**** -what- off he's a complete muppet. I cant get enough of quails input - priceless
would be gutting to lose such a quality member
RUF CTR Yellowbird is what dreams are made of
Actually he was quite athletic. There was a video that circulated when he was with The Bears where in part of his workout he jumped flat-footed from the floor to the top of a regular sized kitchen table top and back down. For a 350+ pound guy to do that is pretty incredible.
Ah yes...witch hunting at its best.
My comments weren't sexist, they were based on facts. Men have a physical advantage on women.
You're missing the point.
You don't doubt me, you doubt yourself. YOU can't do it. I can. I'm more physically fit than Schumacher ever was and AT BEST he MAY be able to MATCH ME in a mentally stressful situation.
So you think "rifling" is a sport? What about competitive checkers? Chess?
Here is my point...
All competitive activities (including racing) will have similarities with "sports". ALL. My problem with considering racing as a sport is that the actual athlete during the work of the "sport" is THE CAR. A car is not an athlete. Is it? So you argue that the drivers are the athletes? Why, because they have to press pedals and steer? Pfft...EVEN THEIR STEERING IS POWER ASSISTED.
Let me close a loop hole for some of you...I never said professional drivers are unable to be "athletic". My father runs marathons...but he isn't a professional athlete, so I'm not impressed with Schumacher playing in a pick-up soccer game. But when he's "at work", I find it difficult to consider him engaging in a "sport"...no matter how much he exercises off field. His conditioning is irrelevant to my open-minded opinion.
A racer losing 5 lbs in a race doesn't impress me either and it doesn't prove much. It's WATER WEIGHT. I'm sure the drivers drink liters upon liters of water pre-race with the expectations of sweating it all out. They are sweating because the car is hot...not because they are doing so much work...or maybe I'm wrong.
I'll try to find somewhere that offers a vehicle that I can drive that will give me some idea of what a professional racer feels.
No one has yet to defend professional drag racers.
It's ME.
At least it should be if you commit to removing yourself. But the reality is you aren't going anywhere. False threats.
It's ME.
I have opinions and I think I'm the greatest thing on SPACE...but I will not pressure other people into making actions on a PERSONAL PROBLEM I can handle myself. It is selfish and childish of you to GET ANGRY because PEOPLE ARE TALKING TO ME. If YOU don't like me, how about YOU don't talk to me. IGNORE ME. You have NOTHING to do with me. In fact, I DON'T KNOW WHO YOU ARE. Why are you bothered by me? I'll make it easier for you to deal with me...I will never speak to you.
What a shallow ultimatum. This forum isn't big enough for ME ALONE...but you won't ever hear me asking for anyone else to be removed.

I'm just gonna take this from the top.
Because No one is arguing about Drag Racers. They are built for speed. the same way supposed "athlete" blockers in NFL are built like Brick Houses. Doesn't make them quick or agile, It makes them big.
It's very typical of your argument that you are quick to criticise the work of Drivers such as Schumacher without ever actually experiencing what they do. No doubt your Eclipse was a G-force machine but it's hardly going to require the same amount of reflex-based input, focus and ability to look ahead and process information accordingly.
Remove head from Sphincter, then drive

So you're comparing drag racers (the vehicles) to football players (the humans)?
Don't read too deep, I have raced RACERS before. BUT, I will look to experience something FASTER to completely bust my self-made-myth.

Wait a minute...I missed this one...
I can kill every woman in the world with my bare hands. There isn't a female alive that could stand up to my punch. My MANLY punch to her face would BREAK her. Don't compare me. Don't.

Hah, oh my. Now you're just resorting to lame Maddox-esque "edgy" humour. I'm quite certain now that you're a fragile, pale nerd living in your parents' basement. At the very most, the house and cars you've posted photos of are your parents' as well. The quail's got you pegged, you'll be leeching off of them until they kick your sorry ass out onto the street. For now, just enjoy shitting up forums with your inane nerd rage comments.
At first it was kind of amusing, but the act is tired. I cannot believe you've not been banned yet.
i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.

......You cannot be serious.
Fine, you don't have rage issues.
You're Bipolar.

Seriously ?
First mentally ... consider your approach on this forum ... you're well below the ideal for a driver -- even a school bus driver
Next physically ... again unless you're in the top 5 percentile of fitness then you're dreaming. So pray do tell ... what is your daily physical work out. Your resting and exercising heart rate ?
Is a javelin doing the "work" ? WHat about a discuss ? Pole vaulter ? Tour de France rider ? How many well recognised sports does it take to realise that man has always used "equpment" in sports. So whether there is equipment or not woudl seem pointless argument.a sport is that the actual athlete during the work of the "sport" is THE CAR.
Already pointed out to you the effort it takes to actually RACE a car.So you argue that the drivers are the athletes? Why, because they have to press pedals and steer? Pfft...EVEN THEIR STEERING IS POWER ASSISTED.
THe power steering in a race car isnt' like in an SUV
Yes .. it has gotten "easier" with power steering ... BUT that is because it was getting physically impossible with the higher front grip levels to turn the wheels at the higher speeds !
Follow your own logic .... by that comparison then you are proposing that an 800 metre runner isn't in a sport because he's not running 100 m in sub 10s. Never mind a marathon runner. DIfferent subset of the sport, different "Measures"No one has yet to defend professional drag racers.
Just because nobody defends a drag racer does not negate other forms of driver being involved ina a sport.
Most agree with the point that drag racers are likely not "athletes" .. but are competing in a competitive sport.
Suggest you go to your local track on any day and have a chat with the drivers there to understand what they do day-to-day and compare your fitness levels and "athletic prowess"
"A woman without curves is like a road without bends, you might get to your destination quicker but the ride is boring as hell'
