  1. Larry Bird, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, had a lifetime 3-point shooting percentage of 37.6% during his career in the NBA. He played for the Boston Celtics from 1979 to 1992, and during that time, he made 649 out of 1727 attempts from beyond the arc. It's important to note that the NBA introduced the three-point line in the 1979-80 season, which was Bird's rookie year. So, his career 3-point percentage is based on his performance over the course of 13 seasons. As of my knowledge cutoff in 2021, the three players with the highest lifetime 3-point shooting percentage in NBA history (minimum 250 attempts) are: Steve Kerr - 45.4% Hubert Davis - 44.1% Stephen Curry - 43.5% It's worth noting that this list may have changed since my knowledge cutoff, as players' statistics can change over time.
  2. Watershed maps of the US. https://5thworldadventures.blogspot.com/2018/07/watershed-map-of-us.html
  3. Reid is the reason Mahomes is MVP. Not saying he isn't great but in the conference game, a back-up QB marched the KC down the field for their longest drive of the year. To me, that shows what a great system they have in place.
  4. I have wondered this for at least 20 years. I think the results would be better if you get a head coach that is a good organizer, maybe on the cheap, and then hire, overpay, the best OC and DC your can get. I would think the OC and DC are more important to your game than the head coach.
  5. I am not sure it would be archived here, but I have found good articles I was looking for. Give it a try, it takes a little bit of work. https://archive.org/web/
  6. I have a problem keeping track of time. Is it April 1st already?
  7. It does not look like it bounces off Beasley's chest. It looks like it bounces off Holland's arm. You have to see the view from the front. https://www.miamidolphins.com/video/jevon-holland-gets-an-interception
  8. I was unaware of the Ponzi scheme connection to stamps. The link that Jauronimo posted is a good read. The one thing Crypto shares with Ponzi, those that got in early mostly made out ok. Those that got in at or after the peak, not so much. In the end the value of anything is what you can get for it. That applies to Crypto, stocks, housing, classic cars, beany babies, baseball cards, etc. I forgot, the Greenback.
  9. The state of news reporting these days. They showed the same picture last winter.
  10. I went to the post office today, and there was a Bitcoin machine next to the stamp machine. After some thought, I bought $500 in Forever Stamps. In the end, I think that will be a far better investment.
  11. I liked all of the Riddick movies.
  12. The sky is falling!!
  13. There is already a winner. The last person eliminated was during week 5. The winner was someone named Buffalo is Delicious.
  14. They brought Hackett in because it is a clever way to tank. You don't have to get rid of the talent on the roster, just let Hackett do his thing.
  15. After seeing your post, I asked myself why I have never tried to go to a Renaissance concert, so I went to look to see if they might be touring. Shockingly, they are in Homer,NY tomorrow. I'm one hour away. It's a great place to see a concert, as it is an old church. I saw the Strawbs there and the sound was excellent. Bad news, my car is being repaired. For those out Albany way, they will be in Troy Thursday night.
  16. Thanks for the great link. It was mini-Beatles concert. Just yesterday I was wondering through Youtube when I watched a video where the presenter was stating how under-rated Ringo was as a drummer. In his past, a guy audtioning for a drummer in a band stated Ringo sucked. So the autioner challenged him to play the drums for "Act Naturally." He couldn't really do it for more than 30 seconds. The presenter then pointed out if you watch Ringo, he does it effortlessly and sings at the same time. In the comments under the video, several posters said Ringo was a human metronome. Here is the link, if you are interested.
  17. LOL. I had to google that also. I had a "d" in there. I hate to mispell for some reason, so when you see me post with a mispelled word, it is a typing error.🙄
  18. If they ever remake Papillon, there is a part waiting for him. I had to do a search to make sure I spelled Papillon correctly, and what do you know, they already remade Papillon in 2017. Sacrilege!!
  19. To be fair to Shakir, the Bills actually have to be in a Championship game before you can make that comparison.
  20. There is enough silicone there to end the chip shortage.
  21. There were a couple of passes during the game, even though they may have been completed, where I thought Allen may have had the ball slip out of his hand. I do know it is very hard to throw accurately when your hands are sweating profusely.
  22. Thanks for the additional leagues. Typically by week 5, 20 or 30 people have stopped playing. I guess as soon as they lose in survivor, they quit on Pickem.
  23. I am really going to miss this show. A fitting ending as Jimmy redeems himself. You have to give the writers and the actors a huge amount of credit. Every character in this was engaging. Throughout this last season, I have gotten lost a couple of times. There were scenes I didn't understand and conversations on this board I understood even less. The reason for this is, I have yet to see a single episode of Breaking Bad. I find it hard to believe it could be better than Saul. As far as I can see, not knowing the Breaking Bad story/characters didn't detract from Saul. Maybe you don't miss, what you don't know.
