Tweet at @BoxOfNeutrals and remember to add the #AskMcGinley for the supplement section (AOD90604 maybe James Hird will show up).

Or was this on SEN or some such?

'RSE Ventures is headed by Stephen Ross, owner of the Miami Dolphins football team.'

Mr. Ross is no Paul Allen. If it's anything to be guaged with the success of his AFC franchise I wouldn't expect any improvements outside of something related to promotional level.

Well, were not using NFL success as a gauge for F1 leadership. I want Kraft to stay the **** away from being associated with F1.

I should point out that the NFL is very very communist.
It has salary caps and the draft and has an interesting way of sharing TV rights.

How does a team like New Orleans go from second draft pick (because they were the second worst team in the NFL) in 2006, to Champions in 2009? That'd never happen in F1... unless you're Ross Brawn.

Now Qatar can have a GP without any bribing allegations.

Ha. Qatar is one of the few states without a race in that region.

Buying F1 is going a bit far :D

Bernie. I don't know how but the little prick will come out of it with even more money. He always does.

I guess it must be comforting to know that soon you'll be the richest dude in the cemetery.

Kraft? Nah, Mr. Ross seems better suited for the current trend:

Speaking of F1 & football, they could boost the attendance/tv ratings from both motor and ballsport fan bases by introducing Formula-Rugby. Just think of it, Hamilton and Rosburg have to complete passes to each other while driving so many laps and avoid being tackled - or smashed into more like - by Maldonaldo & Co.

Yeah, but just think of all the new juicy conspiracy theories that could be launched; like a high ranking shareholder/official's family member being tied to funneling funds to ISIS or Al-Qaeda. :D

Meaning more F1 exposure to gather in more fans... uh for what motive, I dunno.


If this goes through, I wonder how long it will be when Las Vegas will start setting odds of when F1 will be finished and/or the emergence of a break-away series.
