Commanders? Something is very wrong if they arenβt in the playoffs.
Depends on my expectations for the season.
12.09.2025 01:55 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Oh, agreed! I mean garbage time in context of postseason dreams and high draft pick hopes. Youβre totally spot on.
10.09.2025 11:56 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0The Nats need three wins to secure not losing 100 losses. Which, feels like a moral victory on the season but Iβll take it. Itβs all garbage time but we arenβt getting a top pick next year. No reason to mail it in at the end for the younger guys.

07.09.2025 19:51 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Right out the gate itβs odd they arenβt going for it on fourth as aggressively as last season. Which, might just be a first game, settle into the season thing - but still would love to have some more looks at longer drives. Really need to score on the next possession.
07.09.2025 19:36 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Watching Philly do this is absolutely disgusting. Should have been us. Go #Commanders.
05.09.2025 00:14 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Iβm looking forward to watching next week. Same with NASCAR. Both if time allows, football is back anyways. But still, I really enjoyed it. Itβs hard for me to compare the disciplines as they both have incredible challenges - but F1 does a great job.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0NASCAR I feel can take a few lessons from F1 on how to do a broadcast. Itβs all in the details. It feels to a degree some of those lessons are showing through, which is good. But itβs always good to keep pushing to try to be better. Theyβre both doing that in their own ways.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0As a designer too, the incredible attention to detail the F1 broadcast and Sky Sports puts into how these are broadcasted really was a joy to watch. It looks good, sounds good, lays out the story well. David Croft is absolutely electric on the mic.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0That all said, even tho Piastri won somewhat predictably, knowing how razor thin the margin was between he and Norris was really compelling to follow in qualifying. It made for a really interesting to story to track for the race before Norrisβs car took a dump.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0And yes this is not a true comparison. You canβt completely compare the two but they have shared traits.
The use of different tires is something Iβve played with in Gran Turismo, but didnβt know how it was handled in race life. Thatβs been fun to learn in this process.
I found it helpful to see how teams were doing in practice, what tires to use, lines to lean into, how the track rides cooler and warmer, dry and damp, dirty and clean air. The good nerdy stuff that I love about racing that NASCAR taught me, but was interesting to see in a different discipline.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0What F1 does well is telling the story from start to finish as to whatβs going on and why itβs important to the larger picture of the season. Practices and qualifying provide a lot of good stuff for this.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0(I do know new smaller cars are incoming. Iβm very excited about that and how it can improve racing in tighter tracks. Hope NASCAR does that too.)
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Back to F1, a race like Monaco for all its spectacle isnβt always a fun watch when seen by itself. Today in the Netherlands is kinda the same. You wonβt get a ton of passing at the front, but youβll get the good stuff in the middle of the pack.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0Practice and qualifying are also not things that are all that fun to watch. Definitely there are folks who enjoy it, thatβs great - just isnβt something Iβm interested in. The race day itself fills the cup well enough.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 2 π 0For background, in NASCAR itβs not wildly common for the pole sitter to win. certainly can happen but with the length of races so much can happen. That also doesnβt mean the race is all the good but again - theyβre long. Lots can happen.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0So this weekend was really the first time I decided to watch practices, qualifying, and the race. Just to give it a full try.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0My biggest knock on F1 is that the races seem a bit predictable on outcomes. You get the pole, you tend to win depending on the track. I get strategy is in the details, Iβm a baseball fan so I understand that big time. I wanted to understand better what I could be missing.
01.09.2025 02:55 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0For context: I grew up a huge NASCAR guy, Iβve never been opposed to open wheel racing (F1, IndyCar) and F1 never was easily accessible. Didnβt watch the Netflix show, I just enjoy a good race. So Iβve been slowly getting into it more. Following the last few seasons, catching a race when I can, ect

I watched an F1 race from start to finish this week for the first time. Practices, qualifying, race - the whole thing. Iβve watched just the race, but not the build up. It was really quite something. Tread:

I still watch games regularly, my kids love βThe Wβsβ, and I even got my way to the draft in ATL to cheer the 1st pick. Still, itβs rough. This documents the sentiments well.
