The NASCAR Sprint Unlimited and guess what? The powers that be changed the rear spoiler to eliminate bump drafting, but all they can do is run single file. You decide to pull out, go to the bottom and try something- you're to the back of the line. No passing here.

 

Snooze..... a line of cars going in circles.... and a half empty Daytona grandstand.

Because somehow Nascar thinks that speed it the draw rather than racing.  Speed is actually messing up things.  On the big tracks, they should go to smaller engines and take away all the aerodynamic crap, especially under the front end.  Then, with the cars running slower, you could see who the better drivers were.  I suspect Dale Jr would not be one of them.

 

People like Kezlowski, Kyle Bucsh, Gordon would be better I would think.

When they did try to pull out and pass the aerodynamics got all kinds of messed up. Caused JJ's wreck and had some impact on "the big one" that took out about 9 cars.

Fan voting online to determine the format and lineup- wtf.

The big wreck was started by Kenseth trying to get down inside and clipping the 22s bumper, that was straight up matt's fault. Johnsons spin was weird tho.

Austin Dillon and the #3 car won the Daytona poll? What a surprise!

poo is rigged.

I watched the last 10 drivers qualify. The little bar they use to show progress around the track was dead on accurate for 8 of the drivers & where they qualified.

Then when Truex Jr ran it showed him beating Dillon's time by -0.03, yet then when it flashed his "official time" it read +0.04.

Then when the chosen one Jimmie Johnson ran he was consistently mid 20s, even as he crossed the line, yet his "official time" bumped him into the top 15, and subsequently the duel races on Thursday.

Also, Dillon is the LeBron of racing. In a few years he'll realize he's in over his head & can't fill those shoes & he'll switch numbers just like LeBron did.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
