RogerDuke Posted January 19 Posted January 19 Sorry Garrett. That was painful. 4 teams left. Patriots travel to Broncos. Rams travel to Seahawks. There are no teams I care about so I'm done with football. Good thing I have dirt bike races. Garrett Duke and Hobie Hartkins 1 1 Quote
Hobie Hartkins Posted January 19 Posted January 19 I like all these teams except the Patriots! ( They're in the Dolphin's division you know!) I'm sorry Garrett! Chin up bud! Maybe you can find one of the remaining teams to root for! Quote
RogerDuke Posted January 22 Posted January 22 Well, Garrett if you really want to watch the Bears on Super Bowl Sunday you could always pop Boar's Nest Bears in the DVD player. Garrett Duke and Hobie Hartkins 2 Quote

Garrett Duke Posted January 24 Author Posted January 24 Well y'all. . .I have been trying to mend my broken heart since Sunday. I may never be the same. Though I have to admit it was nice being on the winning side this year. This is the best season they've had in over a decade. Ben Johnson is the coach the Bears have needed since Lovie Smith. Caleb Williams is one of the best QBs they've had. It has been a fun season...stressful, but fun. Sad it is over, but proud of the team and their never give up attitude. Though with them out... Football is officially over for me. Daytona is 23 more days from now... Onto NASCAR and baseball... Hobie Hartkins and RogerDuke 2 Quote

HossC Posted Saturday at 08:06 PM Posted Saturday at 08:06 PM The 2026 F1 season starts this weekend with the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne. There have been many changes to the rules and regulations since last year, some of them controversial, and many of the drivers are unhappy with the way they have to drive to recharge their batteries. We'll have to see how the racing turns out. One of the favorites, Max Verstappen, crashed out in the first qualifying session without setting a time, so he'll start near the back in 20th place. Cadillac start their first F1 race in 18th and 19th, but they're expecting their first season to be a learning experience. In the final qualifying session, George Russell put his Mercedes on pole with team mate Kimi Antonelli in second. Kimi had a bad crash in the morning (see here), so the team did well to put his car back together. Max's team mate, Isack Hadjar, qualified in third, showing the Red Bull's pace. Ferrari's Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton put their cars in fourth and seventh, sandwiching the McLarens of Oscar Piastri (at his home grand prix) and reigning champion Lando Norris. The top ten is rounded out by the Racing Bulls of Liam Lawson and rookie driver Arvid Lindblad in eighth and ninth, and Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto. This is also Audi's first season, but unlike Cadillac who started their team from scratch, Audi took over the Sauber team. You can watch the qualifying highlights here. Quote
HossC Posted 18 hours ago Posted 18 hours ago Two cars failed to make it to the grid for the opening race of the season. The Audi of Nico Hulkenberg had issues on the way to the grid and local hero Oscar Piastri crashed his McLaren after a power spike turned him into the wall. Neither of the dominant Mercedes had good starts, and both Ferraris made good progress off the line. It led to a lot of back and forth overtaking between Charles Leclerc/George Russell and Lewis Hamilton/Kimi Antonelli over the first 10 laps. Then, on lap 11, after some good opening laps, Isack Hadjar's car lost drive and retired bringing out a virtual safety car. Mercedes chose to pit both of their cars while Ferrari left both of their cars out. That decision would prove decisive as George and Kimi went on to claim a 1-2 finish for Mercedes with Charles and Lewis in third and fourth for Ferrari. Reigning champion Lando Norris could only manage fifth ahead of Max Verstappen who made it to sixth from his 20th place start. They were the only six cars who finished on the lead lap. Oliver Bearman finished seventh for Haas and at 18 years old, rookie Arvid Lindblad became the youngest British driver to score points in F1. The top ten was completed by Pierre Gasly in ninth and Esteban Ocon in tenth. Cadillac had one of their cars make the finish with Sergio Perez in 16th - the last classified position three laps down.
