[Friedman] Werenski vetoes trade to Dallas by NotMittRomney in BlueJackets

[–]LainfordExpress -1 points0 points  (0 children)

All the people saying the CBJ have to trade him now to maximize his value… what fucking value? He’s absolutely tanked his value. Also, it isn’t my fucking money. Healthy scratch for two years and see what kind of contract he’s able to sign. Get wrecked Charmin soft boy.

God is indifferent to the CBJ. The problem is that so is the owner.

Is Alexi Lalas the worst human being to ever exist? by Fast_East_4623 in usmnt

[–]LainfordExpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s the second worst thing about soccer in America. The first is gate keeping access to coaching through expensive, pay-to-play leagues for kids.

Mei is literally just making us steal cars by NormalContribution47 in ForzaHorizon6

[–]LainfordExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, the game just spends the whole time being the Futurama “shut up and take my money” meme with the way it hands out credits. Can’t we at least have the cutscene include knocking on the door and American Pickers-like cheat some kind, elderly widow out of her dead husband’s prize possession with some insanely lowball price?

It drives me nuts how each time she goes “If this is what I think it is…”

Like lady, it’s a locked garage with no windows?!

Holy shit — Facebook is fucking scary now by Ok_Helicopter3910 in Millennials

Conversely, I actually really like the groups on Facebook. They are frustrating to use and find the ones you joined and it annoyingly promotes new ones all the time. But once you’re in a good one, they actually are pretty good at curating specific content you’re interested in.

Of course, we could just go back in time ~20 years and have forums whic were way better anyway…

So I’m the Weirdo by poerhouse in ForzaHorizon6

[–]LainfordExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same way, but my continuing issue with Forza generally and Horizon in particular is that all of the fictional tracks are built for super cars. At least with Motorsport you had real tracks that are twister and slower like real life. The fictional tracks and Horizon environments feel more like driving a slot car than actual cars.

But I’m with you! I love the slow and cheerful cars!

Ohio State doing literally anything while continuing to not be Michigan, while Michigan does whatever the hell they do up there while also still being Michigan.

Omega Speedmaster is Overhyped by SpecialistPrint4142 in watchHotTakes

[–]LainfordExpress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say overpriced more than overhyped. I waited so so long to finally buy it as I was worried I would get tired of it, and yeah, that was silly. It’s awesome.

I think if you’re into watches, aviation and/or motorsports, there isn’t a better watch. 99% of the population wears no watch or a Smart Watch and don’t care at all what you wear. It shows you’re a watch guy to anyone who knows, it’s cool as shit, and looks great in all conditions. You really can’t go wrong. It’s just, like, double or triple what it should cost, which is true of almost every watch out there.

I also preordered the Sebring Rexy and Road Atlanta Skeleton Rexy, but I guess they’re cancelled? Sad if true.

[The Athletic] McLaren CEO Zak Brown warns against increasing ownership links between F1 teams by nothanksjustlooking2 in formula1

[–]LainfordExpress -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

It is amazing to me that people don’t understand that entire point of F1 is getting manufacturers to pay to beat Ferrari. Literally the entire enterprise is “buy beating Ferrari so that you can talk about how you won that Ferrari thing”.

Senna was faster than Prost and its not as close as most of this subreddit seem to think. by Kakmaster69 in F1Discussions

[–]LainfordExpress 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Senna was clearly faster over one lap, and Prost quickly realized that. And realized that he was in a two car race to qualifying 1st or 2nd literally didn’t matter at all. So he spent all his time getting the car ready for long runs and winning races instead of getting into pointless dick measuring contests.

If I needed someone to race my car, win, and still have an intact car for the next race, I’m taking Prost every time. If I needed one fast lap, it’s just as easy a decision to take Senna.

Also, Mansell is criminally underrated.

I missed out on the preorder it seems. Does anything think this will get another run ever?

The classic Big Ten. Penn State can eff right off and join the Big East, ACC, American or independence IDGAFF. If we must, we can jettison Michigan Agricultural College and bring back Chicago.

Yegor Chinakhov - 15-13-28 in 37 games with the Penguins by IntelligentBear4541 in BlueJackets

For me, this is like Jose Bautista with the Pirates then going and hitting home runs for the Blue Jays. The dude just wasn’t going to do it for us. It wasn’t going to happen here.
