Yeah. SpeedVision became Speed and then Fox Sports 1.

Cord cutters in 2015: OMG, I saved so much money by ditching cable.

It was actually HD Theater and Discovery HD Theater before Velocity.

As someone who has, somewhere, an 8 year back catalog of loveline and his entire morning show downloaded, I agree.

Hard pass. Last time I checked, he is a right wing, misogynistic, anti-gay douchebag.

After TGA with Tanner, Rut, and Adam stopped with the remaking old TG episodes it became watchable.

I actually miss Rutledge Woods - Lost in Transmission a bit more.

The fact that there are several dozen subscription services has completely negated the benefit of subscription services in the first place. I’m just going to go back to pirating everything now that finding content has become as inconvenient as having to sift through cable channels.

“the Motor Trend Network, which used to be Velocity...”, which used to be SpeedVision, which used to be The Speed Channel.

So apparently you can buy a case of the stuff on their website. Maybe Jalopnik should order a case to see if it really exists? I’d do it myself but I’m, uh, doing the low-carb thing.

The official paint scheme for British companies skating on the edge of bankruptcy.

This is complicated. Haas just needs to get Newman’s Own as a sponsor, which would be a grand slam.

I’m about 90% sure the chant is “Big, dead possum, possum”.

It’s just meant to be some scary, non-defined place. It’s how the DC Comics universe works: as much as Gotham City is supposed to be “somewhere in America”, the Pit is just “somewhere not in America”. They rarely use real places.
