Does anybody know how many cameras the networks use to cover a baseball game, or basketball, or football?

Like 10? Maybe 20. And who controls how the images get broadcast? The commentators? Of course not. Probably a producer for CBS sports or ESPN or whatever, right?

Holmes. Could you imagine a situation where theoretically your favorite composer was Beethoven (like Little Alex) and theoretically scientists at Harvard were able to bring him back to life as a young man. And he decided to give a concert. The 9th Symphony. Which he would personally conduct.

Then Barack informed you that you had been chosen to here this. You and a select few of your friends and relatives. Your choice. No more than 50 people. The whole ordeal to take place at the government’s expense at a time and place of your choosing.

Nice, right? One catch. Larry King is gonna narrate the whole thing for broadcast live. And he is gonna be next to YOU for the entire performance.

This is exactly what it is like for me to watch hot laps during Formula 1 qualifying. I’ve tried rewinding and turning off the sound, but then I can’t hear the engines. I would give anything to make these motherfuckers shut up.

Would you please shut up. You of all people should know. This is Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso. The people who watch F1 have no need for your input. They are experts. Trust me. SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!!

Every night my first prayer is that Steve Matchett dies. It starts like this: Die, Steve, Die. I wish you no harm. I don’t want it to be painful. I just wish you didn’t exist. You are a fat ass who could never fit into a race car. You are an idiot. And nobody wants to listen to you. Get a blog. Or die. Please. I’m begging you. Just STFU.

What a weekend to keep my mind off of other things. If you still don’t think racing isn’t important and race car drivers aren’t worth the money they are paid (which is more than any other athletes) – take a look at Scott Sharp’s 6.2 second accident at Petit Lemans in Atlanta on Thursday. I just saw the tape. Apparently he walked away without a scratch. That’s what I am talking about.

And that was just Acura in the second division.

1000 miles. 10 hours. The Germans versus the French in the battle of the diesels. Peugeot vs. Audi.

Where? Georgia in the rain.

It brings tears to my eyes.

Maybe someday Americans will be able to compete in this race.

…

So McNish and Audi with the (R12s?) won last year and for like 9 years running. peugeot started last year with one car as a warm up for Le Mans (France, 24 heures). Which they won this year against the new Audi R15.

This year at Road Atlanta Peugeot got both pole and the front row. Audi second row. Rolling green start in the rain. Something told me it was gonna be special. So I paused the DVR. Then cued up Megadeth: Peace Sells But Who’s Buying track 8: My Last Words. Then hit the forward button which causes slo-mo on the recording (live to me). Very Nice. Audi passed inside of the first three turns. Let’s see how the next ten hours go.
