    Poster virtually never posts in a football thread.

    Poster has known posting tactics in CR. She disagrees= neg.

    Poster shows up to defend NYT, again, LOFL, but yeah, with 16 negs across a football thread in which pretty much nobody GAF about said tactics.

    Absolutely political.  The pedantic bullshit asking how it could be politics is just hilarious.    You see what you want to see.

    Literally nothing you listed is "politics"

    Sure, there is none unilaterally the best.  I like Wapo but can’t get it in my remote place.  So I do read the NYT every morning.  Yes, it’s lib in the New York sense, but it is not rife with false bullshit.   Not at all.

    I'm not saying it is, but you can't just credulously read something because it's in a particular paper. Saying it's in the NYT or WaPo doesn't mean anything

    And what national newspaper would you recommend?

    There is no singular paper, or media source for that matter. The only way to consume information is by following specific journalists who are credible, and constantly reevaluating their credibility. Every news source is going to have legitimate people as well as clowns

    Alright y'all proved it.  The NYT is a centrist rag.  

    That's why Penelope, the centrist and other surly ( self diagnosed)centrists are jumping out there to defend its centricity.

    Never stop.  Please.

    and to be fair, I'd put FoxNews way the fuck farther to the right.

    Not gonna answer my question huh

    Assuming you weren't in the thread, that's pretty much what happened.  Dumb but balanced article about UT and Bama fielding "the best teams money can buy" that goes into their respective use of NIL (as if 3 of the 4 teams they discussed aren't the bluest of bloods or anything).  Some poster says NYT sucks, not reading that (sensitive #1).  Then NYT stans come in football board negging posters (sensitive #2, 3,4)  Then back and forth (snowflakes abound on new years!!!!1!)    Second thread gets created about it days later to call other side snowflakes.  Fin. 

    The point is, that board has spoken loud and clear there is a super fucking thin line on what it will take accept in terms of political posting.  The football board feel CR about how 9.95 feels about the football board.   Notwelcomehere.forrest.gif

    To me, the football board is the most toxic on this whole website, which is why I avoid at all costs usually. I will admit the FSU drama and Alabama somehow getting in the playoff did suck me in a bit though.

     

    I certainly believe your characterization of the thread though.

    Don't understand why it's not considered that the particular article was pretty fair, and that the rag still is a piece of shit.  Unless, there's something else.  Fox news probably let's a milquetoast reading sports article out every now and then, don't believe it that would change anyone's views on the publication in general, or cause them to come and throw negs and stan for the publication in a game thread of all places.   
     

    I'm no big NYT fan so you don't need to convince me

    triggered is  bombing a rando thread in defense of the fucking NYT of all things.  Again, for no reason other than politics.

    Why don't you explain how it's politics, using something besides "it just is"

    I’m a Ti guy. I like welded pipes. And infinite fatigue life, and no corrosion.  Never ridden a carbon bike.

    I love a bit of variety myself, I have two steel, two aluminum and two carbon.

    Haven't bought a road bike in 20 years but it seems to me that frames are a commodity these days and the component level pretty determines the quality of the bike

    Depends. There's a lot that are basically all the same, but some that are materially different. BMC makes a significantly different frameset. And that's just speaking about carbon, not getting into steel, Ti etc..

    There's also the argument that the components have become much more similar too. Except SRAM. Fuck that shit.

    Anyone have experience with Canyon bikes?

    A carbon endurance bike with 105 groupset going for $2,200 which seems like a good deal.

    I've never had a Canyon personally, but have several friends who have. They are solid bikes, pretty good value because of their direct model. Also highly rated customer service I understand.

    Who makes it?  Looks sick!

    Thanks man, appreciate it.

     

    It was hand made by Mattia Paganotti, he is an Italian living in Spain. His brand is Legor Cicli. It took ages to get done, covid really did a number on supplies and stuff for him, but totally worth it. Amazing ride.

    I knew Rohan was crazy, but this is next level shit.  

     

    Yeah, with his history, it really makes it look bad. I'm sure it's all gonna be pored over to the nth degree.

    Calendar. TDF is easy. I’d like to watch more of the other races.

    GCN+ was a good option in the States but they shuttered it unfortunately. Personally, I use Eurosport, it's like 35 bucks a year. You will need to use a VPN though, so don't know how much tolerance you have for that. They carry basically every race on the planet though.

    The rumor is she was holding onto the car while he was driving like a party trick, and fell under. Just hearsay at the moment though

     

    So apparently this isn't the case, she was on the hood of the car for some reason.

    Where is the best place to watch these races?

     

    The cyclocross racing or the whole calendar?
