  1. Question for the Legal Eagles:  Assuming Jones, and his company, are hit with a gigantic multimillion dollar judgement that he obviously can't pay, can the plantiffs take his studio equipment so that he can't broadcast anymore?  And/or that he would not be able to pay anyone on his show, because that money should be going to the plaintiffs? Is there a way that his show would be reduced to him ranting into his phone?

    Appreciate the recognition for the guy, but damn they are hyping the heck outta this guy so much that even if he performs better this year, it will seem like a disappointment.

    Should the school/program not acknowledge when it's players are on these watch lists?  

  3. Game being over at 1015 and to your car by 1045 isn't exactly a selling point for me. 😂😂😂  I'll never understand any sporting event starting past 7pm.  It is what it is and still better than the 9pm start of the Grenada match.  So far the best access I've found is parking near Braker/Kramer and riding bikes over.  The bike valet is ridiculously easy and you avoid all the traffic.

    Appreciate the help!

    You're talking about what could be the biggest MLS game of the season. Of course it's going to be expensive. 

    Fair enough - I was looking at the game because the date worked for me more than anything.  Next game vs Portland prices are much more reasonable, but still pretty steep for an 8:00 start on a weeknight.  Those late starts are the suck.

  5. Do ticket prices drop closer to match day at all?  Looking to hit up my 1st AFC game and looking at LAFC on 8/26...lowest ticket price is $120 before fees??  Both USMNT matches vs Jamaica and Grenada were nowhere near that.  

  6. Does that mean Honda is 100% out of F1 now?  I'm not feeling sorry for multibillion dollar international corporations, but I definitely have a soft spot for Honda powerplants in Formula 1.  Nostalgia and whatnot.

    Given that Porsche is my favorite car manufacturer ever, I might have to go all in on RBR.  Checo, of course, but still...

  7. Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto is sure the team made the correct decision to pit Carlos Sainz Jnr in the closing stages of the French Grand Prix, even though he had just moved into third place.

    Sainz had risen from 19th on the grid to pass Sergio Perez for third place by the 41st lap of 53. He had a five-second time penalty to serve after he was unsafely released in front of Alexander Albon’s Williams during his pit stop.

    That, and concern over the life of his medium compound tyres, led Ferrari to bring him in for a second pit stop, Binotto explained. Radio messages between Sainz and Ferrari indicated some indecision over whether or not to pit. Sainz later said “I don’t understand why we boxed, we would have pulled away”.

    However Binotto was certain the team made the right call. “The choice we made was the proper and the right one,” he told RaceFans and other media after the race.

    “I think that Carlos from the cockpit, from the heat, does not have all the information so for him was difficult to judge. But no doubt that I think we made the right choice.

    “At first we were trying to extend the stint as much as possible to have the best freedom, the tyre life, to make sure we are not overshooting any decisions in terms of tyre life.

    “As soon as we got all the information which were required, we realised that there was not sufficient tyre life to go to the end of the race. As simple as that. To stay out would have been risk in terms of safety and reliability in terms of tyre life. So we had to stop.

    “More than that I think that the pace of Carlos would not have been sufficient to open the gap more than five seconds to Perez and Russell to cover the five-second penalty. So it was important, it was right to stop.

    “By doing that we had the fastest lap of the race, which still was a point, important points for the team and for Carlos. So once again, I think what we did was a good choice, waiting the right moment, having all the data and making the proper [call].”
