Back in 1978 Texas Instruments came out with the ingenious toy call the Speak-N-Spell. Now one make be asking just what good would a Nascar Crew Chief do with such a child's toy, but seeing Elliott Sadler go through crew chief after crew chief, maybe a different approach might be needed and Texas Instruments might be able to help. Or even Best Buy for that matter.We have come to know (and some love) what is now being called 'Sadlereese' . 'Sadlereese' is the common but unique southern draw and accent of the driver of the 19 car. But maybe the problems Sadler has had the past 4 or so years is not that the CC is not listening to Sadler's feedback, but that can't 'hear' it. Remember the great words of Sidney Dean in "White Men Can't Jump"?
"Look man, Your can listen to Jimi but you can't hear him. There's a difference man. Just because your listening to him doesn't mean you're hearing him."
RodneyChilders, here is a quick reference or cheat sheet might help out with the 19 team's communication: or in 'Sadlereese' - commuunikayshun

Ya know! As much as you think Spotterman hates you, you guys would probably would make great friends. You both have the same tastes in TV shows, Movies, and stuff. I bet you two even drink the same beer now in then. But what do I know!
The only question is where are the Stucci brothers when ya need them?
I can handle the "Hillbilly Speak".
If only ESad would drive better...
Something or somebody is always wrong, but never him.
It must be really hard to always be perfect. But then, he has "Spotterman" to remind him of how wonderful life is.......
Hey, to be fair, spotterman never once told Elliott, nor did Elliott ask about the UNC/Clemson game during the race...GO TARHEELS!!!!

So you're saying everyone but Rodney is able to understand Elliott? I doubt Rodney would appreciate you calling him stupid.
Somebody needs their own Speak and Spell cause they missed the past 4 or so years comment.
I bet you can't hear Jimmy either.
Gotta love when the plaid comes to rescue. Glass houses, glass houses and those Best Buy Chronicles.
So you're saying everyone but Rodney is able to understand Elliott? I doubt Rodney would appreciate you calling him stupid.
No, but think how much more success all of Elliott's previous crew chiefs MIGHT have had if they had this handy little Speak n Say...
Dude, did you proof the non-Sadlerese section of your blog before posting? Don't think I've ever seen the spelling be so bad! LOL
I never realized how much Sadler sounds like Cleveland Brown from "The Family Guy". Maybe Elliott is moonlighting doing voice-overs. Funny stuff, man.
Once when Sadler was asked what he does on his weekends off in the Cup series,Elliott said he gets lazy but he pronounced "lazy" like "layuhzy". I'm sure Sadler and Waahd Buhton(Ward Burton) understand each other well,though Ward never whines and is a class act all the way.
