Portland, Maine | Spithill has pulled a major headbutt on Barker. Not just on the start but in his head. I would like to see that again...I'm not convinced that NZ had time an opportunity there based on the short bit I saw...They did leave themselves incredibly vulnerable by being so early to the line but they shouldn't be required to anticipate Oracle's luff until it happens. Jake, if you look at the replay... Oracle was still coming up and Barker put the wheel over towards Oracle in the middle of Jimmy still pushing up. It was clear from that that they didn't do all they could... They should have tacked. | | | Re: AC72 Oracle Team USA Spaceship has landed

"ISAF Executive Committee cringing. Keeping in mind it's the same political body that kicked the multihull out of 2012 Olympics. No room for politics in our sport. Time to even it up on the water."

| 6 consecutive wins. Who would've thought. Not me, but they need 8. All this babble about this being one of the greatest comeback runs in sporting history (if they pull this off): tell me, what comeback would rank higher? Mike | | | Re: AC72 Oracle Team USA Spaceship has landed

South Carolina | The kiwis reversed the wing right after that first penalty, that made it very hard for Oracle to bear away. I saw that, it made them slide sideways like a mother. That was a mess!
