Sepp Blatter is German for “Roger Goodell”

Yeah good catch you’re right even in the 80s they didn’t weigh that much I meant 3800, and I believe the Gen-6 is down to 3400ish pounds. Point being in terms of vehicle weight compared to downforce, F1 and NASCAR are basically diametric opposites and that’s a tough adjustment, was always impressed by how he adapted.…
His résumé is about as impressive and well rounded as it gets today. Two successful Indycar stints as bookends with fairly successful stretches in F1 and NASCAR as well. Doesn’t get much more impressive than being on a list with Mario Andretti and Dan Gurney as the only drivers to have won in F1, NASCAR, and Indycar.…
Definitely a strange turn of events...you don’t often see strategy bungled so badly. I don’t count myself a fan of Lewis Hamilton but I definitely felt for him here considering the quality of his drive to that point and the magnitude of the race. With the disappointment so fresh I was very impressed with how Lewis…
Blazing hot take
They could easily do this, except they didn’t care about this technicality until this whole farce started so a few years back they allowed teams to prepare their own to get the QBs their preferred feel. How do we know this? Because there are no rules for chain of custody pre-game, no uniform inspection process, no…
I realize that 243 pages of a report studying ridiculous minutiae like the psi of a football is a lot for anyone who has a life to read, but I wonder how many people have actually read it before forming an opinion. Seems to me most people either skim the executive summary or scroll through the report to pick and…
Here’s an issue I have with the report and its transparency: why did the league handle this in the manner they did? We’ve heard allegations of a “setup” or “sting operation” which the report denies without going into any detail whatsoever. However, it seems clear the NFL was aware of these allegations ahead of time…
Why would Belichick be involved with the preparation of footballs on gameday? NFL coaches work 18 hour days watching film and paying attention to things like formations and X’s and O’s decisions that have an actual impact on the game, there is a zero percent chance he spends any time or thought on such minutiae before…
Except that the referees didn’t record the pressure before the game when they checked them. Walt Anderson says he checked them but didn’t record the results, which is pretty important here. We know the balls were under-inflated when they were checked at halftime and those results were recorded by 2 different officials…
Martin has since said in An article in EW that it is his hope to have the book out before Season 6 of Game of Thrones. This season will presumably premiere in mid-April of 2016 meaning he would have to finish the book shortly after the end of this year in order for his publisher to get it out in the space of 2-3…
Actually thought NASCAR’s new chase format, designed to be more like other events you listed, was probably the most entertaining and action filled postseason I saw last year and was universally considered to be a big success. The elimination rounds turned up the intensity to the point that there were multiple brawls…
Kimi does have some atrocious luck, seems like he is constantly getting pin-balled around by some overzealous driver in an inferior car. That being said it was a lot of fun to see him extracting that kind of performance out of the Ferrari, incredible comeback drive. Bothered me to hear people say he was washed up…
That's exactly what they do. Goodyear gives teams recommended minimum air pressures but these are no longer enforced, so teams often go way below recommended levels making the first few laps on restarts treacherous until temperature and pressure come up. Starting them this low allows for a longer period of time at…
I don't think most Patriots fans are THAT shocked that Revis chose one last big payday over the chance to win in New England. Perhaps no player in the modern era has extracted more from his free agent opportunities than Revis, he is a true football mercenary. New England sports talk radio will do the chicken little…
One positive to leasing and repeating the cycle that wasn't touched on is never worrying about basic maintenance and repairs. The first 2-3 years of the vehicle's life are definitely the best years, and if you lease vehicles you are always driving something new. With a modestly short lease term you should never have…
I think there is some hesitation using Crafton due to his lack of experience in a Cup car. For those saying he did fine this weekend, yes he did, but that was plate racing which is a completely different animal. The skills involved in plate racing (side drafting, bump drafting, choosing lines) translate from one…
You hit this on the head. This whole "deflategate" farce has been a prime example of bad journalism from the beginning. All the information in the case, starting with Chris Mortenson's report, has been dubious at best and it seems clear there is a ton of speculative and incomplete information leaking from the league…
