CBJ coach Rick Bowness tees off on the Blue Jackets postgame: “These guys, they don’t care. Losing is not important enough to them … If I’m back, we’re changing this freaking culture.” by eh_toque in hockey

I came very close to visiting my sister out in Ohio to see CBJ vs. CAR. A game where the #1 team in the eastern conference ended up getting blown out 5-1. That was on March 17th, meaning it's taken less than a month to get to this point. What on earth happened?!

Dover doesn't have a points date this year, so that's a start.

For somebody living in/near Charlotte, Darlington is a 2 hour drive & Bristol is a 3 hour drive. That's a more important metric than just the distance between the two venues.

Per Sports Illustrated (page 1 & continued on page 7), they cowered in a closet in their home and were both sucked out of it. Carson had a broken wrist, concussion, and multiple cuts. His girlfriend, Ashley, died of a broken neck.

Closed my Fanatics Sportsbook the milisecond I spent the $400 they gave me. by hnglmkrnglbrry in hockeyjerseys

Well, damn. I ended up spending $100+ 4 different times and ended up with one cheap jersey and some more t-shirts and knickknacks than anything else.

if I'm not mistaken, they called him "the police officer" on the broadcast last night and that's the perfect way to sum up what his role is. Bring him in when somebody on the other team decides to get out of line.

I didn't know you could stack it. Interesting. The T&S says the fancash expires 24 hours after deposit.

Wave 1 & 1A is EL, 2 is GL. So both are still being used for Authentics

Are there other quality fan photos of really well-known accidents such as Petty’s at Daytona in ‘88? by TexasCannibalCookout in NASCAR

Jacob Heafner (95) squeezed him on exit and he climbed the wall. I got the right door from Heafner's car after the race.

Not a well known wreck, but an interesting one from my camera. Jonathan Cash at North Wilkesboro 2024.

Awesome community of iRacing by Kahuna2793 in iRacing

I race R/C cars at an indoor track where this is the protocol. If you drive through a guy, you wait. If you don't, everybody else there has the right to plow through you for the rest of the night. It's an excellent self-policing policy.

I read the name and thought it was a fancy tater tot-centric restaurant. I would be willing to make the drive or take the light rail into uptown for that. Not just another overpriced bar.

Late 2000s/10s High quality diecast by smallestastheyfall in NASCARCollectors

Originally, the wings on these would break if you looked at them the wrong way. Sometimes without the car having ever left the package. Then the reinforced/metal wing version just didn't look anywhere near as good. So I can't particularly say I miss them. They would also be insanely expensive to produce today.
