Pay more regardless of whether you want the new sports content or not. Isn't that what's killing cable?

Because racing fans can't tell the difference between a scripted movie and actual on-track competition?

Nice but with AFU becoming the SN: at Penske, he may have other things on his mind.

Boris Said had much better hair.

Okay, stupid social media question. If someone subscribes to a Twitter feed like Max Velocity or Police Frequency, don't you get bombarded with every alert across the nation? How do you separate the relevant local stuff from what's happening 2000 miles away? Or do people just want it all, for...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! :bleh::tomato::youliketh:bigfight::eviltongu:crash::bazooka::angry::moon:o_O:owquitit::mad: which may be a personal record for the number of emojis used in one post

You must have missed the whole 'MARSCAR' discussion, and I think Skoal Bandit was gone before you got here.
