I moved to Leipzig recently and went to watch RB for the first time today.
I am disappointed to report that half-and-half scarves seem to also be a thing in Germany.
So, OF COURSE when there is a race that has the depth that the Michigan race had this year, with no huge wrecks and no side-by-side finish, they will be disappointed.
And it’s all caused by the advertising.
And NASCAR.
@jeff_gluck@Jordan_Bianchi Catching up on your post-Michigan podcast (which was excellent) and I want to chip in on the discussion you had about why fans might think it was not an exciting race.
Basically, I want to make the case that it is NASCAR's fault.
I think my favourite thing about Prime's coverage of @NASCAR is Carl Edwards and @CoreyLaJoie apparently competing to find the shirt/pants combination that shows of their torso the best.
Some promising signs for England in that half of rugby. Quick hands in the backs, winning the breakdowns, resolute defense at the end.
I wonder how we'll throw this one away??
I tell you we need at The Bridge for the return leg - Support . Unconditional support for 90 minutes. A big Champions League match under the lights ? Might be a while 'til we get another one . Let's raise the fucking roof!
