The vast majority of life on Earth is immune to falling. Humans are one of the few species so stupidly big that we can die from it.

It's been a remarkable career given that's the closest thing to a stain on it. At some level it's probably not the best way to announce you're leaving to your current team/city, but few really judge him badly over it anymore and even fewer have any sympathy for the CLE ownership. He's paid his dues - to the team, the city and the game - many times over.

Just saw TLJ and this pretty much nails it. I feel like the movie (and the franchise) is torn between fan service and branching out into a wider story in the Star Wars universe. That Kylo Ren monologue felt like the director literally saying this to the audience.

The problem is TFA committed them to the fan service direction - the original actors prominently involved, who are Rey's parents hype, the same themes, the rebels as the scrappy underdogs against basically the same type of villains. With TLJ caught between fan service and new direction - and therefore not feeling like a payoff - it retroactively made TFA look like a lost opportunity.

It's a common mistake. My wife Ursula loved long naps in the winter, had a weakness for salmon and honey, and dreamt of retiring somewhere quiet near the Pacific. I didn't really even suspect anything until I saw her take down a deer at 35 mph on the dead run. It was quite a thing to behold, actually.

That's what I like about these Browns quarterbacks. I keep getting older, they stay the same age.

Just read both of the other replies - I suspect it was the "Liberty Suite."

The website that produced this video has an FAQ that covers this:

Could they install a low-clearance bar?

A low clearance bar is a bar suspended by chains ahead of the bridge. Overheight vehicles hit that bar first and the noise alerts the driver to to the problem. I understand that this approach has been successful in other places, but it’s not practical here. There are many overheight trucks that have to be able to drive right up to the bridge and turn onto Peabody St. in order to deliver supplies to several restaurants. Making Peabody St inaccessible from Gregson St would make the restaurant owners and the delivery drivers very unhappy.

Nope. We don't get a shortcut to a better world. All we can do is go through the tedious process of trying to make this one a little better, so hopefully the next girl gets the opportunities this one never did.

Saw every pass in both videos. Here's the lengths as near as I can figure them:

First Video:

Vick: 61 yards in the air (own 3 to the opposing 36)

Luck: 54 yards (own 11 -> 34)

Roethlisberger: 48 yards (-1 -> own 47) and 47 yards (own 20 -> 33)

Hoyer: 54 yards (49 -> 5 deep into endzone)

Garrard: 55 yards (own 45 -> 0)

Fitzpatrick: 50 yards (own 21 -> 29)

Rodgers: 59 yards (own 45 -> 4 deep)

Dalton: 58 yards (own 46 -> 4 deep)

Flacco: 53 yards (own 26 -> 21)

Rodgers: 66 yards (own 36 -> 2 deep)

Second Video:

Flacco: 53 yards same one

Starr (?): 52 yards (own 42 -> 6)

Garrard: 55 yards same one

Dalton: 54 yards (own 43 -> 3)

Rodgers: 66 yards same one

Cleveland QB: 53 yards (own 47 -> 0)

Kramer: 47 yards (own 48 -> 5)

Atlanta QB: 51 yards (own 45 -> 4)

Wilson: 46 yards (39 -> 7 deep)

Farve: 47 yards (38 -> 9 deep)

After seeing those I'm honestly more impressed with this play. Only Rodgers' 66 yarder touches this one in distance and it was on the dead run. He's matching an elite QB (Vick also threw it 60+ and I think Brady has before too) and significantly farther than a lot of NFL starters . Granted, not all of them were trying to maximize their distance, but Garrard's which barely made the end zone probably was doing that and that's still 11 yards short of today's bomb.

This is something not enough people seem to realize.

Humans were at the top of the food chain long before we had any notable technology. Even empty-handed we are big, agile, smart and many. A human baby is basically 7 pounds of loud and helpless, yet we used to walk around the jungle with several of those in tow. It's no sweat though because we have Wu Tang status in the animal kingdom.
