Almost time to go green.

The whole thing is crooked. From the NCAA on down. I don't blame the kids. I'd want paid too, especially if my coach was being paid millions per year. The schools get tons of money. TV makes tons of money. Everybody makes tons of money. I'm not saying I think it is a good thing. I've said many times that the top-100 high school recruits each year should go to the NBA developmental leagues, and be paid a minimum salary with healthcare. Let the NBA pay for the development, like European soccer teams do. The NBA generated a gross of $10,580,000,000 in 2023. I don't know the answer to fixing this. I guess it is better than the under the table payments coming through shoe companies and street hustlers. I always laugh when I think of what happened to players in the not so distant past, Chris Webber, Reggie Bush, Terrell Pryor, etc., compared to the amount of money being paid now. It's all crazy and I have no faith in anyone running things to save, let alone fix, things.

The field is set

Q2 is done

The walls here seem so close.

Red Flag for Hulk. No crash though, which is good

It appears that Niko Hulk lost an engine.

Q2 on the track.

I really have nothing against Apline. I want a bunch of teams to be good. I really like the Alpine 110 street cars and I rooted like mad for Schumacher his first championship in the Renault but, this season has started very embarrassingly.

Both Alpeeene Frenchie cars out after Q1. Same with Bottas and Zho

I support this notion.

Pretty nice slate of ranked games tonight. #1 Houston at UCF #4 Tennessee at #17 South Carolina #2 UConn at #8 Marquette #20 BYU at #6 Iowa State Vandy gonna get slaughtered at #15 Kentucky

I always had trouble with even doing stick figures. My nephew, on the other hand could visit one airport, or see one ship and draw an incredibly intricate representation. It’s funny how that stuff works.

Yeah, what he said, minus the theft of your property part. Those are wicked cool.

She’s good. I think I met her once when she was much younger. It was her dad, if I remember correctly, who was one of the editors of the newspaper when I first started writing about racing.

This is absolutely correct. For me, all I really remember of Jos is him becoming a human fireball on that one ill fated pit stop. Dude is worse than the worst football dad.

This video played after that one wood posted. Pretty cool, too.

That's crazy, and cool, as well as maddening.

I just think he's done. He's a personality. By all accounts a good guy but, I don't think - especially in a crap car - that he has much to offer, other than PR.

Watching Woodstock: The Director’s Cut

Watched the first episode. I liked it a lot. For those saying the guy is channeling his inner Tom Hardy I can see that. My first thought was Richard Burton. I don’t know why Burton came to my mind but, that’s what I thought at first. The commercials though, killer.

Wow, that was cool. Soccer in the snow is crazy Just finished watch St Louis v NYC. St Louis won, 2-0. They played way better with the ball than they did in Tuesday night’s loss to Houston. NYC did not look good and there looked to be tension on the bench. I’m thinking the NYC coach does not last the season. Mikey was on the bench but did not get subbed in.

And these idiot teams are fighting like hell to keep Andretti off the grid, “because competition”.

I have always said, even as late as last night, what I thought of Stroll’s daddy financing his kid’s extremely expensive hobby. As for Sargeant I think he will be drummed out rather quickly. There are other drivers who will be brought in to replace guys who get fired from their seats.
