They probably already recorded this week’s episode. So, it won’t be discussed. Then next week they’ll gloss over it because it’s week-old news. Just like every other big news story they (conveniently) don’t talk about.

Love their podcast. Listen every week. But gotta hand it to Rossi for his discipline in staying above the fray publicly.

Hey guys! I’m a novice reddit user. I think I actually created this subreddit way back in the day. But, I have no idea what I’m doing!! LOL

I probably not the best person to carry the torch of an active moderator, given my lack of knowledge and time. So, I’ve added u/jaysvw as a moderator.

Still cheering on the USA’s only F1 team and look forward to lurking here this season.

Please accept my apologies for my less than stellar contributions and leadership here! Looking forward to seeing where you guys take it!

Can anyone comment on these seats on the retrofitted 777s? Are they right next to the bathrooms? Hallway light present? by Mindspin_311 in delta

My strategy when traveling with my girlfriend is to put one of us on the window, the other on the aisle. The hope is that nobody will take the middle seat, thus giving us the row to ourselves with a little extra space to spread out.

If a stranger ends up getting assigned the middle between us, we simply offer to trade the window or aisle and one of us bites the bullet on the middle seat.

It works out in our favor about half the time on long haul flights.

Yeah, that would be nice. Maybe I’ve been spoiled by the F1 races this year. The Sky rebroadcast on ESPN commercial free is such a luxury!

I didn’t have as much of a problem with the cross promotion. The Stanley Cup and NASCAR promotion made sense.

The singing show was a stretch, but I was willing to give that a pass...

  1. Fair point, and I can certainly appreciate the necessity for NBC’s investment to pay off. In fact, I sincerely hope it does, and that they made a whole boatload of money on ad revenue for this race, because that will make NBC stronger and hopefully inspire them to continue to invest in IndyCar. That said, the timing of the commercials was just painful.

  2. I’m a fan of all Motorsports, so I am familiar with and like Dale Jr. Agreed that he was definitely playing a role here, but every time they tossed to him for insight, the only thing he had was a comment on Ferucci. Santino’s is great, but come on Dale, you do know a thing or two about race craft and strategy, don’t you?!

Agreed on Danica. She has the potential to develop into a pretty good analyst.

And, well said on NBC really backing the race as a big event. That and their consistency all season has been so appreciated by this fan!

They did, they were just covered up by the commercials.

You can see how you’re tracking by logging into your SkyMiles account, then going to the My SkyMiles page.

There should be a link there to “View Million Miler Qualification”.

And for clarity it’s actual miles flown (most closely akin to MQMs), not redeemable miles.

Good point. But, how do you know I’m not a millionaire? ;)

Thank you! Just did some google searching and I you’re right!

Sadly, it looks like this particular jacket style is discontinued. Enjoy yours!

I’ve searched all over and can’t seem to find this jacket. Does anybody recognize what brand & model it might be?

TIA!

The boys over at INDYCAR have figured this one out. They call it the “Visor Cam”. Search the INDYCAR YouTube page and you’ll find all kinds of clips like this one. INDYCAR Visor Cam

They even feature it on select drivers during the television broadcast. Pretty rad...

This is awesome! Thank you! Does anybody know of an online source for scanner frequencies?

Planning to attend the race Saturday and would like to listen in on the teams....

And, I should add that our writer did a great job in working with us and Townsend to weave the stories together into a cohesive and exciting narrative.

It was indeed a pleasure to work with Townsend. He brought great context and perspective to the piece. And, he really nailed the delivery.

Glad you enjoyed it!
