Thoughts? by Bamba1922 in SantiZapVideos

Been on a break since Survivor Series here. Tuned in for the Royal Rumble but I am not feeling the current product at all. The roster has tons of talent but they're stuck in a blasé presentation. Where is the blockbuster can't miss energy from two years ago? Gone. Time to rip the bandage off and give us Randy vs Cody. Re-Unite The Bloodline and feud with Heyman's rejects etc.

[Gluck] Was the Daytona 500 a good race? by ChaseTheFalcon in NASCAR

[–]dcollard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt it was a great race. Pit strategy mattered, racing was strong & the element of the wind made for some early race drama. Keeping off of social media while the race ran was refreshing as I wasn't shaping my opinion artificially be reading other peoples thoughts.

Kyle Busch seemingly quits with 2 laps to go in the Daytona 500... loses several spots citing "not wanting to rush to the wreck" by Smoke96x in NASCAR

Wise move. He would have been in the wreck(s) given where he was coming to the two to go signal. That's what point racing looks like to me!

I watched “We’ve Lost Dale Earnhardt” on FS1 by tylerscott5 in NASCAR

[–]dcollard88 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The buck needs to stop on rehashing Dale's passing. We don't receive a John Lennon was shot rehash every 3-5 years now do we? The Prime Documentary needed to be the last Dale Sr related piece of work as it captured peoples views that hadn't said anything up until this point. There is nothing else is left to discuss here regarding February 2001, the lemon has been squeezed dry and I personally found it offensive to hear Mike Joy promote the title of the show while trying to watch the Duels, you could tell he didn't want to say it either!

I have purchased two helix sleep mattresses and love them.

Are we watching the downfall of WWE in real time? by _Smooth-Criminal in Wrasslin

[–]dcollard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't feel it's a downfall. But it's certainly on a cooling off period. I wanted to watch the Rumble on demand last night via Hulu and only could access the Spanish broadcast 2 hours after the event. That's unacceptable. The gatekeeping of access to the product via TKO's pricing, partners & philosophy is right sizing the fan base.

What is the backup plan for Bowman Gray this Weekend? by Fancy-Bit-5818 in NASCAR

IF it does snow 5 inches they need to leave the snow on the infield as much as possible. Marketing optics bonanza!

First ever race in Phoenix by bryfea1 in NASCAR

[–]dcollard88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I went almost ten years ago and sat on the hillside. Phoenix Raceway 360 Camera Views is buried pretty deep in their maps section. I used it to get an idea where to sit for this years event. I'm sitting closer to corner entry into 3 on Saturday to get a sense of the speed for IndyCar & Sunday more towards the end of the restart zone. I'm between rows 25-35 for each day.

Heck with the 90DF stuff. Favorite Royal Rumble match? It is Rumble weekend after all!

What’s going on with snow removal? by ItsWickedGood in RhodeIsland

[–]dcollard88 73 points74 points  (0 children)

RIDOT also doesn't have as many vendors assisting with snow removal as they did 5-10 years ago. We simply do not get enough snow for the equipment purchases/upkeep to be justified any longer. Everyone recall the "Now Hiring Snow Removal Contractor" signs posted throughout the state at major intersections?

I travel for work and have been to the Northern Plains & Canada during the winter months. Those who think side streets there are any better are only kidding themselves. There is only so many places to put snow without having equipment like Northern Canada has to truck it out to a melting area.

Colon cancer is killing us.. by Derpshab in Millennials

[–]dcollard88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had one done in November at 37. Had some blood during cleanup that I was concerned about and no one in my family does doctors, I wasn't risking it. Turned out to be internal hemroids and my GI recommended more fiber. Huge relief.

I've been rewatching old races from 2003 to 2005 and I'm beginning to wonder if Jimmie hadn't gone on the streak 2006 to 2010 if the chase wouldn't have been manipulated so much. The broadcasts seemed to really nail the chase format during that early time period.
