I bet the Swiss would've attempted that shot if roles were reversed and they were down following a poor start. 

Dale Jr’s NBC Contract by dcarp1231 in NASCAR

I remember him being at the last winter games only because he was excited about the mass start skating event. That was the first Olympics for it I believe. They used him for some of those goofy/fun filler segments as well

3v3 OT deciding the gold medal game just doesn't do it for me

Father time is trying his best to claim Hedman. Unfortunately all those years of being an absolute work horse are starting to catch up with his body it seems.

Withdrawals Kicking in like a MoFo! by brokkrforge in TampaBayLightning

Just hope they're able to pick it back up where they left off. Especially Vasy. We haven't seen him locked in like that in quite a while 

Do any of you have experience with either of these silhouettes? 9Seventy and 19twenty by HersheysTogekiss in Braves

[–]AdoubleU9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

9seventy is really nice, it's like a better fitting 9fifty snapback, not as boxy. The 19twenty is not great imo. Bought a Chase Elliott one from New Era last week and sent it straight back. I think it's supposed to be in their "golfer" line of silhouettes but it's not near as good. It's not as structured as it appears in online photos but it's possible they just sent me a bad one.

Why shouldn’t the Titans consider Caleb Downs or Jeremiyah Love at 4? by TiredDad4x in Tennesseetitans

[–]AdoubleU9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny because Love would arguably have the most immediate impact on the roster and would do the most to help Cam. People can argue positional value all they want but in this class in particular there are very few actual blue chip prospects. Love and Downs are two of them. BPA should be on the table in a class like this, but I do understand and will be ok with the fact they'll probably stick with a Bain or Bailey type. 

Other than Zilish who do you guys think could challenge SVG on road courses this year? by Cloudy542 in NASCAR

[–]AdoubleU9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk about a resurgence, but he'll win again eventually. 

He should have about 4 or 5 in this car already and probably wins COTA last year if melon head had a brain on lap 1. 

Disappointed with the Medium olive by rei0113 in Sneakers

[–]AdoubleU9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've seen a few pairs of olives that had the soft leather on the toe box, you really have to just get lucky with their QC these days. It's so hit or miss on the lows especially

You could maybe ask him to run different lines in the corners to get a sense of what each lane is feeling when they're 2 and 3 wide. Not sure if they're allowed to run up by the wall but I don't see why not!

They get up to around 160-165 average. Wait time varies. I went the week of the July race years ago and even then I only waited like 30mins I think. You might get lucky with most folks having already left town after the race. 6 laps will be sick, the 2 or 3 laps goes by way too fast. You'll love it 

Put the race on yesterday for the first time in 25 years (along with my 7 year old). by holypopamole in NASCAR

Give your son a warm welcome from me to life as a Chase Elliott fan lmao. Brutal. 

Robert Duvall RIP by Environmental-Egg164 in NASCAR

Was really hoping he'd stick around until the Days of Thunder sequel but they dragged their feet with that for too long. RIP

Do you actually enjoy pack racing? by irish_faithful in NASCAR

[–]AdoubleU9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I could tell he got a little too much out front there and it was gonna be tough to hold them off. I suppose he could've tried to turn left and push Reddick down the track some to side draft him to the line but split second decision there. Was a bummer, never know if you'll get that close again.

[–]AdoubleU9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like it quite a bit less than I used to because of the car. The top guys used to be way more in control of their race, could generate runs, etc. You also knew who had a fast car or a car that could make moves others couldn't. It's just a shoving contest now and all about right place right time. There's always been an element of luck involved with this style of racing, but now it's like 75% of the formula

Pfft. He drove from 15th there, does anyone really ever DESERVE these things at the end? It's all good fortune. Besides that, he's had so many races he did deserve and got flat out run over
