  1. I'm liking that RB a whole lot. IMHO if one of RB and RBR were going to go white, it shoulda been RBR, leaving RB free to continue running last year's gorgeous livery. The AM will be a dog again this year, but at least it's still gorgeous. The Merc & RBR are samey samey, but still look good. The rest are ass. McLaren's camo (or whatever they called it) livery would be better than what they're rolling out there nowadays. Haas & BWT wtf?
  2. Yep. If Trump were deliberately running a Russian game plan, what would he be doing differently? AFAIK, the answer would be: Nothing.
  3. Yep, get your Swastikar now, built by Elon Muskolini aka Adolf Twitler! Biggest selection evarrrr!
  4. ‘Dear King Donald the Magnificent’ – A Letter From One Troubled Monarch to Another King Charles congratulates Donald Trump on his “magnificent accomplishment” in restoring monarchical rule to America, imagines Alexandra Hall Hall https://bylinetimes.com/2025/02/18/donald-trump-king-charles-monarchy-oligarchy/
  5. Yeah, I'm just catching up & I'm surprised there hasn't been more talk here about Dotard yet again blaming Ukraine for "starting the war" with Russia, and now calling Zelensky "a dictator". Water is dry. Down is up. White is black. Bizarro World is in full effect. At least Zelensky is firing back. Good for him.
  6. This. Beat me to it. Or at least smaller cars that can follow one another closely. @faps said: Yeah my buddy is a friend of Leigh's and says he is as nice of a guy as you could ever hope to meet, but he doesn't like his commentary either. And yeah, going back to NBC's commercial breaks would be a beating. I'd just have to watch every race delayed so I could FF through them. Whoever gets the next contract, they'd probably be wise to seek out sponsors who would allow for ad-free races, at a minimum.
  7. https://x.com/andrewbensonf1/status/1891882038778552371
  8. If it's NBC, we'll be soooo fucked. So. Many. Commercials. They make everything damn near unwatchable. NBC ruins every sport they touch.
  9. Exactly. It doesn't have to be Pete doing it, but he'd be a logical choice given his ability to calmly paint a clear picture and relate topics in easily understandable language. The party needs a place people can go to for news and a focus. I'm not hung up on who they would choose to do that job. I'd prefer it to be one person, but they could even do it on some kind of rotating basis. The main thing, however, is that it needs to be done and could be a great tool imho.
  10. It was ok when we got it in 2023, but it wasn't worth the extra money, really. But this deal could end our access to F1TV if whomever wins the rights also negotiates the rights to all the added content that comes on F1TV. That's already the case in some countries.
  11. Yep. Sportscar racing in general, V8SC, and MotoGP are pretty, pretty, pretty good.
  12. Yeah but fuck Okie State. Karma's a bitch.
  13. Hey you won't get any argument from me on what F1 has become. This isn't an F1 vs NASCAR thing for me (and probably not for PoD either, though I won't presume to speak for him). To me, both F1 and NASCAR are fucking it all up. F1 could be very exciting, with great racing. So could NASCAR. But not on the roads they're going down. Este.
  14. Eh. Well. FML. Possibly. ESPN reportedly will not renew. Looks to be between NBC and Netflix. Similar to Sky a Netflix deal will likely bring more money but at the expense of number of viewers. https://sports.yahoo.com/report-espn-tells-formula-1-it-wont-renew-its-us-tv-deal-at-the-end-of-2025-134636618.html Also a piece in the Times that's glowing but minimized the fact F1 is still a pimple on Derka's ass in terms of ratings. It also mentions Amazon potentially in the mix. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6129337/2025/02/12/f1-tv-rights-netflix-espn-amazon-streaming/?campaign=12624894&source=athletic_targeted_email&userId=12505127 Please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please, please NOT NBC.
  15. So lol, how many cars actually crossed the finish line?
  16. Like Kyle Busch or not, he's right about Logano. Preece was fucking cleared for takeoff. Wow. That was not good. At all. A 3,300# car, looking like a leaf blowing in the wind. I say it every year. It's stupid. Even the announcers admitted they knew what was coming.
  17. Damn. That was a couple of big hits ...
  18. LOL. Fucking Logano. Fuck that guy.
  19. Whitney shoulda been the last ever Super Bowl National Anthem singer. They should just play that video, every year.
  20. Man, this is such a great idea ...
  21. Where you be? (Asking for a friend who's looking to maybe relocate)
  22. Oh FYI & nsiap, some location info, from another board.
  23. One word: "Haitia"
  24. Yeah, just more of the usual COTA revisionism. I guess they're still pissed at Supercars for pulling out before the money shot.
  25. Maybe I'm late to this idea, but I'm starting to think maybe the at-work portion of life experienced by the innies is a simulation and isn't being experienced physically, but rather takes place in their minds. With that in mind, maybe Mark's wife is actually dead IRL and that's why he can only see her at work. But who really knows ... Or if you wanna give it a really good twist ... given the perpetual winter and odd lighting in the outies' world, I wouldn't be totally surprised if the outie world is the simulation and the innies' office is actual reality.
