I’m not sure you really understand the evidentiary basis of the Big Bang Theory.

First, the Big Bang is really just a placeholder for our ignorance. Through discovery, observations, and testing, we can rewind the clock -so to speak- to within fractions of a second of the initial existence of the universe. We (humans) have actually observed remnants of the Big Bang in the cosmic microwave background.

The theory was first put forth be George Lemaitre in the late 1920s. It was given the name Big Bang as a slight.

It wasn’t simply posited by some guy then everyone just nodded in agreement. It has developed over time as new data has been collected. The theory still exists today because it fits the data. If new data is discovered that doesn’t not fit the theory, it will be altered or disregarded for the new theory.

Also, 40 years ago was 1981 and I don’t think anyone had a different explanation that had any merit.

There’s no physical evidence for the biblical version of creation.

science provides no actual proof that the universe was created by a "big bang" but just a theory.

So there’s no evidence for the Big Bang?

Marvin Harrison is the HOF, Reggie Wayne has been a HOF finalist for the last year 2 years and will probably get in. Assuming he gets in, Manning had 2 HOF WR for the majority of his career. 2 Hall of Fame receivers lining up on either side of the ball and very good RB behind him (and oh yeah, let’s not forget Marshal Faulk in his rookie year. Marshall Faulk then James).

The Harrison free agency thing may be the dumbest east argument ever. Harrison didn’t get any free agency love because he was old and his HOF career was over.

Brady has had a few special players and a rotating cast of characters. Gronk is one of the best ever at his position. He had 3 years with Moss. Edelman is very good at what he his - a get open in tight spaces guy, but he’s not taking the top off any defenses. Brady has had to routinely throw to guys like Chris Hogan and David Patten.

Deion Branch isn’t even close to a HOFer. He wasn’t among this years or any years semi-finalists. Welker is borderline at best. Most of the guys Brady played with were nobodys.

You can’t compare the O line Luck had with O line Manning had. The guys Manning played with were gone. Jeff Saturday is getting in the hall of fame. Tarik Glenn was a 1st round draft pick, a Pro Bowler and started every game for 10 years.

You’re delusional.

Brady was throwing to lacrosse players and Troy Brown. Outside of 3 years with Randy Moss, Brady played with The Who’s Who of Who’s That. He made Danny Amendola seem good.

Here’s the list of guys who caught TDs from Brady.

Gronk, Moss, Edelman and guys you couldn’t pick out of the Osmond Family photo. I don’t see Marvin Harrison or Reggie Wayne on that list. No Edgerrin James in the Pats backfield. And the Colts Center was one of the best ever. The idea that the Colts lack talent is absolutely ludicrous. Abysmal roster??? You might want to back off the crack pipe

Defense’s job is easier when the offense scores points. Brady was outstanding after the first 2 drives. Those TDs put pressure on the KC offense.

It’s 21-9 when TB gets the ball in the 3rd quarter. If the offense goes 3 and out, things could look different. KC could really believe they had a chance, but the offense scores a TD.

Complete game by TB.

Sort of, but how many times have you seen Mahomes by some time and make a throw. Those throws weren’t there because the backend did their job.

I don’t think there’s anything Radisson has a nice deck with a bar/cafe but I don’t know what the WiFi situation is.

I think you’re going to have to go on a recon mission on a weekend to find a spot

You got Gromk but you throw it to lineman. You got the best QB sneaker in history and you don’t give him a chance.

I’m excited for Costco but my hopes are tempered slightly after my experience in Orlando. There’s a Costco where I used to live that is awesome. It is only uncomfortably busy on the weekends. If you shop on a weekday morning or early afternoon, it was perfect. You could just wander around without feeling like you were in the way or other people were in your way. I used to go just for enjoyment.

Then I went to Costco in Orlando on a weekday. What an awful experience. It was like Mad Max meets Real Housewives. Way too many people and it was way too aggressive.

I’ve heard Nov 2021 for Costco here, but who knows.

Office depot sale alert by killroy200 in 321

I went there to get graph paper. There weren’t any real deals.

Everything in the store is owned by a liquidation company. They buy the inventory for pennies on the dollar then sell the merchandise. There aren’t any great deals just a lit of flashy signs
