Plank from Ed, Edd and Eddy! I'm on board with this.

Leclerc is going to be magnificent this year. Looking forward to that.

It has come to my attention that Vettel's last WDC was 6 years ago.

How have you lasted this long with a fraud, Dr. Gonzo?

Jenson and a speaker playing cut clips of Murray Walker in the booth.

Though I think Jenson would bring out a better Brundle, rather than having to react to a driveling idiot all the time.

Brundle and Coulthard in the BBC glory days of 2011 worked well

Martin Brundle sucks rear end and I would support Vettel winning another eight or nine titles if it meant Sky replaced him with Steve Matchett, or even if Sky replaced him with a 15 pound dumbell I had to rest on my balls during each race session.

Matchett and Varsha let's go.

I really can’t think of a large sport today where you could start after ten years old and still have a shot of making it the top level.

I went to a white as poo poo neighbourhood growing up and every second kid said they were going to end up in the NHL some day. Only one kid did and the dude was practically autistic and spent every moment he wasn’t in school playing hockey and his parents then moved to the states so he could attend an academy focused on developing young athletes in various fields, the rest gave up once they found out their older siblings would buy them beer and ciggies and started spending their weekends in the parks vomiting after drinking like an 8th of a 40.

Joel Embiid first picked up a basketball at 16 or so and is a Top X player

It does happen but like 95% of the time they were prepping for another professional sport and find out they like something else better and switch. I’d take a wild stab and say he probably was training for football or something and got a concussion so switched to this.

He was en route to becoming a professional volleyball player in europe apparently. Where he could probably have made tens of euros but managed to get talent scouted over to an actual career in america. Also hes 7 foot tall.
