All I ask is that you remember me when your windfall comes in and you get a bigger fire pit or something.

After a thought, I think I know who the culprit is here. This absolutely smacks of Fanatics saying, OK, we'll do the blue jerseys but it's going to take us five years to make 50 pairs of blue pants because we're Fanatics and we're terrible so you're gonna have to get by on this for now.

I thought all those walking pics were for fitness.

I know it’s not him but I feel like Minnesota may be in the world’s first recursive Dylan loop.

I faint at the potential implications.

Oh, F1 is only like that on the days that end in y.

Seriously, we haven’t had a serious round of “let’s make their wonder-part illegal” in some time. As far as administrative chicanery, some of the stuff the FIA would do to Senna on behalf of Prost (the president was French) would curl your toes.

Right. You’re trading concussions for skull fractures at that point. And that’s mostly what helmets were invented to avoid.

Not sure I understand what you mean by petty but Qatar is known to be a shit track (it was designed for motorcycles). Abu Dhabi’s not much better though they have made improvements. However, they have “we’re the final race” written into their contract.

Are they, or is their badness more publicized? Also, you look at some of these guys, particularly in the NBA and NFL, and they’re barely the same species. It’s a wonder they keep up as often as they do.

All this Mariot-ta stuff reminds me is all the upcoming World Cup games where Derek Rae puts in way too much effort to pronounce the Austrian backup goalie.
