Could Oracle have been sandbagging the first races? If not their progress if fenomenal!
Could be? There's talk on SA of the whole thing being rigged, while I doubt it, I also don't discount it as being a possibility.
something definitely doesn't add up.........
it's like NZL threw away the real crew and put a bunch rank amaturers
to me it looks like they are deliberately throwing it away.... cant belive the sudden change, if it looks like shyte, smells like shyte.... its probably shyte !!
These guys are sailors - not hollywood actors - and you can see Deano's desperation on his face after the races yesterday. He really did look like a man who knows millions of people's hopes and dreams rest on his shoulders and he's not able to handle the burden anymore.
My wife brought something like this up while we were watching the replay, that is they let them win to drag it out and make more money etc... She noted it looked like the Kiwi didn't bother showing up yesterday......
I told her this is not the LA Lakers in the Showtime Years where could have put a beat down on any of the teams the faced in the championship and kept it going for the TV money.
Anyway, here is what the wind is looking like today
