The Dallas Stars 2024-2025 Season Thread: Win Now, Talk Later
Yeah I kinda thought something like that too. That's the only thing I could come up with that made any sense.

So was I the only one who thought the Steel/Walman penalties should have been no penalty at all on either guy? Walman forced Steel into the goalie. Steel was trying to stop, but there was no way he was stopping with Walman riding him into the cage. But it didn't look to me like either player did anything illegal there. I don't know shit about fuck though. Yeah, pretty sweet.

Country Boy Breakfast, FTW. Love me some country ham and it's hard af to find. Any of y'all know where I can get some besides at CB, please lemme know. On a side note, back before my parents moved us from Tennessee to Texas, we used to eat at the first (and at that time the only) CB, in Lebanon, Tn, right outside of Nashville. It was a lot better back then. /csb Just doing a weave like the dotard.- Trump’s America
Yep. Me too. I referenced ol' Chauncey more in the context of how wrongly so many people reacted to him - perceiving his wisdom, or lack thereof.- Formula 1 2025
If I never see him again in F1, I'd love to see Danny in NASCAR, or better yet, V8SC. ETA: Indycar would be a pretty nice fit as well.- Trump’s America
Yeah I talked about this when it happened. Just another quick little peak behind the curtain into the brain of Mr. Art of the Deal, showing his true level of knowledge and what color the sky is in his world. Hint, for those who didn't figure it long ago like the rest of us ... he's a moron.- Formula 1 2025
He reminds me of Stoffel Vandoorne. Dude was good at the lower levels, but really just didn't bring anything in F1. Sucks in qualifying. Sucks just as much in the race. No race pace or racecraft. Not passing anyone or really even pressuring anyone. But worse than SV, and a bigger, more arrogant prick. When it's this bad, then I can see why they'd just move on.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread
Yeah I 'member thinking the same thing all last season.- 24/25 Astros Offseason thread

I was talking to my insurance rep in the Montgomery/Conroe area the other day. We live in Austin but they have a good rate. She's very competent in insurance stuff and really nice on the phone. Seems, or seemed like a good lady and not a complete idiot.We got to talking about all the wildfires after a fire question on my home coverage. Got off on a tangent about the fires they've been having around there. We'd never talked anything political before, and then she goes "I think ... what's the best way I can put this ... this stuff is all a result of the cloud seeding". Yeah, I know, makes less than zero sense. I was taken by surprise & my response was basically "Hah! Well, about that premium". It's just amazing. Conroe gonna Conroe. Don't miss that place even a little bit.- Formula 1 2025
Yep. Yesterday he spent the vast majority of the race ahead of only the Saubers, well behind Yuki in the RB, and finished~3s behind Hadjar who'd been held up by Doohan's dirty driving for the last 1/3 of the race. Lawson spent the whole race on the the opposite end of the grid from his teammate, finishing ~65s behind him. He only beat Yuki because of the front wing failure that ruined Yuki's race. The only rookies he beat were Bortoleto in the shitty Sauber and Doohan in the shitty Alpine, and only then after Doohan's 10s penalty was applied. While I still don't care for it, it's one thing to talk shit when you can back it up. It's quite another when you're underperforming massively (to put it in the kindest possible terms).- Formula 1 2025
I forgot about that. And China is also a brand new surface that's extremely smooth and grippy. Not a great sign.- Jon Stewart back at Daily Show
necrobump Holy shit ... Jon and Paul Rudd tonight riffing perineum jokes etc in one long stream of comic consciousness was utterly epic. Pure greatness.- Formula 1 2025
Yeah, dude's been a douche from the word go. I was telling my kid yesterday, on the one hand you have everyone feeling bad for Hadjar after his emotional reaction last week, and otoh nobody gaf if Lawson ever races again. There's a reason for that.- Formula 1 2025
Don't get me started about Pirelli's shitty, predictable tire choices that produce the most predictable, boring racing possible, with very limited strategy options. And yeah, the problem is not the track. There's been great racing there at times. It's the cars not being able to follow. They had made great progress on that a couple of years ago, and it produced great racing, but then the slow learners cried, and here we are. We can't have nice things.- Formula 1 2025
Yeah I'd love to see Palou get a seat. He splits time between Austin and Barcelona. And O'Ward is basically an SA boy, too.- Formula 1 2025
That turn complex is exceptionally good and always produces some of the best racing of any complex on the calendar. So good, and yeah, it also looks great on TV. The way Max took Leclerc to school there late in the race was borderline abusive lol. BTW that Doohan fuckery at the end on Hadjar was bullshit. Yes he got the 10s penalty, but he also should have been forced to give up the position, as he was holding up Hadjar badly and could only keep him behind with bullshit moves. He also got away with obviously moving under braking. Shoulda had two penalties and been forced to move over right away. If I were race control I'd be on the radio saying "Give the position to Hadjar and you can avoid penalty. If you don't give it up, you'll get the penalty and still have to give up the position".- Formula 1 2025
Yep. Either of those has always been a DISQ in F1, and always will be in a series where the margins are this small.The minimum weight is the minimum weight, etc. Skirt it and you've gained an illegal advantage. But my biggest takeaway from this weekend was: Damn, Charles and Alex's GFs ... holy shit. I know they're F1 drivers and all that, but well done, mates. Well done.- Formula 1 2025

It would be cool, for sure, but I think Sainz will stay put with Audi coming ... and Cadillac seems to be head over heels in love with Herta. For whatever reason. I don't get it. Dude is mediocre imho, even in IndyCar. They have far better options right under their noses in IndyCar imho.- Formula 1 2025
Yep. What I been sayin' all along. People are starting to see the pattern. Yep. They're building the fastest car they can possibly build, and generally a very oversteery or 'pointy' car is faster than a neutral or understeery car, all other things being equal. The less 'stable' the car is, the easier it is to get the car to 'rotate' or turn, and the more performance potential it generally has. The problem for some drivers is that they can't handle a lot of oversteer, even in F1. Meanwhile guys like Max, Lewis, Alonso, Schumi, Senna, and other elites can adapt to and handle pretty much anything the engineers can throw at em. Guys like that with virtually limitless windows always hear the complaints about the car 'being built for them'. The reality is that the engineers just build it to be as quick as possible and the elite drivers are just aliens who are able to handle it better, while their teammates with much smaller windows can't adapt so well. Then as the season progresses, the quicker driver always gets upgrades first, etc. Every team on the grid does the same thing. It sucks to be #2 on the team with any of the GOATs on the other side of the garage. Oh, and re: Checo's career, today I asked my buddy who knows F1 things (who knows the Slims and the Andrettis and is the guy who gave us the signed Checo prints the winter before Checo's first year in F1) whether Checo could end up at Cadillac. His answer was a simple 'yes'. So it sounds like he's at least under consideration. - Trump’s America
