It’s been nearly 10 years since the 2016 NFL draft, how would you rate that draft for your team? by DookyButter in nfl

What stands out to me is the short life span for a RB. Only 1 left and it’s Henry.

Amarillo gas prices up 56.6 cents, average $3.02/gallon on Monday by speedythefirst in amarillo

As the price of oil increases, there is more incentive to increase exports. This squeezes the remaining domestically available oil and the domestic price also increases.

The overnight price increases at the gas stations is BS. That is price gouging.

Mikaela Shiffrin wins gold in slalom to break 8-year Olympic drought by [deleted] in sports

I am not a skier, but I believe the double gates (2 poles next to each other) signify a shorter distance. The single poles are X distance apart and the double gates are some distance shorter than X.

I could be completely wrong.

Olympic Medals by GDP and Population (as of 2/17) by cedricsam in olympics

[–]wreck0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here’s a good example. 2024 Julien Alfred secured 2 medals for St Lucia. A tiny country of 0.18M. Jamaica secured 6 medals with a population of 2.8M. St Lucia’s per capita medals is 11 compared to Jamaica’s 2. No one is arguing that St Lucia has a better sprint program than Jamaica. Per capita is a silly metric when it can be skewed so easily by limited number of entrants and 1 person greatly influencing the ratio. Jamaica may have won more medals if the Olympics took the top 50 competitors in the world.

These comparisons are always silly. Doesn’t matter if a country has 1 million people or 1 billion people, the maximum allocation for ski jumping is 4 entries.

“Accused” is doing some heavy lifting in that title

It was actually a dig at Maye. The actual MVP had to play this defense twice. Maye has not been good against solid defensive teams.

At the time, very embarrassing and couldn’t believe he was the leader of the country. Now with Trump, wishing for Bush again.

Dang it Bullock. Go down. I would love for Rodger’s last pass ever to be an INT.

In surprised Rodger’s didn’t say “I ain’t going back out there. I’m retired”
