Is it even legal to drive in reverse on the track? And I'm not talking about when you're just pulling out of a gravel trap, but like, actually driving on the circuit itself?

Charles finished fourth, buddy.

God forbid we actually expect the highest-paid drivers on the planet to stay within the lines

I’m talking specifically about these race stewards, who apparently get all satisfied after 35 laps of just handing out warnings🤣

Either commit to enforcing the rules until the checkered flag, or just be upfront from lap one and tell everyone you're going to start handing out penalties

It’s a bummer for Verstappen, but hey, at least the rulebook is clear on this one

Carlos just absolutely slapped Charles Leclerc☕

Sainz is destroying Leclerc 🤣

Ferrari thought they were bringing in a second driver, but it’s just going to be more fighting in the end

Tiger Woods is dealing with some seriously nasty leg injuries, and he’s heading in for surgery

Mercedes gets hit with a $22k fine, but George Russell keeps his points

Quote : this was caused by a radio communications technical issue wherein The piti wall ’ failed to tell the crew that Car 63 was heading into the pits before Car 77. Because the driver of Car 63 talked over the radio at the exact same time, the crew never heard the instruction. This led to the front tires of Car 77 accidentally rolling right over Car 63 since they were double-stacked in the box.

Look, this is a straight-up violation of the rulebook. Usually, you're looking at a heavy sporting penalty or even a full-on Disqualification. But, they decided to cut them some slack here because of some extra complicating factors beyond just that radio glitch.

Crofty says

- Russell will probably get the DQ because he used up one extra set of tires (mostly because they put him on Bottas's)

- Charles gets a Charles Three Place grid penalty for next week

Valtteri Bottas still has that class 🙏

Charles loves playing torpedo with people; honestly, it’s not even his first time doing this. I’m leaning more toward him being the one at fault here rather than Sergio Perez

but man, Mercedes 🙏 really needs to figure out how to stop sabotaging their own drivers like this

the haters would probably claim—the second Louie isn't around, suddenly everything is "problems"

Charles ☕

I just joined in this year, and honestly, I can already tell we’re in for some massive shocks.

Look, my main concern is just trying to build a roster where half the squad ends up being dropped before the first week even hits.🤣

Adam King6 said:Man, remember that Ronaldinho goal? The one where he just stood there and hammered it from like 20 yards out without any run-up? He was playing for Barcelona back then.
It was like he didn't even have a plan for the ball, so he just decided, "Yeah, let's just score." 🙂

I was actually just going back and forth with LeGriffio about legendary goals, and that one was the first thing we brought up.

See, sometimes you just sit there stunned because you have absolutely no clue how or why what just happened actually took place.

So we started looking for goals you can describe without even needing to drop names—stuff everyone instantly recognizes. We even pulled up that legendary Goran Rubil strike against Lokomotiva, and that one against Hajduk Split too. 🤣

As for that Messi vs Getafe goal, sure, it might be a 100% identical replica of Maradona's, but let's get real here: Maradona's goal happened during the World Cup in what I think was the quarterfinal against England, whereas Messi's goal was just one of 38 matches in La Liga against some underdog. The actual result of that game barely mattered for the league title, so honestly, Messi's goal doesn't even come close to being on the same level as Maradona's.

You have to look at the whole picture—who scored it, where, how, the style, the opponent, and the stakes involved. When you weigh all that, only Maradona's goal hits every single mark. If you asked anyone off the top of their head, without overthinking it, to name a goal that was simultaneously more beautiful AND more important than Maradona's, I couldn't tell you a single one.

That goal is number one of all time for me, because I truly cannot think of a goal that was both more stunning and more significant than that magical summer of 1986 during the World Cup in Mexico, when Maradona took on England in the quarterfinals on Argentina's path to becoming world champions.

Except it was in the cup, and it was against the absolute BEST defense in La Liga that year—one of the best defenses in all of Europe, actually. And keep in mind, that was a squad that actually knocked Barcelona out of that same cup despite Messi's goal.

But yeah, who gives a damn about facts, right?

By the way, personally, those kinds of goals aren't even special to me. 🤷 Every single season in every major league, you can see at least ten players just sprinting past defenders like that. It’s way easier than weaving through people in tight spaces, like when Ibrahimović scored that legendary goal back when he was still at Ajax.

And as for those English defenders, there's really no point even discussing them; it's like they were just standing there waiting for him to score.

Now, I'll go ahead and contradict myself a little: despite everything I just wrote, it really is an objectively phenomenal goal. But what makes it special is mostly the circumstances of the match (I'd say the biggest fact being that the opponents were English) rather than some sort of divine footballing skill (not that such a thing doesn't exist).

It's the kind of goal I could probably pull off in a pickup game myself. ☕

And don't even get me started on the whole human space farce 😂

Christ is born, then rises from the dead.

That’s probably the only logical sequel.

In a theater? It’s not even a 10/10, it’s a straight up 15/10

I'm not even watching this at home, let alone ever—don't want to ruin the vibe by doing it on a tiny screen somewhere

Noah Roberts46 said:I recently watched American Made. It was a bit too much hand-holding for my taste, but the story itself is interesting. Generally speaking, Tom Cruise picks solid movies; he rarely misses, unlike with The Mummy. He’s a total blockbuster machine.

When Taika is directing, he brings a great sense of humor. Personally, I think What We Do in the Shadows and Hunt for the Wilderpeople are fantastic films. The latter (Jojo) feels a little childish to me, but it isn't bad. Actually, news just broke a few days ago that he'll be directing and writing new Star Wars films. Honestly, that might actually turn out well.

If you haven't seen the Raiders movies, just go watch them already. For me, they might be the peak of 21st-century action.

Signing off, Stu the IT guy 🙏 👍

Anyone seen End of Watch?

I gotta say, when I first saw Inception, I thought it was absolutely mind-blowing. But looking back at it now? I realized a huge part of that "wow" factor was just me being totally lost. I thought it was deep because I didn't actually get what was happening.

Every time I rewatch it now, the only thing I really notice is how gorgeous the cinematography is, but honestly, there's just no substance there. It’s all style, no meat.

If you want the good stuff, go with District 9, Arrival, then Edge of Tomorrow—in that exact order. Don't get me wrong, they're all great, just different vibes.

I know steelharbor9 is a massive fan of Ex Machina, but personally, it didn't really do it for me.

As for Marvel, they've got a mixed bag. Ragnarok is actually a hilarious comedy (Korg is a legend), The Winter Soldier is basically a top-tier spy thriller (plus, it's got that Redford vibe), but Thor: The Dark World is straight-up garbage. Period.

The first Rambo is an absolute masterpiece

It’s got nothing to do with the rest of them

This isn't even directed at you, it's for nimbleranger52 😁

someone needs to get a grip on this country, you losers

I swear I used to sing along to those classic Taylor Swift hits thinking she was saying "you're in my blood, my darling" instead of "you're in my blood, you monster."

And don't even get me started on that old "Restless Heart" track. Back then, I thought it was some deep anthem about passion, but listening to it now? I can't tell if it's a masterpiece or just straight-up unhinged.🤣
