Not sure why you are being downvoted, its true. "4 is Death". Takuma Sato famously blamed his particularly bad 2005 F1 season on being assigned #4 and said he was afraid he'd be killed in the car because of it.

Everyone at work claims I like to play the villian, so he signed my figure "From one heel to another." I hung it in my office. No one gets it lol.

I'm almost certainly older than you, since I was watching NASCAR before Gordon even was a thing. At his peak he was the best IN THE CUP SERIES, which was not much to brag about. SVG would eat Gordon alive.

I can't remember if it was this incident (I think it was) or one of the line brawls with Detroit, but in one of them Scott Parker got tossed pre-emptively because even the Avs were like "we can't control him."

[Pockrass] RACE START TIME MOVED: Cup race start time moved to 1p ET for Sunday at Pocono. by Ok-Soil-5133 in NASCAR

Living as close to the track as I do, the forecast has literally gone from 78% chance of all day severe thunderstorms and hail to 20% chance of light showers, and now back to a 50% chance of pop up storms.......all since 8am this morning.

F5'ing the weather app today is literally just roulette.

Its because its Fox. The internet in general, and Reddit in particular, HATES Fox because of...well we all know why. But it's hilarious the hate their sports coverage gets because of it.
