re: Athletic: MJ Reforms NASCAR

Posted by bamarep on 12/13/25 at 11:52 am to
"reforms" is a bit bold at this point but MJ, Denny, Polk, and Jenkins certainly have to be given major props to put it all on the line to at least try.

Hendrick and Penske are both billionaires and neither of them had enough nuts to stand up to NASCAR.
This outcome is hopefully going to be transformative. I think the turning point in the trial was the testimony of France himself. How the frick does a man of his stature get on the stand and tell a judge and jury he doesn' t know how much money he makes? NASCAR was going to lose and lose big and they saw the writing on the wall.

NASCAR was double dipping on the tracks they own and having to sell those would have been unrecoverable for the France family.

From the testimony during the trial, NASCAR's answer to the teams profitability concerns was always to cut cost and not exploring ways to increase revenue. This will change that formula.

Major kudos to MJ and Polk for having the nuts to challenge the status quo. Hendrick and Penske are both billionaires but didn't have the nads to tell NASCAR to FO.

Another thing is although certainly not Denny's biggest fan I hope you guys will give him the respect his role in all this. Major props to all the plantiffs for taking a stand.

Maybe this will turn the tables on putting a better product on the track.
Trial started today with Jury selection beginning this morning. Will be interesting to see if NASCAR actually lets this go to witness testimony part.

Im hunting a WMA that has about 8000 acres of planted hardwoods.

Every 5th tree is dropping acorns the size of quarters. It's impossible to patter them. You're strictly getting lucky at this point.
Well guess what?

It ain't working. Spread the damn field and give your receivers with speed room to use it.
Why in the chinese hell are we always lining up ALL of our receivers together and more than not within 5 yds of the box?

It seems to take away the short routes because the receivers are all bunched together, along with the defenders covering them.

It also seems to allow defenses to crowd the box.
That's a damn good hire.

If he keeps Durkin they're going to be a solid program.

He showed out for sure.
Offensively, we N E V E R spread the field anymore. Every damn offensive possession all of the receivers are tucked tight to the tackle box. SPREAD THE DAMN FIELD FFS.

Spreading the defense would:

Loosen up the tackle box for the RBs to have room to work and less potential tacklers

Give the receivers MUCH more room and green field to work

Make the defense defend the ENTIRE width of the field instead of just between the hashes


It blows my fricking mind why a supposed passing team doesn't spread the defense out
How can ANYONE, and I mean ANYONE dislike Denny Hamlin after reading that email? He saying to the leader of NASCAR what all of us bitch about every week. Not only is he saying it to France's face, he's putting up his OWN money to try to make the product better.

And, he's right. Hendrick, Childress, and Penske are all late in the 4th quarter of their careers. Now, they are all very good businessmen but more importantly they are racers at heart. Dale Jr, Denny, and Kez are owners now but also racers at heart. How good a businessman are they is yet to be seen with the exception of Kez. He's a better businessman than he is a racer at this point in his career. I had no idea about the shite he does for the space program and Navy.

It's a pivotal time for that sport and the next 30 days and that trial will define it's future our outline it's continued demise.

Bamarep has been studying on one of these for the 3 or 4 times a year I get invited to shoot clays for work.

My local WM has them for about $450

Anyone know if this will work with an AR 10 lower?
In my mind, the fact that Riley has just a few less yards than Jam and hasn't had a meaningful carry in 3 games says volumes.
Both RBs had whiffed blocks yesterday.

Personally, I think the constant rotation of backs is contributing to the problem. Neither one is able to get in any kind of groove.

IMHO Hill has earned the right to get more carries. I'm not a Jam hater because the OL obviously has room to grow but right now Hill is more productive.

This is Alabama sir.


We are not into moral victories.
I could give two shits if they cover the spread.

Just win the damn game at this point.

re: My take on yesterday-Oklahoma

I remember the first time I saw Ty Simpson play football was in the A game his first year. After his first drive, I thought to myself, "this kid is too tentative and holds the ball too long when receivers are open."

He's STILL making those same mistakes.Yesterday was just a bad day for Ty despite all the yards he threw for. Lots of bad decisions.

3 turnovers will get you beat against most anyone you play, especially in the SEC.

Our OL is the worst since 2007. It really is that bad. It's like you said in your post; if you cannot gain a yard you deserive to lose. We had to run a trick play to gain 3 yards FFS.They just cannot move anyone off of the ball.

I blame some of the lack of running game production on the RBs as well. They just aren't hitting the hole hard There was one play yesterday where Hill bounced it to the right side with one guy to beat and he actually took a stutter step allowing the defender to make a sound tackle. WTF is a 240lb running back doing taking a stutter step? Lower your fricking shoulder and run over the dude! I was always taught "you can deliver the lick or take the lick," it's up to you.

Defenses have solved the Ryan Williams puzzle. He just doesn't like to be hit. Hit him at the line and it throws his whole route off.

Like the OP said, this just isn't a physical football team and it shows.

Our staff isn't helping the RBs with the play calls. It's obvious 8 games into the season our OL cannot create running lanes. The staff should recognize this and call more plays to what we can do. They rarely run anything outside except those jet sweeps to Germie.

LONG LIVE THE TOSS SWEEP!!
