    The Raiders are expected to cut Derek Carr in the next 48 hours. The media have been telling the story that it was in Carr's best interests to accept a trade for a couple of months. However, the concept that he would attract a higher salary if a team had to offer picks to the Raiders, rather than signing him as a free agent was bizarre. However, this narrative was common on the Raiders beat. The problem was the contract from the new Raiders regime had Carr earning ~$40 million per year in '24 and '25. There are probably only 4-5 QBs who could justify this $$$ (and Carr is not one of them). Once that contract was signed, Carr was ALWAYS going to get cut. Carr is now being portrayed as the villain (for not being willing to waive his no-trade clause, and accept a lower salary). The actual villain is Ziegler, for coming up with the contract that allows Carr to leave as a free agent...

    I didn't have any issue with the main character or her motivations. I never felt connected with the world, and I always felt I was in a drug-induced delusion. I assume this is what the writers were aiming for -- but this sort of surreal storytelling doesn't connect with me.

    If they were intergalactic travelers instead of interstellar travelers -- How would we know?

    The only time I have ever had a Mr. Pibb was at a Coke Freestyle machine at McDonald's. I can confirm that a Diet Mr. Pibb with vanila and raspberry syrup added to it is very good.

    I thought he wouldn't look as good without Tyreek Hill. Boy, was I wrong.

    Is Dr. Pepper just a mixture of Coke and Root Beer?

    It doesn't need to be catchable for it to be a hold, that's for pass interference.

    When they get here, they're not going to appear as weather balloons over Lake Huron.

    I saw the end credits of Control. Playing through the DLC. It's a really solid game -- only with a story that really isn't to my taste. But graphically good, and combat that is really fun (once the powers/guns open up 1/3 of the way through the game). I really wish developers wouldn't hamstring the gameplay for the first 5-6 hours of these game.

    None of these last 3 objects have had any sort of propulsion, and none of them were emitting communications signals. It's never aliens.

    You're misremembering. Pereira said he thought it was a hold. "I think you have to see the whole thing. It seemed to me at the initial break, he grabbed the back of the jersey and pulled it. If we see that, I think that is a hold."

    They're not aliens. They're from China.

    NORAD exists because the US felt that Canada couldn't adequately prevent Soviet strategic bombers from flying over Canada and dropping nukes on US cities. So the US created a radar network that covered the North (much of it in Canada), and created a "joint" organization that is permanently under the control of a US general. The issue is Canada has zero military installations in the North (Yukon/Nunavut/Northwest Territories), and has an air force incapable of providing for its own air defence. Our entire air force is made up of planes that were last made when I was in middle school (that have been "upgraded" since), including a bunch bought used several years ago after the Australian AF moved on from them. We don't have a Navy that can patrol our waters either. That we had to rely on the US AF to shoot down a drone (or alien space ship if you believe some on Twitter) should be a national embarrassment -- and demonstrates how incapable our national defence is.

    The refs didn't decide the game last night -- despite what Eagles fans are claiming. 1) The holding call at the end was legit, even if it was a little weak 2) The missed holding call on the Eagles on the Chiefs 3rd down in the first half was blatant, and had a huge impact on the final score.

    It's actually true -- the Raiders have had, by far, the worst defence over the last 20 years.
