[@1RBFjr]

Winter rally car is wild. Have you seen any Isle of Man TT before? Super bikes racing through small towns, very rare to have barriers. Here’s a short video, fast forward through interviews for race action:

A lot of people have died on the same day they were born. I find that fascinating.

It happened to me!

MLB Prepared To Take Over Local TV Broadcasts From Sinclair

@VolPack22 this doesn’t surprise me one bit. Pretty much telling us of the impending doom of Bally/Sinclair. Sounds like MLB pretty sure it’s happening. The interesting thing is will it lead to increased access to MLB games overall, or less access?

With the caveat I haven’t read much about this, MLB doesn’t want teams to lose exposure and the income if the broadcasts are dropped. If the regional broadcasters go in bankruptcy, the deals with the teams may get renegotiated or another broadcaster might take them over.

There was a local broadcast fiasco here in Houston as Drayton McClane sold to Jim Crane. Life was miserable then for the Astros fans. We had no local broadcasts for at least a year. I would guess that some of those suits are still pending.

That’s not good for the Mountaineers.

This turned out to be a very close game w/the back & forth & coming down to anyone's game. Alabama wins by 8 because Auburn couldn't hit their 3s down the stretch to stay close.

 

[Volprofch05]

That’s not good for the Mountaineers.

It's not, and they need some wins

Guys, for bragging rights, good luck.
