Relax Finn, the amigos have the contract to cover the first 8 races, Hence the lower quality coverage and reporting ....





Think of it as Hope and change ..................

Dude, your right. Okay, here we go.

1. Webber has signed with RBR for 2011.

2. Massa has signed with Ferrari through 2012. A sure sign Alonso will be guaranteed the #1 spot and will not have an equal teammate like Vettel or Kubica for his 3 year term at Ferrari.

3. Everyone in the paddock is picking McLaren to win in Canada. However, RBR/Horner say IF they win in Canada, they know they can win everywhere else and they pretty much will be hard to catch in both the WDC and WCC.

4. Brazil, Spain and England are the top favorites to start the World Cup tournament tomorrow. Defending World Champions, Italy, are not amongst the favorites because of older returning players and injuries. Argentina and the FIFA world player of the year, Messi, are dark horses with a ton of talent, but their coach, Diego Maradona, is a nut case and not respected by the players as a manager................................................................. .................................................
5. Lakers lead the Boston Celtics 2 games to 1 in the best of 7 NBA finals series with game 3 tonight. Check your local listings

I can't believe that Speed isn't covering the race.
I'm not sure I can endure the coverage of the 4 non Speed races yet again....

Pete... MAJOR FAIL.

You report some sports but fail to miss by far the most important sport news from yesterday...

BLACKHAWKS win the Stanley Cup!!!

What is a Blackhawk?

Finn, forget about the ice sports. Your in Miami, enjoy the sun, beach, Sobe, chicks in thongs, etc.

Lewis, I've been really busy with life, the F1 broadcast is not on SPEED? Are we going back to CBS for the next 4 races?

Get with the program Pete and learn about real sports, real men play.
I do enjoy the amenities you mention but that doesn't stop me entering the rink and playing couple times a week.

Montreal F1 broadcast is live on Fox, European, British, & German GP's are delayed...

I thought playing with chicks was a real mans game?

Ooooooohhhhh, FOX. Can I get a vote for Darrell Waltrip with his "Boogity, boogity, boogity, the car is loose or tight", and other NA$CAR references? Or will I get the SPEED crew on FOX?

Wasn't the surface breaking up last time they were there?

I'm going with Webber. I think that now that he has signed an extension to his contract he'll want to prove something to Vettel...

Watching from the hairpin is great. I've done it a couple of times. It's also close to the supporting races paddock. Last time we were there there was carbon fiber pieces all over the place from the Ferrari Challenge carnage. My kids still have pieces in their bedrooms...

There is nothing better than playoff hockey...this year's Olympic hockey was epic.

That having been said, unless I was having a nightmare, I thought I saw Bobby Orr (only the greatest player to ever put on a pair of skates.....) wearing a Blackhawk jersey and hoisting the Cup.

I still have not and will never forgive the Bruins for trading him.

NO, don't do it, it takes much longer and you'll never get through the Fishkill/Claverack area without a speeding ticket. You'll get plenty of nice driving on the Northway above Albany.
I've made the trip a thousand times when I was in school at McGill. I also drove the circuit regularly on weekends.
Was at the GP during the iconic A Jones/G Villeneuve era, also unfortunately when R Paletti met his fate.
Great spectating, and right into the city by Metro for nightlife.
Have a great time, guys!

Also, NO RADAR DETECTORS in Canada. They'll set you up and if they see you brake they'll tear the car apart looking for it!
