    Wait a minute. Was that the one with the ridiculously high wall and the alligator pit as part of the track?

    I used to like that show, although, as memory serves me, it replaced GLOW.

    Yes. I did some reading online and they're apparently re-airing episodes all month since this is the 30th anniversary of it.

    Still miss the Timber Games that ESPN used to show - particularly the Big Air Dogs.

    Indy 500 to run without fans, after the Speedway thought it could hold the event at 50 percent capacity ... then 25 percent ... then "eh, screw it."

    Get the fuck out of here with that shit dude:

    The Dispatch contacted Rhett, a local real estate agent and Columbus Redevelopment Authority board member, on Sunday, and he suggested his account may have been hacked. "I'm not Facebook or internet savvy. I don't know how to do any of that stuff. I have no idea how that got there. ... I don't know how to post anything, man," he said. "I'm 60 years old. I barely know how to answer my phone. ... I don't do any posting at all to be honest with you."

    Rhett, for his part, asked Sunday for an opportunity to speak to Portnoy, and he apologized for any concern the comments might have caused and assured the reporter he did not post those things. To avoid any further issues, he told Portnoy he had deleted his Facebook profile.

    As of deadline today, Rhett's Facebook profile is still active and the comments posted to Portnoy's page have not been deleted

    My parents can't figure out how to change their name in our weekly Zoom chat. It's been "OwnerBob" for three months.

    This is the most disturbing thing I have read on this. I knew it was coming. But I didn’t suspect Colorado State, and I never, ever expected any sources — even if anonymous— to be athletics department staff.
