Space exploration can and has provided benefits that are used back here on Earth. A broader understanding of what is around us, information gained that can be re-applied at home, Tang, etc……. I’m not sure what specifically sending a manned mission to Mars will provide that sending robots cannot. The physics required to get a person to Mars and back in a healthy manner are far more daunting than sending a robot. Some say it is human nature to explore and I agree. Where the limits to that render it counterproductive is up for debate. Each mission carries risk and reward. Manned missions cost more thus have more risk for similar potential reward. The further we go, the more this is pronounced. SETI and the like is where the real waste exists since intelligent life in the galaxy/universe has essentially been ruled out mathematically already. Thankfully the percentage of money spent on that crap is actually pretty low, but every penny is a wasted penny. If I were in charge of everything, I wouldn’t be too far off what we’re doing but probably nix any manned Mars stuff for the foreseeable future. The ultimate goal would be to explore the galaxy and expand our domain, but not by transporting blobs of flesh around at enormous cost with little chance of success. It would be small dna samples on small self replicating robots. We don’t have that technology yet, but it will certainly be here before any Star Trek mumbo jumbo.

Comparing Eichel and Allen is beyond what a human brain should be able to comprehend.

My slowing down?

Agholor + Parker = ?????

We’re in America. No such thing as a bloke.

And some people will wonder why @Your Brown Eye is nowhere to be seen until at least tonight.

Sports Illustrated has devolved to the point where it is publishing a story based on “liked tweets”.

Don’t sell yourself short. You’re an all around douche.

Well, he started this thread so I’d say no. At least this time it wasn’t Bole Ceasley.

And in the spring the pick they traded for him will be completely invisible.

Better angle helped.

I don5bthink so. Think they are from left.

Soccer fans be honest. If FRANCE can get this far in what is supposed to be a top level event TWICE in a row, can it really be all that much of a sport? I mean…….France? Shirley

I think there were contendants on Hogan’s Heroes.

When do the Rams get to participate in the NFL draft again? 2025? They are screwed.

Congress members calling NFL owners liars. LOL. I’m not a fan of Snyder but Shirley.

Badol I think put it best with his cotton comment. The NCAA has been stealing money for years. I think Bill is also correct calling this anarchy even if I disagree that players on balance will experience a degradation in play. It may be for some, but others may get a taste for the money and work even harder for the big NFL bucks. A wash? The difficulty here is that the NCAA thieves are completely inexperienced in creating or maintaining a system based on fairness rather than thievery. Maybe they can fix it but if they do there will be a lot of turmoil which is only beginning now. Let’s face it, if they basically swept a decade of child rape under the rug so that the Penn State dollars could keep flowing, they will only fix the transfer portal, NIL, etc. if they can measure the loss of money. They can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube and they don’t really know how to create a new tube yet.

I think we can all see that the defense is just young and will eventually tighten up. You’re right. It’s the goalies. 9-2 was enough to be confident in Ukka Puka Sambuca holding it……. but barely.

I’m pretty sure Poyer will use that repeatedly when talking with Allen.

I see Herbert in roughly the same position in most lists like this but every week he and his coach do something stupid to lose a game. At what point does that stop being ignored as if it were the exception? I see the raw talent but he’s as dumb as a box of rocks. Hurts, when I watch, seems to consistently avoid dumb mistakes. Personally I’d move him up. I agree with others moving Stafford down based on age/health. Does Tua fit in your “after that” group? I’d guess that Lawrence will get there and Watson will re-emerge at some point.

Aliens don’t exist.

And do you only remember 10 Aaron Judge HRs this year so he is a Punch and Judy hitter now?

That’s true. A big thing in Orchard Park NY for sure
