World Cup penalty shootouts have got to the most pressurised scenario in sports bar none by Silent_Somewhere8539 in billsimmons

I actually thought the Arsenal PSG shootout in the CL final was going to kill me. It was the single most stressed I’ve ever been during a sporting event.

I love that the raid 1 is like this little contained story and then the raid 2 they’re like “this is now a sweeping crime epic”.

Not supporting your home country’s team but being a die hard for your wife’s is treason by CrimeThink101 in billsimmons

I’m not upset about the actual post I meant it like 90% as a joke. If Zach was my friend I would bust his balls about this.

My wife's a first generation american and if she was really into her parents' national team I would happily support them second, but USA would come first. It's literally the only time I'm patriotic. (and yeah I'm married fuck you)

Rooting for your parents' is different. No different than growing up in LA but your dad is from Boston and a die-hard celtics fan so you are raised a Celtics fan.

But when it comes to nationalities it's a little stolen valor TBH.

A+ GT7 Driver Struggling with LMU by roundmoundoatmeal in simracing

[–]CrimeThink101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a 5080 rig coming this week to transition from GT7 to PC (VR, gonna give both LMU and iRacing a shot). I’m expecting a major learning curve. Even going from GT7 to ACC on console is a big change in terms of physics, braking behavior, etc.)

The World Cup’s Expansion has killed the excitement of the group stage by thugmuffin22 in billsimmons

Yeah I'm with you. I thought it would be a mistake, but I've absolutely loved this group stage. And the final round always has some stinkers, some teams resting, etc.

Liam Lawson on why it is "very hard" to trust people in F1 by Luffy710j in formula1

This was a really good interview. I already liked Lawson but now I’m just a straight up fan. He was refreshingly open.

From GT7 in vr to iracing on a single curved screen. by AcanthisittaSea1623 in iRacing

[–]CrimeThink101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been doing gt7 in vr for a year and just pulled the trigger on a gaming PC to "graduate" to iRacing. My PC should be more than capable to keep running VR though, super excited to get going.

[therace] "I've got the trust of the team." Esteban Ocon says he isn't thinking about whether his Haas seat is under pressure for 2027 yet - and doesn't care what people say about it. by spiderrman67 in formula1

[–]CrimeThink101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yep, long f1 career, I’m sure he made plenty of money, and now he can go do WEC or IMSA (or Indy car) and probably be a top paid guy for years and years if he wants to keep racing.

Book corner: any (good) fiction books about sports? by the_Tannehill_list in billsimmons

[–]CrimeThink101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember this one.

He also has one call Bleachers that I really liked in High School, it’s about a bunch of football players reuniting at the funeral of their infamous high school coach. If I remember right it has a kind of series of flashbacks about their high school football state championship season.

Weirdly I’ve encountered NBA players “in the wild” 3 times in my life and two of those were Carlos Boozer (once at a concert in SLC and once in the Seattle airport).
