Charles would have had to nearly stop on the track and make a 90 degree turn


I don’t know, Russell directly ahead of Charl was able to hug the inside corner

Kimi gonna win this. So much for that grid penalty impacting him lol.

And rightfully so, Charles had the line and followed it.


Agreed with Nico that Lewis was ahead and should have left a car width

How many people have been struck by lightning at SEC games and died in the last 100 years? Without researching the question I would speculate that the answer is none. Don't be such a pussy.

They were nice and accommodating to Tiger fans leading up to the game last year. Let’s extend that hospitality to them… until the game starts!

Can I say they've missed once again? I've yet to watch a single race this season and have only ever watched the highlights. I'd imagine there's plenty others like me who still want to keep up but don't want to subscribe to Apple.


Obviously the race length doesn’t matter to you. My friend, it’s 2026… you cannot follow any sport well without some subscription to allow access.
I am in favor of IBSG alternative.

This could have been dusted under the rug and it self-resolves next year, but Sankey decided to break out the flamethrower while standing in a house of cards.


To be fair to them, they media and other Presidents all cried about it so much they felt they had to do something

But Chambliss is eligible to play, and will play, on Saturday.


Incorrect. He has a TRO preventing any action on him until the case can be argued.

Zucker did most of the emailing but it's not like she was a rouge employee. Ballmer told her to do this then lie by sending retroactive emails making it look like they were initial inquiries.


They would have been a lot smarter to have used phone calls to do this vs. text and email leaving a chain of evidence for investigators.

It would still be sitting there producing nothing in 25 years if it weren't for SpaceX, so putting a made-up number on it of $24 billion is clickbait bullshite


Agreed. Do you know what the assessed taxes are on it currently? I'm sure that Vermillion Parish budget will be increasing significantly from the $25 MM per year.

Are glasses of any help? Best of luck to you.

One positive is you don't have to watch that terrible Auburn football team year after year.

Yeah that's what I was trying to suggest. He got benefits for getting his son to NY and some channel finances that Jalen couldn't be tied to


I’m sure an assistant coach getting $10MM per year wouldn’t raise any red flags.

How do you think Ballmer acquired the clippers?


That was a racist owner being faced with the real prospect of the team boycotting a playoff game. Much different than someone playing loose with the salary cap.
quote:

A detailed analysis then followed, substantiating hundreds of instances in which the team paid for personal air and ground travel, accommodations, gifts, and tickets without then properly deducting the amounts of these expenditures from Mr. Leonard’s pay (as it was required to do by CBA rules).


This was in the report. Would love to see a reckoning for other teams with regards to this. I’m sure all the players are paying market rate when using their owners private jet.
