You’ve obviously never been to race in person. You can call it a bunch of things- not boring tho.

Your admission gets you the entire seat…BUT YOU ONLY NEED… T H E EEEEEEEDDDDDDDGGGGGGGEEEEEE

I went to the Mile High Nationals at Bandimiere Speedway

Was super boring.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Golf is boring as shit irl and on a screen. Racing? Not even.

Fuck NASCAR, and Indy on circle tracks-but WRC Rally, F1, World of Outlaws, Monster Jam, Ice Track Motorcycle, Supercross, and Drag Race events are anything but boring in person, and serviceable + on TV.

I think the problem is you're assuming his gender.

Saudi boxing card thoughts:
-Ball v Ford was fight of the night
-Wilder is completely washed. Gunshy, chin is gone, should've retired after the third Fury fight
-Zhang won, but he's not good either
-Dubois obliterated Hrgovic. Hrgovic is a truly awful fighter and I'm glad he's finally gone, but now they're going to strip Usyk's IBF belt and probably give it to the winner of Dubois (whom Usyk knocked out on a jab) v Joshua (whom Usyk already beat twice).
-Bivol make quick work of Zinad, Beterbiev fight rescheduled for October
-other fights were entertaining

It was the Connor McDavid show tonight as Edmonton advanced past the Dallas Stars in game 6. His goal was spectacular. They'll meet the Florida Panthers in the Stanley Cup Final. Florida lost in the Final to Las Vegas last year, so they know what it's like to be there, have the better overall team, and will almost certainly be the favorite. But it's the Cup, and anything can happen. And it sure doesn't hurt having the best player in the game on your team. Really looking forward to this series.

So...are we watching what could be the biggest choke job in the NHL? Florida, trying to win their first ever Stanley Cup has a commanding 3-0 series lead, only to piss away the next two games to the Oilers, who are now winning 3-0 after 2 periods in game 6. It's happened once before (1942 Toronto Maple Leafs).

 

[city41]

A reverse sweep in the finals would be amazing to see. Let's go oilers!

I think with that game 6 win Edmonton will now finish the reverse sweep. However, I still hope Florida wins.

For any of y'all who only casually watch boxing, look out tomorrow (Saturday the 29th) for Juan Francisco Estrada vs Jesse Rodriguez. Potential fight of the year. Legitimate world championship fight, not just some fake trinket belt.

 

[famicommander]

Jesus Christ.

Jesse Rodriguez is a truly special fighter and we're seeing him at the beginning of his prime.

The man has walked through four absolutely legendary fighters before his 25th birthday. Carlos Cuadras, Srisaket Sor Rungvisai, Sunny Edwards, now Juan Francisco Estrada.

Keep an eye on this kid, y'all.

first JJ mccarthy, now Jordan Addison. the curse of Kurt.

Arizona Rattlers defeat the Massachusetts Pirates 53-16 to claim the 2024 IFL Championship, their second in the league and 7th title, their previous 5 were in the AFL. On the opening kickoff, they quickly took a 1-0 lead and never looked back (scoring a rouge).

 

[famicommander]

Outlaws finished their first season back 5-5 and made the PLL playoffs. Last year the team they rebranded into the Outlaws was 1-9 so this was a big improvement. Outlaws themselves have continued their previous streak (2006-2020) of never having a losing season.

Jaguars 0-2 and this shit isn’t looking good. FSU stinking it up at 0-3 . It’s too early in the season for this level of sucking.

 

[Tw3ek]

Broncos 0-2 and Nix looks pretty crappy.

I'd certainly be happier about this is my team wasn't also 0-2 but oh well

@famicommander with another terrible prediction of the broncos going to the super bowl with bo nix. I hope you spend this new year learning some humility.
