@GeneSteratore But he only lost the ball because a defender took it! He clearly had it when he hit the ground.

Obviously a lot of talk about the overtime of Bills vs Broncos. Here are my thoughts on all of the big rulings down the stretch: No Flag for PI on Denver I support the decision to not flag Denver on the fade route. Is there contact? Sure, but it’s a play on to me. Interception or Catch? The interception is a wild play, with a lot going on. Seeing it full speed, I thought it was an interception and would’ve ruled it that way if I was on the field. My perspective on it is that Cooks lost the ball as soon as his body hit the ground. In my opinion, if there was no defender near him and he lost the ball when he hit the ground, the ruling would’ve been incomplete. I would have liked to see the game stopped for a more formal review, with an announcement from the referee on exactly how they ruled. Pass Interference #1 on Bills I didn’t think this was a foul. It was, to me, the same play that happened the drive before with Denver and didn’t warrant a flag. Noting that on that play there was a flag for Roughing the Passer too, so Denver still would’ve got a first down. Pass Interference #2 on Bills Clearly correct and pass interference.

At some point when reviewing plays, the league should consider adding a speed threshold for anything involving the element of time. When you slow plays down to 1/100th the speed, it distorts what actually happened and makes it look like, in this case, Cooks possessed the ball for seconds prior to losing it. The game is not played in slow motion or frame by frame. For a catch: A) Secure control of the ball ✅ B) Two feet down in bounds ✅ C) After (a) and (b) have been fulfilled, clearly performs any act common to the game (e.g., extend the ball forward, take an additional step, tuck the ball away and turn upfield, or avoid or ward off an opponent), or he maintains control of the ball long enough to do so. C is where there is a judgement needed since A and B are clearly met. Now consider this note to the rule: If a player, who satisfied (a) and (b), but has not satisfied (c), contacts the ground and loses control of the ball, it is an incomplete pass if the ball hits the ground before he regains control, or if he regains control out of bounds. Because Cooks did lose control of the ball when he contacted the ground and the ball never contacted the ground, it was ruled an interception by Denver.

This was called an interception and it ended the Bills season. What did Bills fans do to deserve this torture?

The Sun is an enormous, free fusion reactor in the sky. It is super dumb to make tiny fusion reactors on Earth. Even if you burned 4 Jupiters, the Sun would still round up to 100% of all power that will ever be produced in the solar system!! Stop wasting money on puny little reactors, unless actively acknowledging that they are just there for your pet science project jfc.

Reminder: NC State would have to win the next 28 consecutive games against #UNC to tie the all-time series. Been a bad few years, but Heels still own the rivalry.

Y'all don't wanna hear this but 😬 Bryce Young wasn't that bad against Green Bay. Today Canales re-emphasized the game plan. Get the ball out quickly, neutralize their pass rush. Protect our banged up OL. We only threw it 20 times, heavily leaned on the run. INT ❌ Off-target throws ❌ Don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm not saying he "played well" against GB. BUT...this wasn't one of those games where I came away feeling it was an unacceptable performance. IMO he mostly executed the game plan with some timely throws, used his legs when needed, and delivered with a couple of clutch throws on the GW drive. On to New Orleans #KeepPounding

@knightworld Yes. It would only take tiny adjustments to prevent global warming or global cooling for that matter. Earth has been a snowball may times in the past.

A large solar-powered AI satellite constellation would be able to prevent global warming by making tiny adjustments in how much solar energy reached Earth
