  1. Absolute domination for Stuttgart over Dortmund today, with the only BVB goal coming from Guirassy against his old club. At 75', it was 3-0 and like 63% possession for Stuttgart. VfB now 3-1-1 on the season.
  2. Whoa - what if Danny's last act as a Red Bull driver is to give Max the WDC? Hell, that alone should give him at least one more drive and a proper send off in Austin.
  3. Sniping it from McLaren was very nice as well.
  4. Sanders is a twat but that kid has an arm for sure.
  5. It has a sort function, but I seem to be getting the same result as you. Have "In Progress" selected but getting "Finals" as well. edit: Only on mobile. Laptop works as expected.
  6. lolz - admin put a clock on the lizard!
  7. Certainly sounded that way during the broadcasts the last 2 days, w/ the prevailing thought that Singapore is it for him.
  8. re: Danny Ric Some of the chatter today was about him maybe racing in Austin instead of cutting him loose after Singapore. It would be pretty excellent if RBR/VCARB announced USGP was his last race and gave him a bit of a sendoff at his favorite race.
  9. That is an idyllic way to look at it. One might argue that simply having a backbone and fighting back once in a while instead of waiting until after the fact to point out how mean/wrong/deceitful/whatever the opposition was would have been a better plan of action. You don't think the dems are compromising who they are today, do you? My position is this attitude would have been helpful a couple decades back.
  10. About fucking time. It is quite refreshing, but there is no denying that if they would have had this attitude 40 years ago, we wouldn't be in the mess we are today. Say what you want about the republicans (and please do!), they have had the long game figured out since Reagan. They have been systemically breaking down the game forever, and Dems have let themselves get rolled over. Co-opting the church to push agendas, gerrymandering, getting elected at the lowest levels and changing laws/rules on school boards and small towns, rejecting political norms to block SCOTUS nominations, etc. Literally too many things to count - and I'm certainly not the poli-sci guy to break it all down for anyone. I have always felt like the Dems put importance on doing the right thing, and Republicans put importance on winning, at whatever cost. Thrilled to see Dems taking the low(er) road and punching back, but undoing what the Rs have successfully worked on over decades is a tough row to hoe. Probably the wrong thread for this, but specifically here in TX, how is there no Dem Godfather behind the scenes to keep these knuckleheads from making bad decisions? How are Wendy Davis, Lupe Valdez and a 2x defeated Beto the best we could put up against Abbott? And that's not even going back to Perry's opponents... Who let Beto run for President in 2020 and destroy all the positive momentum he made in the 2018 senate race? I'm pulling like hell for Allred, but I've been less than impressed with his efforts on the trail, and am prepared for Lucy to pull that ball back in Nov.
  11. I'd bet there was some electronic beeps immediately prior.
  12. I would legit cry if that happened.
