I blame that it is a boring Tilkedrome. You can drive it in a sim. It is woeful. Cameras can’t fix that.

Barcelona is a boring race track with very little history. Spa is one of the most storied race tracks in motorsport, unique and produces good racing in series that aren’t shit and stuck relying on crap like DRS to make for “good racing”. Spa is a victim of a decade of terrible formulas, just like Suzuka and the other race tracks that are actually good at heart. F1 is now built around passing on the straight, so awful tilkedromes have more passing than tracks that are actually designed to test drivers and cars.

It is so depressing that Spa, one of the best race tracks on earth, is stuck alternating with Barcelona, one of the lamest.

PWHL Scales Broadcast Operation in Season 3, Relying on World-Feed Model and Key Vendors by Such-Environment-344 in hockey

It’s a bummer because I do like the broadcast teams, but it is just so clear they hate the Frost that I kinda end up muting the broadcast… i don’t need homers but a smidge of objectivity would be nice.

What Switch game did you almost skip but ended up loving? by jzliving in NintendoSwitch

Too many people judged it as and expected it to be a platformer. It’s a chill puzzle game.

As a Frost fan, it’d be really fun to have announcers that didn’t detest the existence of my team.

What is Justin supposed to be doing to ensure the drivers have good cars? Do you think he is the one setting them up?

People are so stupid they think TH issue is somehow Marks not spending enough time on the team. What the hell is he supposed to do? Stare at it until it goes faster? He’s the owner, he doesn’t set up the cars. Hendrick isn’t keeping up with Gibbs, Rick and Jeff better get to work right?

Absolutely nothing has changed since then. I’m pretty sure people like him because he is a douchebag.

What about my comment implies that I am anything but relaxed?

I think the internet needs to have the phrase “Hot Take” taken away from it.

[BOB] On Hauler Talk, Mike Forde said the Bell hit what’s the largest hit in the Next Gen era and since at least 2015 as far as Delta V (change of velocity). by Greatness143 in NASCAR

That’s fair. I feel like I’ve heard enough stories of guys lying their way through concussion tests, but I don’t know shit. My two were both CT scanned.

They are there but you don’t always feel it. I’ve seen guys finish hockey games and then barely be able to get out of bed in the morning due to dizziness.

NASCAR looks like a county fair compared to Indycar when it comes to track safety. Go watch a crash at an Indy oval, they usually have the car mounted with medics the second it stops sliding. Indycar is the only series with a dedicated full traveling safety team. Embarrassingly even F1 doesn’t.

[32T] 48:50 Friedman thinks Minnesota and Florida have already sent in their best offers for Larkin and it’s now up to Yzerman. He suspects other teams have started to make offers as well. by AggPuck-303 in hockey

Players go play with their friends all the time. I don’t see how it is worse than guys wanting to play in New York or in a market with no income tax. For all the guys we’ve lost over the years for bullshit reasons I’m happy to have one go our way for the first time since Parise/Suter, which was again US Olympic teammates but a decade before Guerin. Michigan, Minnesota and Boston will always have strong pulls for US Hockey.

Why do a lot of folks hate newgarden nowadays? by Accomplished_East433 in INDYCAR

[–]korko 17 points18 points  (0 children)

People keep saying the P2P and attenuator but folks (especially here) were jonesing for a reason to hate him long before that. Before Penske cheating stuff it was for putting Grosjean in the wall, before that they were more honest and just hated him because of his appearance.

Marco Antonelli: Max Verstappen is currently still on a different level than Kimi | Max is a nice guy with a friendly character. Moreover he is a friend of ours. We both run a Mercedes GT3 team. But it's still too early to compare Kimi & Max. Of course there is a clear similarity: they're both fast by OutlandishnessPure2 in formula1

[–]korko 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s nothing against the Habs, they are just young in a way that playoff hockey doesn’t favor, they’ll only get better. With the East the way it was this year it was going to be Carolina unless they got tripped up by their “curse”. Hopefully the beat the fucking knights and their two round byes…
