He muffed it, I think. Touched it way up field. He had to pick it up and attempt to get it up field. Was a live ball. If he gets tackled in EZ, it'd been a safety. 82 yards, as not as sexy... Is more impressive. Talking difference of 16 yards all not bouncing around 40.

They already recycle the "buffet slop" and send it to local pig farms.

I live & work in real-world where personal safety is an issue with stuff like OUI (Operating Under The Influence)... There's going to be some connection with causation. Alcohol is much easier to manage IMO. We're entering a brave new time. So much more unknown with individuals and their state of minds. All I am saying is we should tread carefully. Dealing with a populace who's self-medicating will bring its challenges more than alcohol. Or... If illegal push them to more innocuous drugs like alcohol. Innocuous when it comes to self-medicating. FWIW... People are psychological walking time-bombs out there. Now, mix in a wildcard. 😬😬 [I see parallels to the gun debate and personal freedom]

This ain't gonna end well... I am just smart enough to see it. Alcohol isn't great, but not as dicey. https://www.verywellmind.com/can-marijuana-cause-psychosis-5200547 "The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) reports that substance/medication-induced psychotic disorder accounts for between 7% and 25% of all first-time psychotic episodes." "A study published in the journal The Lancet found that people who smoke high potency marijuana on a daily basis potentially have a five times greater risk of developing psychosis compared to people who have never smoked marijuana."

Nothing good can come of it. It's like taking the "guns approach"... And expecting everyone to be a responsible person. Just ain't gonna happen. We are replacing one crutch with another. There's more people in my county than the whole state of VT. 😉

They'd probably have to reverse osmosis the water before they can pipe. No way it would pass the environmental test.

Remember, if it lasts for more than 4 hours, seek medical help immediately. 😏

Francis. 😏 It's a problem. Illinois it's totally recreationally legal, and it shows. Replacing one problem with another. Makes everyone's job harder.

It really is funny, till someone actually dies. It's not at all about patience, would you think the same with a DUI on the road, we should have more patience with them... Of course not, you and your family, along with myself and loved ones share the road with them.

From Wikipedia: "Araiza is of Mexican descent through his father, Rico, who was born in Mexico. Araiza has stated that he does not "necessarily love the nickname" of 'Punt God', though recognizes it as a "huge compliment." " SO... Your concerns are addressed. Anyway... He's NOT God, but PUNT God. That's still below the Big Guy! 😏 There's all kinds of lesser Gods/Goddesses. No disrespect.

When you look at O'Neal's... Almost 30 yards is bouncing.

Here's HoFer Ray Guy's career stats. In just over a 1,000 punts, Guy's longest was 74 yards. In his first pro game, Punt God shatters Guy's longest by 8 yards and there was no wind. Fasten your seat belts folks. Ray Guy (P): Career NFL statistics Punts: 1,049 Punting yards: 44,493 Average punt: 42.4 Longest punt: 74 Here's the longest in NFL history, look how many yards it bounces. 98 yards total. Yet, Steve O'Neal gets minimal extension like Punt God does: Gotta click link. Nasty NFL won't embed it.

I disagree. With pot we're still learning what DUI is and is not. With both it has to be zero tolerance. Don't operate things while drugged by any means. I see stoned dudes sinking boats and blocking navigation. At least with drunks they just fly right out of way. Stoned people just malinger and are slow as molasses and make more basic cognition mistakes. It's becoming a problem because they don't know where they're at and you don't know if they are sober or not. Get to that stage w/alcohol and they usually aren't operating, someone else is because DUI awareness has been beat into society's skull. Honestly, I'd rather see them starting a fight or causing a ruckus, because it draws your attention to get away or get them to be pulled over. You never know who's stoned and not processing things. At least in my line of work, it makes things harder. With a drunk it's obvious. Pot is totally legal here and you never know who's under the influence. Are they just effing with you, clueless, or in a drugged out stupor? Stealth DUI sucks from where I am coming from. We have our work cut out for us. Replacing one problem with another. And... When we do that, things don't usually go well!

That's a myth. Everyone's motor kills are worse at .08%. Get worse right up from zero. Thing is... How are they going to detect sobriety in a high person?

You are a right! The lower Mississippi in Louisiana floods. All it does is go to the Gulf of Mexico anyway. Why not send it to the SW. BUT charge them... Make it so damn expensive in taxes, costs that it's not an incentive to recklessly develop. This is what should be happening in the coastal climate change "danger zones" too. Do not tie the cost to economic output to the rest of country... Like Florida sending beef or sugar... Tie cost directly to living there per person or to tourist, income taxes, etc...

I can respect that. You don't kiss and tell! 😉

Does it keep the mosquitoes away? Blend some Love's Baby Soft in there! [THANK me if you get lucky tonight]

At least they get good shoes! Fun fact: Did you know that typical modern postal trucks (LLVs) out there were only made from 1987 to 1994? Yup, last one rolled off line in 1994 almost 30 years ago. You can tell what year they were made by the first number on the back, driver side. 1987 models start with a 7 and so on, ending in 1994 (no 5s or 6s). My mail just came, the truck # started with a #4. Made in 1994. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grumman_LLV

Yet. People vape and put liquid in their lungs! /smdh Seems like we always find something that is supposed to be less harmful, yet it ends up more harmful. I am skeptical when it comes to replacing drugs with other drugs. Yup! And in my daily life it's people on the water stoned. Tooling around when they should be paying attention to traffic and that 10,000 ton vessel instead of nature. Being out in the sun all day drinking puts blinders on people, what is marijuana gonna do? Focus in on nature or the task at hand? Again... Booze got tied to recreational interests... And look at the consequences, the majority of deaths out boating are due to alcohol and not wearing a PFD (life preserver, a type I, II will turn you over in water to breathe in the event your unconscious, type III might in certain events). Just wait till pot overtakes alcohol... We won't get the dumb euphoria stuff, but the slow cognitive mistakes. The slow cognitive mistakes are deadlier on water than the road. Sorry for being a Debbie Downer. I interact with 10s of thousands of people yearly and a lot sober are just winging it. Drugs (booze, etc...) is always at the center of a serious incident. Fair enough... But they are titrating the doses themselves. Most pill poppers may have a doctor behind them. Well I hope.

And there in lies a problem. It reacts with different people in different ways. Could have been laced with acid, maybe it wasn't. Is there really only set effects when taking the drug? Most likely not. Alcohol is already a huge burden recreational-wise. I am not against it, but just in my line or work (or your's too) ... Or heck anybody out there interacting with the public... That people are wandering around out there medicated. Titrating their doseages any way they feel. Just last year a boat sunk in the lock, both guys were stoned bejesus to the gills. They tied static to the wall and "hung up"... Their boat swamped with water. Quite a mess from a simple cognitive mistake. I suspect we're gonna see lots of issues until the ability to test people for impairment is achieved?

Can they install a pipe and divert it to Lake Mead?

+1 Enjoy... Probably "doesn't" need be said, yet it always needs to be said:

Thnx! Agree... https://hallucinogens.com/what-are-hallucinogens/is-marijuana-a-hallucinogen/ IMO, we really need to tread carefully. From the above: Hallucinogenic Effects of Marijuana: Although the hallucinogenic effects of marijuana have been, for the most part, considered less than those of other hallucinogens such as PCP, LSD, and mescaline, there is certain degree of unpredictability in every marijuana experience. Marijuana can distort cognitive, emotional, and sensory perceptions in both pleasurable and negative ways and in basically, the same manner that other hallucinogen drugs do by over-stimulating the release of neurotransmitters and disrupting communications between nerve cells. Hallucinations, paranoia, extreme anxiety, and delusions are possible with heavy marijuana use and since there is a marked ratio of high THC in today’s marijuana, these issues are becoming more common. Most people who use marijuana experience a tranquil and calming effect mixed with elevated moods and senses, but, a person who feels like they are out of touch with reality when they anticipated another effect can have a terrifying experience. Other individuals may display bizarre and unusual behaviors, become incoherent, or appear to be in a trance-like state. Effects of Marijuana in Adolescent Use A study by Duke University reported that “fewer adolescents believe that regular cannabis use is harmful to health. Concomitantly, adolescents are initiating cannabis use at younger ages, and more adolescents are using cannabis on a daily basis.” Persistent cannabis use was associated with greater neuropsychological decline and more cognitive problems that have a cascading and lasting impact in these individuals and cessation of use did not fully restore neuropsychological functioning. FWIW... Full steam ahead in semi-charted waters. What could go wrong?

Gee! This is wonderful news... Now that the whole state of Illinois is legally using it recreationally. And Illinois was depressing to begin with. When's the long term study gonna be released, I am on the fence. 😏

There is a "Leesburg" in 6/11 US States that seceded from The Union. BOY, they sure like to honor that fella down there! 😉 [Well, there's a Leesburg Illinois, Indiana, and Kentucky... AND what da heck is one doing in Idaho!]
