Oh, F1 is only like that on the days that end in y.

Seriously, we haven’t had a serious round of “let’s make their wonder-part illegal” in some time. As far as administrative chicanery, some of the stuff the FIA would do to Senna on behalf of Prost (the president was French) would curl your toes.

Right. You’re trading concussions for skull fractures at that point. And that’s mostly what helmets were invented to avoid.

Not sure I understand what you mean by petty but Qatar is known to be a shit track (it was designed for motorcycles). Abu Dhabi’s not much better though they have made improvements. However, they have “we’re the final race” written into their contract.

Are they, or is their badness more publicized? Also, you look at some of these guys, particularly in the NBA and NFL, and they’re barely the same species. It’s a wonder they keep up as often as they do.

All this Mariot-ta stuff reminds me is all the upcoming World Cup games where Derek Rae puts in way too much effort to pronounce the Austrian backup goalie.

I’m not sure we’ll ever lose the temptation to be mad online about it but as rulebooks become increasingly more complicated and human performance increasingly refined we have to consider that the solution is unknowable, especially since many attempts to digitize the problem also irritate people.

This is before we even get to my long-held belief that there isn’t enough talent for Michigan, Michigan State and Ohio State to all be good at the same time.

I can’t think of any coach that could be successful in that situation right now.

My cynicism says “guy for the Gophers coming out of nowhere for one of the greatest #OneOfUs stories since Adam Thielen” was worth the risk, at least to Thor from LeSueur.

It's still ^&*# Ohio Day in my heart.

Clearly stated that Lake Michigan's islands and bays are for sports men.

Our hearts are painted black
We should have known our evil deeds would put us both in shackles!"
