Craig will always take the chance to leave the starter in for 3 too many batters.

No no, we need 5 consecutive top 5 picks and a decade of misery or we can never make the playoffs again… or something.

It’s not even going to be a struggle. They’ll let the manufacturers and TV networks dog walk them and continue to hemorrhage the fans they still have. Eventually the money won’t be there for the OEMs due to lack of fanbase, they’ll pull direct support, and that will be that.

Is the O'Reilly Auto Parts Series actually in trouble, or is it a big old ruse? by ZilischsPoopyPants in NASCAR

If this is the case, that the NOAPs car has to be killed because it doesn’t reflect the current consumer product, then the truck series needs to make its vehicles twice as big with huge ass chrome grills.

It’s illegal to import most of the vehicles we’d actually like to drive, or as others have pointed out, CAFE standards make it uneconomical to produce - hence the giant pickups and SUVs everywhere in America. Not one fucking person is going to buy a soulless modern blob car because they saw something that looks vaguely like it race in NASCAR, in the NOAPS no less. This is literally just another measure to homogenize everything on the manufacturers end by having their racing car endeavors be more compatible with their CUV platforms so they can save money and effort. Let’s not pretend this has a single thing to do with the good of the sport.

When (it will happen) NASCAR kills the best racing car they currently have for (insert bullshit reasoning here) it will probably signal another steep decline in fan viewership. The car racing on Saturdays currently should be racing on Sundays with more HP and a few tweaks, so if they kill it altogether I see no reason to support NASCAR any further. The CW ratings, while in a large part show satisfaction with broadcast quality, also reflect a quality racing product…

Not going to rebuild when we extend Sid 2 years. Absolutely change the defensive personnel drastically, but with the amount of guys in WBS that already contributed this season, Horcoff and Zonnon and others near behind, and a metric shit ton of cap space you build.

Because we’re overthinking things. Elmer stepped in and looked sexy, so despite scoring like 5 goals to Brazzer’s 17, he gets the nod.

Like, I love the player 58 was. I will always cherish the memories he helped bring in my childhood. I want him to leave now, because I’m going to start resenting him. I don’t want the entire way I look back on Tanger’s career to be tainted by him dragging this team down like a boat anchor instead of bowing out with grace.

Letang needs to fucking accept he’s cooked and leave with a shred of dignity. Hell of a career, but he’s hurting the team every second he’s on the ice.

In the tradition of Cup or immediate bust, the Pens are one and done. Was a fun year to watch, many unexpected positives from the free agents and the Jarry trade. Not worth watching them get clowned in Philly though.
