There's been a lot of discourse about live service games, but the fact that they *demand* an ongoing, employer-like relationship with players in order to be successful is unsustainable. Games can't keep being made that way

El Paso airspace closure due to use of U.S. military anti-drone technology The Federal Aviation Administration abruptly closed the airspace around El Paso, only to reopen it hours later. The bizarre episode pointed to a lack of coordination between the FAA and the Pentagon.

Pentagon-FAA dispute over lasers to thwart cartel drones led to airspace closure, AP sources say The sudden closure of airspace around El Paso, Texas, by the Federal Aviation Administration stemmed from the Pentagon’s plan to test a laser for shooting down Mexican cartel drones.

hoping to do a video on it, but for example: essentially these defenders are both the RB’s protection assignment. So when they both blitz, one is guaranteed to run free unless the Pats had adjusted their protection call (which they didn’t).

I know it’s intentional but we should stop calling everything AI, lumping useful machine learning techniques for science with large language models that tech companies are trying to cram into everything.

Today we learned that paleontologist Jack Horner (the same guy who helped give us "Jurassic Park") is in the Epstein Files. As a paleontologist, I feel compelled to say something because this touches my field and I want to make my stance clear on this...

StatsHub Explore FTN’s StatsHub β€” the most advanced NFL stats tool with player-level data, custom filters, and exclusive metrics like DVOA.

An interesting finding from the FTN StatsHub.

Sam Darnold this year was 26th in DVOA on in-breaking routes (dig, slant, post, drag).

He was fifth in DVOA on out-breaking routes (quick out, deep out, corner).

Did my second shift at the Fairgrounds for the Red Cross. One of the things that will be helpful for future disasters that require shelter services - have a Metro employee schedule specific "office hours" there every day it's open.

The Kwesi Konundrum: Why Did It Play Out Like This? The Minnesota Vikings, bafflingly, let go of their general manager in late January. It may have made sense to let him go at season's end, but the timing and reporting is puzzling. We break it down.

The details surrounding Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's firing was puzzling. I break down what I've read, what I've heard, what his track record is and why I think there's more at play than him simply being bad at drafting

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.

They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were β€œtreated kindly.”

Here's a handy video of some warm-up exercises you can do to help get yourself prepared to shovel! Obviously, adjust them to your fitness level, but the main goal is get yourself warmed up for physical activity. You can't go from 0 to 60 here, & you'll get a better idea of what you can handle!

Current thinking on accumulation. Right now several short term models predict about 2-3" of snow. Then between .25-.75" of ice. This will make things, um... difficult for us. Difficult for tree limbs and power lines, and very difficult for roads. Then, dangerously cold overnight temps.

I just have issues with Vrabel not appreciating protecting his qb enough. Maye is getting beat up like tannehill.

The Texans defense plays a good amount of man coverage and single-high in general on late downs. And they play it with an aggressive, top-down mentality.

Drake Maye also plays aggressive on late downs. That Kyle Williams target on the last drive might be the first of several.

When I see these reports, I always think of the reflection on the B lane swimmers (which, yikes, from 2009), about how among athletes better than the average, the worst behavior is often in those just a step below the top.
