It is a total non-story and the sheer hotness of all the taeks is going to burn down all of Kinja

Do you understand the position Hamilton was in going into the race? He couldn’t battle Romberg for the championship because the only way he could win was if Rosberg finished off the podium. Hamilton couldn’t personally occupy the whole podium so he tried to bring Red Bull and Ferrari into play to compete for podium…

Yeah, when he got out of his car in Malaysia and set his own engine on fire I thought, well that’s it; Lewis is throwing his championship away.

What’s specifically unsportsmanlike about it? His only recourse from the lead was to put the Red Bull and Ferrari cars into play, which he did. He made no dangerous maneuvers, used no illegal tactics.

This is totally unrelated. You’re criticizing a tactic by speculating on a completely different scenario?

Ohio State obviously should be in, but the Big 10 champion (which will not be Ohio State) will also have a reasonable argument for being in. I’m not sure I know the right answer.

The playoffs have existed for 2 years and half of those years the 1 seeded SEC team lost to a 4 seed in the first round.

Wins are the initial tiebreaker

This CFP top 4 will be a shitshow.

Double file restarts in NASCAR on road courses have some tendency to be messy, and with open wheels there is no chance F1 can tolerate nearly as much contact.

How could you realistically do a double file restart on an F1 course? There is no second line that can be run in the lead up to the start/finish straight.

They’re actually level on wins. The second tiebreak is 2nd place finishes.

Well, what about Step 1: acquire said aircraft carrier? I think it would be news if China got that far.

Wait, how did you get here from lane splitting?

I think it lends itself to competitive play in the same way that any meatspace ball sport does (football, other football, basket-ball, &c &c)

Perfect framing

Because back in the day drivers never beefed, never complained about the stewards, and there was zero corruption.

More importantly they aren’t playing LeBron

Didn’t say the penalty was wrong. There’s no point subjecting kids to head damage and then throwing yellow laundry everywhere. How do we prevent such injuries? How do we learn from each incident? That’s why it matters whether it was avoidable.

Definitely helmet to helmet, but also unclear how it could have been avoided as both players assumed postures natural to their motions. It didn’t look like the defender was trying to do anything other than wrap up his opponent
