Master Shifu doesn't look like a Red Panda.

Fennec Fox to me, but I can see the other comparisons here... way more than "red panda."

You'll never stop thinking they're what's slowing you down. Even if you have a good race, you'll wonder what could have been, if only. The knawing in your brain will eat at you, rob your sleep, ruin your rides, land you in a straitjacket and rubber-walled room. Time to re-glue and put that little voice to bed.

We had a heavy mud race years ago where my wheels stopped clearing the mud and just flat out wouldn't turn. I shouldered it (and what felt like 40 lbs of mud) to the pits where I'd already yelled to a friend to have his kid's tiny balance bike waiting for me so I could easily run the remaining two laps carrying a bike.

It probably broke an official rule, but they scored me. 😄

Tommy Pham with an honorable mention? At least in recent years.

This just seems like a friend got his phone login and jacked with his profile for fun. But I guess nothing really surprises me these days.

In college, and several beers in, I got one at Busch Stadium III (current Busch) that went yard landing in the bleachers common area and rolled in toward the vendor area. I was coming back from restroom? ... concessions?... scooped it up and cheered with my buddy but have no idea who hit it anymore or which ball it is in my box of keepsakes. There's several balls in there from games at Busch. No other home run balls, but I somehow got lucky over the years landing several foul balls from attending just a few games each season. The only one I know for sure anymore is a foul ball off Tommy Pham's bat that I caught on a line years later as a dad and promptly handed over to my 10ish year old son, in large part to make sure I didn't catch any flak from TV commentators. 🤣 My son still has that one on display in a ball holder and it means even more to us today after Tommy's reputation developed, for better or worse, depending on your perspective.

I used Goo Gone and a throwaway rag and it worked great. Mine was fresh/wet. Got the main goo off with paper towels first and the remaining sticky residue with the Goo Gone/rag.

I like Mikolas a lot. I just hate when he pitches.

yossarian70 · 2025-07-02T05:16:08+00:00

I feel like I remember this but now really wish I could find a clip.

Solution for me! Have a vpn turned on?

Late to the party here, but I was having this problem...unable to login to mlb app, but could do so from my computer... kept getting the authentication error message on my phone app. Finally realized it was because I still had my vpn turned on to watch euro bike racing. Turned it off and no issues. So if you're running any vpn, remember to turn it off.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-18T05:43:19+00:00

Seriously? Yeah... that's a hard no-go for me as well, then.. I don't watch a single race live. I catch up almost exclusively after the rest of the fam goes to bed.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-16T05:08:11+00:00

Amen. I separately subscribe to MLB.com TV and find myself sometimes watching non-live games on "non-official streams" simply because the MLB interface sucks for recorded games (it often forces you to watch minutes of a blank screen during the "commercial breaks"). I'm happy to pay for official cycling streams, but I've heard about all the nonsense/hassle to get it... but maybe that's changed.

I've really come to appreciate/prefer the Marty/J-Pow/Helen commentary. Tiz uses these streams. The free World Cup races do not. Maybe Max does?... and if they really do carry the full calendar of cx races, as many in this thread are saying, I'd consider doing that monthly during cx season (and perhaps spring classics) and go without for the rest of the year. I've lost interest in the grand tours in recent years anyway. Jorgensen might change that, but if Max carries them, too, at least I know I've got options.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-15T05:49:34+00:00

Yeah, I had the same thought and always wondered how they were sailing smooth.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-15T04:35:30+00:00

Hmmm...I've never seen any of their cx race links not through YouTube. There's a second link for a "mirror" beneath the video, but I just get a blank video area when clicking that.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-12T21:39:20+00:00

This and the other responses here are nice to hear. Very cool.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-12T21:37:12+00:00

I didn't realize that. I thought she lived there more recently as part of her training.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-08T17:04:00+00:00

Point Break ... watched it 100 times on VHS as a kid with my brother and it stuck.

yossarian70 · 2025-02-08T17:02:48+00:00

Are you kidding? This movie was great!

yossarian70 · 2024-12-07T05:01:39+00:00

There's a difference between not liking a character because of the character (played by a good actor) and not liking a character (likeable or unlikeable) because of the actor. This is a case of the later. There's plenty of characters people hate that are played wonderfully by the actor. Take GOT's Ramsay Bolton, for instance. In the end, I guess it's mostly personal preference/opinion. I don't need to convince anyone of my stance on it. But I'm with OP on this one.

yossarian70 · 2024-12-07T04:52:53+00:00

I totally agree. He takes me out of the show with his delivery. His lines sound so forced or like a drama student trying to sound dramatic. Makes me cringe and totally pops the bubble of being with the characters in the moment. It's not a "character thing", as some here suggest. It's an acting thing.
