These are ephemeral experiences and excess is hard to recall. But then is memory something we should be taking a break from?<br /><br />MikeM: I'm not sure that wrecking your opponent's team-mates is any better, even if it is slightly less expensive. I look back on all those macho NFL events I watched and realise that I only became aware of the afternmath quite recently: a sort of mobile graveyard of the living dead. Where are you now Fran Tarkington? Roman Gabriel? Dandy Don? Gibbering over their morning cereal perhaps.<br /><br />But there is another failing re. F1. Many races are mere processions and there have to be fallback diversions. FI is nothing without continuing reference to the laws of physics and the changing detail of evolving technology. And those are hard things to sell as entertainment. I'm not proud of being a F1 freak, you understand.Roderick Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16828395545197001637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-45262422406250993052016-06-14T03:56:04.561+01:002016-06-14T03:56:04.561+01:00F1 - the only sport I've heard of offering $50...F1 - the only sport I've heard of offering $50,000,000/yr to wreck your team mate.mikeMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6644918126688721788.post-67562523299364815242016-06-13T13:07:53.892+01:002016-06-13T13:07:53.892+01:00Reading, over eating/drinking.
