE: Jim “Gym” Jordan OCCUPATION: SHOUTER WHO SHOUTS. Also, GOP lawmaker and jacket-phobe. THE FACE: To paraphrase Paul Simon, Jordan has the face of a man who “sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest.” CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY: For a man who has no inside voice he sure shouts a lot when he is inside.

During his time in the world of motorsports, Dale Earnhardt Jr. has seen and done just about everything imaginable. That’s allowed him to build up quite the reserve of knowledge when it comes to racing. He even knows a thing or two, it seems, about punchable faces.
During a 2017 episode of his podcast, Dale Earnhardt Jr. decided he wasn’t going to pull any punches and addressed that topic directly. In a surprising twist, Junior’s pick for ‘the Most Punchable Face in NASCAR’ was actually a long-time friend and teammate.

From a cynical perspective, you could argue that Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s NASCAR career wouldn’t have been the same without his iconic last name. While being an Earnhardt certainly helped in the popularity department, Junior still turned into quite the success.
While he didn’t always plan on racing—he actually earned an automotive degree and was on his way to becoming a mechanic—Dale Jr. eventually realized that climbing behind the wheel gave him and his father something to share. After that, though, his talent took over.
Earnhardt Jr. joined the Busch Series in 1996; two years later, he stepped up to the Cup Series. While his time on the stock car circuit wasn’t perfect, he still put together quite the career.
In total, Dale Jr. won 50 races across the Cup Series and what’s currently called the Xfinity Series, took the top spot at two Daytona 500s, and was a 15-time winner of NASCAR’s Most Popular Driver title. He also built up an estimated $300 million fortune along the way, which isn’t too shabby either.

In the world of sports media, there are a few stock questions that every athlete hears over and over again. Anything about a ‘punchable face,’ however, is coming out of left field.
As explained by For the Win, reporter Jeff Gluck ended an interview with Dale Earnhardt Jr. by asking the driver for a question he should pose to the next interviewee. Not only did Junior suggest, “Who has the most punchable face in NASCAR?” but he also answered himself.
“A punchable face, in my opinion — and I think you might have a little bit different opinion because we’ve talked about this — a punchable face, to me, is just a face you look at, and you want to really punch it,” Earnhardt Jr. explained on his podcast. “You might like the person, you might like the guy. So my punchable face is probably TJ Majors.”
Who is TJ Majors, and how does he know Dale Jr.?

Even if you’re a hardcore NASCAR fan, TJ Majors might not be a name you’re familiar with. He’s still spent plenty of time around both the race track and Dale Earnhardt Jr., though.
As laid out on Motorsport.com, “Majors, who also used to race himself, worked as the spotter for Dale Earnhardt Jr. for over 15 years before Earnhardt retired at the end of last season, opening the door for Majors to join [Joey] Logano in 2018.”
As you might imagine, Majors formed quite the bond with Junior over the years. The two men are close friends, even if Earnhardt told the world that his former spotter has a pretty punchable face.
“I don’t want to hurt TJ. I like him — (he’s) one of my best friends, he was the best man in my wedding,” Dale Jr. clarified. “But man, wouldn’t you just like to sock that face one time? Wouldn’t you?”
Being friends with someone like Dale Earnhardt Jr. probably comes with some serious perks. Sometimes, though, it seems like there’s also the risk of taking a punch.
Description
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - In these hilarious essays, the Saturday Night Live head writer and Weekend Update co-anchor learns how to take a beating. 'I always wanted to punch his face before I read this book. Now I just want to kick him in the balls.'--Larry David NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY Cosmopolitan - Vulture - ParadeIf there's one trait that makes someone well suited to comedy, it's being able to take a punch--metaphorically and, occasionally, physically. From growing up in a family of firefighters on Staten Island to commuting three hours a day to high school and 'seeing the sights' (like watching a Russian woman throw a stroller off the back of a ferry), to attending Harvard while Facebook was created, Jost shares how he has navigated the world like a slightly smarter Forrest Gump. You'll also discover things about Jost that will surprise and confuse you, like how Jimmy Buffett saved his life, how Czech teenagers attacked him with potato salad, how an insect laid eggs inside his legs, and how he competed in a twenty-five-man match at WrestleMania (and almost won). You'll go behind the scenes at SNL and Weekend Update (where he's written some of the most memorable sketches and jokes of the past fifteen years). And you'll experience the life of a touring stand-up comedian--from performing in rural college cafeterias at noon to opening for Dave Chappelle at Radio City Music Hall. For every accomplishment (hosting the Emmys), there is a setback (hosting the Emmys). And for every absurd moment (watching paramedics give CPR to a raccoon), there is an honest, emotional one (recounting his mother's experience on the scene of the Twin Towers' collapse on 9/11). Told with a healthy dose of self-deprecation, A Very Punchable Face reveals the brilliant mind behind some of the dumbest sketches on television, and lays bare the heart and humor of a hardworking guy--with a face you can't help but want to punch.

'An inspiring story that reminds us that if you are born with looks and talent, you can still make it.'--Conan O'Brien'I think this book is fantastic. I haven't read a single word of it, but it's got everything I want in a book--a front, a back, a good spine. And it's got some heft. Whoever wrote this book knew what she was doing. Well done.'--Michael Che
