The pilots will tell you it's nuts to fly through the air at 500 knots and not wear your seatbelt. It is.

Kind of find the last statement funny. It's probably just nuts to get into a jet engine propelled tube and fly through the air at 500 knots period. Some day in the future they'll look back and laugh.

No it's not. There is no method of travel in the history of mankind that has Ever given you a better chance of making it from A to B, including and especially horses. Or, you can be Brian Wilson and spent 10 year "in my room", but that is even less healthy.

I don't disagree. I'm definitely flying lol. Just saying the concept is still funny and will eventually be obsolete.

That's like mama telling you to fly low and slow. Nope, the farther you are away from hard objects, the better.

Was Brock Purdy suppose to be on that flight??

I am glad he wasn't? 😬

If that happened though, BP would already be prepared with that backpack of his..there is a parachute in it, just in case.

It wasn't close at all. Not one person mentioned Lamar for MVP until every other option dropped off and Purdy was clearly better than them.

There isn't a running ladder to say who's actually ahead and behind. Lamar had been top 5 in odds for quite a few weeks though, and in the weeks prior to the game the other QBs ahead of him had effectively dropped back with poor performances. First it was Hurts and then Dak. Going into the game Brock was a -200 favorite to win and Lamar was second at +3-400. It was quite clear that the game would have a huge say in who would win the award and Brock had his worst game of his career arguably.

I hope some of these voters use their brain this year. Lamar was certainly the MVP of his team. But MVP of the league? I don't think so. I still think CMC or Tyreek should get it. If you compare Lamar's stats to other winners, he's not even close to their numbers. There were years Josh Allen was the MVP of his team and had MVP of the league numbers and still didn't get it. Lamar is so storyline driven and undeserving imo

Yeah, in the future humans driving cars/crashing/causing traffic will be obsolete as AI is perfected. It'll make traffic much more flowing since morons won't be not paying attention and taking forever to move or driving too slow or braking every 2 seconds.

just like eventually we will have high speed trains and stuff. It's fun to think about. Futures coming fast and it's a tad scary but awesome. I have a self driving Tesla and I love it. Took a little to get used to but I use it all the time.
