    Auto Racing 2025

    Penske fires Tim Cindric and others, as he clearly sees the need to plug this hole. Penske realizes that integrity is critical as motorsports continue to fight for their existence in the media sphere. Cindric has been with Penske since 1999, so this isn't some small time deal. As long as...

    DISH gives DIRECTV the Bird...

    Dish (I guess Echostar) sucks at marketing. Dish Network, Sling, and Boost suffer from this.

    Has Dish nixed offers?

    I have noticed the offers are blank right now under my programming. Maybe it is because I haven't paid for Showtime for 6 or so months because they keep offering it for free, or I'm on and off a lot with the Movie Pack at half off. However, I'm surprised the rest of the Flex pack offers are gone...

    Auto Racing 2025

    The speed and the low banked turns. With Indycar today, the engines are finally in a position of greater stability but for about 100 years, the fastest cars often didn't see the checker flag. The low banked, relatively rounded rectangle turns make the race 800 chances to mess up, like JR...

    Time to Lock In the Savings! Well...

    Jebus Dish! Wait! Lock into a 2-year pricing... and have a $240 early termination fee? First 10 or so months, I'm not saving a dime! I'm glad the advertisement is up front with the termination fee, but Dish isn't exactly doing me any favors for about a year, and then I'll be saving $3 to $5 a...

    Auto Racing 2025

    It definitely makes things interesting. Again, this is a 500 mile race at the most demanding track on the planet. There is no award for going from 32nd to 5th in 30 laps. There are benefits and risks to marching up quickly. It seems likely there will be yellows in this race, unlike most of this...

    Newgarden and Power are sent to the back of the line. So now, there several former front row qualifiers in the last two rows. Veekay upgrades to 31st. Dude isn't racing yet and he's moving up the grid. :D Last three rows include Herta, Armstrong, Veekay, Power (former winner), Newgarden (2...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    I think I'm going to create an online service that tracks where the heck games are going to be available. They are fragmenting the coverage so badly here. I know it is great for the bottom line right now, but how much will CBS and Fox be willing to pay for rights when the NFL is eliminating...

    Auto Racing 2025

    Had someone put $1000 on Swartzman to win the pole at Indy in April, presumably the betting agency would be lawyering up to cancel that bet. A rookie winning the pole is quite something. That Prema who had been absolutely a mess up to the Indy 500, making it very hard to tell if Swartzman...

    Auto Racing 2025

    Fast 12 minus one is set. McLauglin gets turned and crashes heavy into 2. Car won't be ready until tomorrow, so top 11 to fight for top spot. Insane parity with Ganassi, Penske, Andretti, Prema, Meyer Shank represented. Armstrong, Veekay, Abel, and Andretti (the Marco one) vie for the final...

    Kiffin Simpson with a scare in Turn Four. Thankfully, the car held to the ground enough. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kE2Hgoj7Ew4

    Auto Racing 2025

    Practice all week at Indy. Qualifying starts Saturday. Weather has been good enough to allow enough driving. Penske and Ganassi have been up top. Ferrucci is not happy with the car and they went to the older one. Dale Coyne is taking their time, probably looking to get the race trim down...

    Will Dish loose spectrum?

    I'd say the lines are a bit blurry, but they are doing something, else they wouldn't have the spectrum any more. link I've never been impressed with Dish advertising. They need to seriously pick up the pace on getting people to sign up. Overall, the 5G revolution has been a bust, but it is...

    Will Dish loose spectrum?

    Someone is using their influence to push this. Dish/Echostar is required to push out 5G in a certain amount of time. They've reached most of those milestones.

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    As opposed to 1976 when all of the teams were undefeated, had 2x 1,000 yard rushers each, and every team's defense had 10 sacks a game while the offense gave up no sacks a game? :oops: *BSOD*

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    MONEY! They want more of it. The NFL have gotten about all they can out of the US. So they are looking outside the US. Why are you taking this personally? Welcome to my world as a fan of Cricket, Soccer, Motorsports. The NFL wants fans in Australia. They want Aussie sports networks to pay...

    NFL 2024-2025 Season

    The NFL is somewhat saturated in the US already, I mean short of a game on every day of the week which almost seems inevitable at this point. The NFL is branching out internationally to sell more merch and TV rights.

    Mid-Ohio is less than a month away for the Michelin Pilot Challenge. *giddy* Ordered a few ND filters to hopefully improve the 500 mm lens images, to slow them down a bit.

    Auto Racing 2025

    Palou won? What a shocker. Graham Rahal was generally in charge for most of the race. That is a shocker, RLL in front? But the tire situation was against Rahal and he slowed down and Palou moved ahead. Then out of no where a yellow colored flag thing was waved. No one recognized it. It caused...

    Palou owns the course. But it was Veekay's hero out lap in front of Will Power on cold reds and holds onto the position that was my moment of the race. Veekay finsihed 4th! Lungaard shows the weakness of RLL, as he has been killing it, short of being Palou.

    Rain holds off and practice 2 and qualifying work out at Barber. Palou takes the pole. Rinus Veekay has a solid last second lap to bump into the Fast 6, qualifies 5th. Looks like a red tire race. Fox improves the qualifying stats, but need to make things a bit easier to read without needing...

    Star Trek: Lower Decks

    Finally started watching Lower Decks. A particularly fun and funny show, which combines enough references, whimsy, responsible plot development to work as a comic sci-fi. I usually have "Red Alarm" going through my head at some point during a day. Nearing the end of Season four. With that...

    Repairing an EHD

    Sounds like something on the initial partition is the issue. Hard drive could be hunky dory, but an important file that H3 handshakes with might have become corrupted.
