    Damn, Novak pulls out of the French because of the knee injury.

    I just saw that. If I were he I would give a good shot at Wimbledon and the US Open and then retire. He has nothing to prove. These injuries are not going to stop. At 37-years old it's time.

  2. So we drove back to Germany the morning after the race. As I said before we did not attend this year. No need. But, on the drive we passed the AMG Safety Car hauler, an Aston hauler, an Alpine hauler and even better, a Porsche Motorsports hauler. I was not driving this stint and was sort of sleeping so I missed taking a picture of the AMG hauler but, I did get these.

    I must have pissed off a few driving gods because on our way out of Germany I took the first stint and had wicked rain all the way to Geneva. On the way back I took the second stint and as soon as we crossed the Rhine the heavens opened and the rain was awful. I only got about 15-20 minutes of good speed driving at about 125 mph. That's it. And then, when I drove back to Pittsburgh from Dulles again, rain, thankfully not as bad as the other two days.

    Once we got to Lake Geneva I asked the other three in the car if anyone wanted to turn left and head to Montreux for the night to see if we could "burn down the gamblin' house".

    That reference fell flat.

    I've grown very tired of Wilder. I rooted for him against Fury in their first bout but, he just turned into such an ass. His refusal to ever try and develop a jab really tarnishes his legacy. The level of competition was also completely forgettable. He's done and should stop because this is embarrassing. That dude he lost to weighed about 65-pounds more than Wilder, who came in at about 214 pounds.

    The first NBA basketball I remember watching and really paying attention to was the Portland’s NBA title v Philly. I did read the scores about Portland before that because Maurice Lucas was on that team and he was a Pittsburgh high school legend from the same school, Schenley, that sent DeJuan Blair to the Spurs for a spell.

    Dude was a legend. With today’s training and healthcare I, like many others, do believe he would have transitioned well to the game’s changes.

    Rest in Peace Big Man.

    This just in: Liberty Media's Greg Maffei is a walking, talking piece of shit.

    But we already knew that.

    The 'competitive' standard they're applying is only there to exclude everyone, since it's extremely unlikely that anyone will be competitive right out of the box. At least half the grid is uncompetitive right now, FFS. And it's not up to FOM to decide whether or not an entrant is 'competitive'. That's the FIA's job, and they already approved Andretti.

    Meanwhile ...
    DOJ to announce antitrust lawsuit against Live Nation as soon as Thursday:

    The Ticketmaster parent company also owns concert venues and promotes shows.

    Shit 'bout to get real for Liberty in the US. Fuck those asswipes.

     

    Good fuck ‘em!

    Eh, they can work out a deal.  It's only money.  A yellow and green car doesn't scream Senna to me, despite the obvious connection to the national colors of Brazil.  A yellow and green helmet, of course, would certainly hail back to Senna's time.

    But honestly to me the car looks more like a nod to Benetton and Michael Schumacher.

    My first thought as well.

    I’m with the German cousins at the beach in France again this week. Each night on the beach everyone in the circle gets to pick a song. Our neighbor Ralph picked Locomotive Breath. He was met with scorn. When it got to me I picked Stone Temple Pilots and was almost thrown out of the circle.

    I do remind them all that Germans love David Hasselhoff.

    My other two songs, Sweet Home Alabama & Sublime’s Santoria were better received.

  8. Parking in a European garage is usually a treat, in a bad way, and we thought this was pretty funny. A Ram in the parking garage in St. Tropez yesterday afternoon.

    60-37 2nd half for wolves...

    I checked espn.com at about 3:30 this morning (I’m in France at the moment) and the headline was Denver taking control. I wake up and Minnesota blew their doors off in the second half. Wow.

    Finally got around to Clerks III. A movie no one was asking for and shouldn’t have been made.

  11. It’s pretty damned cool to see T.J. McConnell playing so successfully.

    I watched him in high school at Chartiers Vally. His dad is a gym-rat coach. His aunt Suzy played at State Pen and played in the Olympics. Another aunt played at UVa. I went to Pitt , and was friends with, his uncle Mike, who is now a referee. The whole family is all basketball, all the time.

    Celtics playing no defense... Horford looks old.

    Boston has no rim protection

     

    He is old, 37- or 38-years old, I think.

    @PittsburghTiger is your son playing in today's match against Austin FCito?  If so, remind me of his number.  IIRC, he's a center back.

    My Godson. My German cousin's boy, Mikey Wentzel. He is #40, yes, a center back. That game is tomorrow, the 12th, I think 6 p.m. Austin time. He'll get back up with the big team later in the season. They have three older guys in front of him on that roster, and I think the one is making some good $$ so they won't throw him to the side at the moment.

    GM issue battle cry in Andretti F1 bid after 'outpouring' of support
    F1 has stirred a hornet's nest inside GM as it 'will not let Andretti fail' with its bid to get on the grid. How long will the fight continue?

    https://racingnews365.com/gm-issue-battle-cry-in-andretti-f1-bid-after-outpouring-of-support

    It just smacks of extreme greed, and lack of self awareness, for them to be fighting so hard to keep someone out of “the club”. So shortsighted.
