NFL 2019-2020

I have been to several nascar races (not Daytona) and a couple trips to Indy 500. The super speedway nascar races at Homestead were boring. Most of the race takes place far away and then there's a rush as the pack goes by. Then it's a wait for the pack to come swooshing by again.

Bristol TN is a short track and the racing is up close and intense. It's a lot more fun and excitement because it's close and the entire track is visible.

I would recommend an Indy car race over nascar any day. The cars are much faster and cooler looking. The maneuvers the drivers can make in an Indy car are incredible. The track at Indy is not entirely visible from most of the seats, but there are plenty of seats that have views of the majority of the track. When I went our seats were at the exit of turn 2. We could see cars coming out of turn 1 through turn 2 and all the way down the straight and into turn 3.

My grandfather (Pappy) lived in Ormond Beach which is very close to Daytona Beach. When the race track first opened in 1959 we made a family trip to visit and Pappy loaded us up in his car and drove us out to the track. Coincidentally Pappy's birthday is tomorrow.

I was more into Bluegrass Festivals and concerts back in the day, @Bababooey . I appreciate the compliment.
I've wanted to go to night racing at Bristol for 30 years. Some day. I think the weed laws are crap, so that's not going to help. Might make it to New Hampshire this summer. The miracle mile. 👍♥️

Yeah Hawk, despite ur username it's probably time to get that drinking under control, it's causing more problems than it's helping. 2024 is a new year, try to get in better health this year cause ur not getting any younger.

6 miles a day is a heck of a lot, DB, so that's good ur getting in ur cardio, but the weight loss seems to have tapered off a bit? Maybe u need to add in some pushups and burpees and sit-ups and other body weight exercises so u can lean out further?

Sounds like good advice, never been to a race but they always seem like a good time, they're RV friendly too so if u have a camper/van/RV u can roll in for the weekend, have a good time and then roll out for the next one.
Im somewhat aware of the differences between indycar and nascar but u did a good job explaining it further. I followed F1 a bit last year when Verstappen was winning like 14 races in a row or something, won a bit of $ betting on that. Plus F1 had a race last year in vegas where they did a bunch of road work to have them race on the strip. It's an interesting sport for sure.

Now Fields is projected to be traded to the falcons, and has unfollowed the bears from his instagram. It will be interesting to see where he goes and how well he does there.
Hey bubba Bowie I did stop doing push-ups but it was the winter I didn't want to get down there in the snow. I had McDonald's last night. Working on my goal man working on my goal trying to get down there to 2:20

Isnt TN where nascar was invented, by bootleggers who were outrunning the police? I hear the Great Smoky national park is more popular than the grand canyon as far as visitors go.

Yeah doing some sort of body weight exercises, pushup pullups squats, will pack on muscle and help your metabolism, muscles burns more calories than fat. Hopefully you'll reach your goal weight this year and also pick up a lady.

Spring training is going on, Buzz u gonna catch a game? Nice way to see MLB action without paying MLB prices.

Jim harbaugh left michigan to coach the LA chargers, that's been a fairly cursed franchise for a while now, u think he'll turn their fortunes around?

Yeah Red Sox spring training game first one is tomorrow they really do a number on the radio station so there's an AM station that has it and there's an FM station that has it and they like alternate and never tell you which one is going to have the game

They should have a schedule posted somewhere online which station will carry which game, you would think that's all decided beforehand not spur of the moment.
Im not a big baseball fan but the dodgers got ohtani and yamamoto so that should be an interesting storyline all season. We all know they wont make it past the 1st rd of the playoffs anyway.

NASCAR started in Daytona Beach. Many of the drivers knew how to transport moonshine before they got on the track, or should I say beach?
I went to see some spring training games in Ft. Myers. It's too far from here to any spring training sites.

I hardly watch baseball, even when the cubs were good i pretty much only watched their playoff games. I might try to pay more attention to it this year tho, if only for betting purposes. Imo, taking a break from sports isnt the worst thing, can help me catch up on the tv and movies i missed during football season.

A federal judge issued an injunction that the ncaa cant impose penalties on NIL collectives for trying to induce athletes to sign with their school because of anti trust reasons, it's temporary until the whole case is fully litigated but for now the penalty that FSU got for trying to get a UGA football player to sign with them is overturned.

Step away from football, @Bababooey . One Day At A Time.

Haha, i kinda miss it already, but there should be plenty of news with the Bears in the offseason: trading justin fields, drafting a QB at #1, etc.

Are you guys getting offers for Veteran status for icmag, if youve been with the site more than 10yrs? I guess you get access to the premium subforum, for private grow logs, site archives and also a genetics sharing forum. Seems interesting but i dont grow anymore unfortunately...

do I get a prize?
You might. I won this a couple years ago. $25K a year for life was more than I expected.

Keep an eye on your Inbox. That first check really put a smile on my face.

You should see it in the Forums section, icmag premium subscriber section. I guess if u dont have 10 yrs with the site you have to pay a fee to access it. I wonder how much the site will make with sub fees.

25k/yr for life would be a nice fat bonus to the monthly retirement income, DB.

Russell wilson is probably going to be released this offseason, broncos would still have to pay him 39M for the 2024 season. He said on a podcast he wants to win 2 more superbowls in the next 5 yrs, since he's only won 1 playoff game in the past 6 seasons im thinking that would only be possible if he was mahomes' backup...

Let me know if that trading post works out for you, is it just seeds?
Pro athletes are always very confident so maybe you cant expect him to say anything else but yeah, he's 35 now and not as mobile as he used to be and without the ability to extend plays like before he's kind of just average. Im not sure if there's any team that wants him as a starter, maybe Pittsburgh or Atlanta? Vegas or Minnesota if they dont re-sign cousins?
