I mean… What would make the most sense would be for the race to be over when its predetermined distance has been completed.

No reason to make the race longer. If it ends under a yellow flag, it ends under a yellow flag. If they have to red flag it, resume at the distance they were at. I don’t see how this is complicated or controversial

Then again, the pure intentional chaos at the end of recent Daytona 500’s should have been nipped in the bud and not allowed in the first place

Next thing you know they’re going to add an extra hour on to the 24 hours of Le Mans because somebody crashed during the final hour. Or maybe we can add an extra stage to the Monaco rally if one stage is too muddy. I know let’s make the Baja 1000 an extra 60 miles long just in case somebody breaks an axle! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

but if they do want to add laps on (which still doesn’t make any damn sense) why not just call them “extra laps”

Jesus Christ this comment section is a war zone.

It was a good race, but not great IMO.

Ricky is a good driver - happy he bagged it!

Extra laps, maybe? That would make it consistent with baseball, anyway.

What would make more sense than “overtime”? Overlap? Overdrive?

Golf is more popular in the past few years than it ever has been

You know… I was thinking the exact same thing lol I’m sure they’re referring to the period of time it took to complete the race but it’s still a really stupid headline.

Edit: turns out you were more right than you knew, and I was totally wrong. Somehow a race has overtime (which doesn’t make any sense because the race isn’t timed) and the “overtime” resulted in extra laps being run, so it was in fact a 530 mile long 500 mile race.

Not as much as you incels hate anyone who isn’t a straight white male

If Dan Snyder wasn’t the owner anymore I’d of had no problem with this decision. But I mean, it’s such a poorly run franchise it’s still amazing to me they almost made the playoffs. Also it’s really hard to grasp the fact all these young white dudes who haven’t won anything are getting head coaching jobs and coordinator jobs. It’s pretty disturbing actually.

Cheers. I'll look for the clip.

It’s a reference to an ESPN(?) clip recently. The sportscaster made that comment as a transition from women’s to men’s college basketball.

There’s also that competitive drive to wanna be THAT guy. Like it’s a big if, but if he’s able to have success in Washington he’ll pretty much get whatever gig he wants

You must hate accountability.

I see players, hoops and a ball. Unless you meant slamball idk what your on about.

I would be the one to drive 501 miles to fall down at your door

You know things are jacked up when someone one 500 mile race is longer than the rest

Hands off the clown pipes! Homies right…golf hasn’t found a more interesting dude to talk about in 20 years. He’s been washed up for a decade, yet every article in golf is about his inevitable comeback.

We’re still waiting…

Remember when EA just dropped him from the cover of his own licensed game? That was over 10 years ago. His brand has long since become toxic for anyone who isn’t an old white dude. His advertisers outside of golf dried up. The PGA and Tiger are propping each other up at this point.

Golf can barely get televised anymore, viewership has lived and died with its Tiger obsession…clinging to an aging athlete with laughable PR. The PGA will always be elitist and out of touch, being a fan must be emotionally exhausting…good luck!

SHAKE AND BAKE!

It’s actually happened a good handful of times, this wasn’t some super unprecedented outcome. This year was just the longest.

Maybe there should be an asterisk?
