I’m ok with this guy but maybe Brian Burns can wear an Efe suit and show up in Orchard Park.

In related news, the NFL has announced a change to the comp pick process. Starting with the 2021 free agency period and 2022 draft, the more free agents you sign, the more comp picks you will be awarded. The rounds have also changed. With the first nine picks of the 2022 draft, the New England Patriots select:

I don’t know what that is but dark forest ham is pretty good.

Oops. I’ll try again. Sammy Watkins to Jax

The failure in that SB was TOP and that was on the D. The Bills moved the ball.

Pick any FA and predict where he ends up. Try not to pick a guy already rumored to a place. Mine: Jameis to Steelers

I read somewhere that all AFC teams get home in those crossovers this year and all NFC gets homes in 22.

We play them in Buffalo right?

Has every signing been an AFC team? I don’t remember anyone significant going to an NFC team yet.

Where is that gif of the guy screaming EVERYONE!!!!!! ?

Beane has been smart and has a three hour time zone advantage over much of the league. If there is a guy he really wants, he will know if he is competing with Seattle, SF, etc. and use those hours to his advantage.

Margot Kidder?

The one thing that bothers me about trading for Ertz or signing him if he is released is that: He blows.

I think of Drew Bledsoe.

Nobody said they have to send anything out to our neck of the woods, but it clearly follows logically that these other beings would be interested in exploration. This is a UFO thread after all. Further, and more importantly, for VN probes to have gotten here, it would not be necessary that ALL intelligent alien species explored in that highly logical manner, it would simply mean that ONE do so. Yet we’ve detected nothing. And VN probes are merely one possible avenue along with radio waves, Dyson spheres, and countless others...but.....nothing. I’ve seen the “maybe they don’t want us to see them” argument too. This would require that everyone who ever sent a signal to reach the conclusion that Earth should never see it. After that they would have to chase down every signal they ever sent, and somehow block it. Keep in mind that those signals would have went out at or near the speed of light in every direction. This means everyone who sent them would have to master traveling faster than light just to catch their own signals. None of that remotely passes the smell test.

The point is that although we are currently incapable of making self replicating Von Neumann probes, we are almost certainly within 100 years of being able to make them. The concept seems highly logical, almost inevitable. It is so much easier than sending a living being or multiple living beings on that kind of trip. Maybe we evolve to the point where we could send people, but robots are far more likely to be the first step. Agree? If you dig a little on VN probes, you’ll find that in theory, they could traverse our entire galaxy in roughly 250,000 years. That means a society, group, or even an individual that is 250,100 years older than us could have covered the galaxy by now. If the galaxy is in any way conducive to the common or even exceedingly rare development of intelligent life, we should have already seen them many times over. 250,000 years is almost nothing when compared with the age of the universe. If intelligent alien life existed, even if it were exceedingly rare, the timelines and math indicate we’d have likely seen these probes. This doesn’t even dip into the discussion on detection of radio signals and multitudes of other ways we already have to “see” things in space that would indicate intelligence.

I asked Patrick a question above about the most likely initial interstellar travel any advanced species would undertake. For some reason, he wants no part of it. If you answer that question, and overlay it with your quote above, where does that lead you? Hint: My answer to that question is similar to something called Von Neumann probes.

Duane is the guy that thinks Skinner is good at hockey, isn’t he?

I agree on Europa. I wouldn’t be shocked if there were something there. I also wouldn’t be shocked if there weren’t. My assertion has been very consistent as being about intelligent, communicative life in this universe. It hasn’t changed. To simplify it further, this started as a UFO thread and there are simply no alien originating UFOs.

I’ve always qualified that parallel universes, other dimensions and other things are not part of anything I’ve discussed. The observable universe is the only thing I’ve mentioned.

Do you think they will let him know? I don’t think he’d hurt the team like that just to win a Super Bowl.

He’s always hurt and we have the Irish hurling player who is finally allowed to play. Those guys don’t get hurt.

Wow. What are you suggesting? Conform or be cast out? Nice. Isn’t the point of a message board to discuss things on which we agree AND disagree? I don’t know if anyone on Earth agrees with me 100% on any topic. I don’t know that any two posters in this thread agree with each other 100%. There are most certainly people who agree with my assessment on the probability of aliens and I’ve posted several videos in this thread. Is that enough for me to have your royal approval to keep posting? Or maybe they aren’t aware that space is like totally big and has lots of galaxies and stuff.

Any objective viewer of today’s discussion can see who has been reasonable and who has not. The question I asked was not difficult. You should answer it. My answer to it is: The most likely way aliens would initially physically explore beyond their solar system would mirror what we are doing within our....and to a very limited extent beyond ours. The exploration tools would be mechanical in nature and not manned. This is because it is far easier to send a device that required neither life support nor propulsion systems required to transport that much bigger payload. Would you agree in general?

I have called people loons, but not the posters here. I don’t think you’re a loon. I think Baker Mayfield is a loon. I think some of the people who have made videos showing the Navy files as proof are loons. There is no way of knowing what is out there? Then what are all of those telescopes and other devices doing? Aren’t they collecting data? There is no way of knowing what could be out there? That’s simply not true. We can look at ourselves and extrapolate a bit. That certainly can provide some theories for what could be out there. Not everything, but some things. Honestly you’ve attempted no reasonable discussion at all. If you had you’d find it pretty easy to have a discussion with me. When I’ve repeated things, it has been because repeated questions get repeated answers. Why not at least try to have a reasonable discussion by answering the one simple question I wrote above? What is the most likely way an intelligent alien individual, group, or society would explore interstellar space, at least initially? By this I mean physical exploration, not just sending and receiving signals. That question is not unreasonable, is it?
